Lohan Fired from Lovelace Biopic, Akerman In

Lindsay Lohan has been fired from Inferno, the Linda Lovelace biopic, following her numerous stints in rehab, legal troubles, and generally unreliable behavior.

Writer-director Matthew Wilder has been shockingly supportive up to this point, waiting patiently while the 24-year-old former actress’ countless attempts to overcome her addictions to drugs and alcohol. A cynical person might think Wilder was using her for the free publicity, since the movie’s title made an appearance in almost every story about Lohan’s personal decline and disappearing career.

She died last year a lonely, broke, confused and messed up shell of an individual. A total waste.

Ah, but she had her will done on Legal Zoom! Oy...

The best thing about her in that pic....no tats...that’s refreshing in this day and age.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

Colonel - I salute you! That was funny.

[montag813]

What a useless dope. Why is she even a “celebrity”?

[wolfcreek]

But, does she have a *deep* throat?

[mountainbunny]

Linda Lovelace seemed to have had a very sad life. I did see Deep Throat, in college. I guess it must be a generational thing, but apart from it being pornography, I didn't see anything "ground breaking". I walked out partway through - not my cup of tea.

I've read that she was beaten, too. I've also read that at least some of the bruises were the result of a car accident that occurred before the movie. I don't know what the truth is, but I imagine that being in such a movie would be difficult to deal with later in life.

Here is a column written by Joe Bob Briggs about her, written around the time that she died. It mentions Sammy Davis, Jr. http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2002/04/23/Linda-Lovelace-dies-in-car-crash/UPI-54451019598347/ There are no dirty pictures in the article, but some of the subject matter may make it not-safe-for-work. It's difficult to read about such debasement in any event.

As an aside, someone told me that the accident which claimed her life took place on 1-25 just past Monument, Colorado, which is close to my home. I remember when she died, being surprised that she lived so close.

Why is this film being made?

Why is Malin Ackerman going to be in it?

Is she still out to prove she's the least talented successful actress in Hollywood?

[kalee]

So sad.

[adorno]

From all the stories I’ve heard about Lovelace, it’s interesting that no mention is ever made about some other types of porn that she supposedly made, that being concerning beastiality (sex with dogs). I don’t know if it’s true that she ever made that kind of film, but, I remember hearing a rumor about it many years ago. If that’s true, I wonder how they’d work that into a feature film about her life.

You do know that President Nixon saw Deep Throat three times.

[Interesting Times]

That’s an excellent article by Briggs.

[oust the louse]

I just read the article by Briggs. That was well done. I am 50 and grew up in the era that it would have been chic to see this movie but I just never ended up seeing it. Glad I didn’t...I sort of feel like I need to wash just by reading Briggs article.

...a woman that fellated for a living.

I've grown too lazy to reach over for the dictionary, but is "fellated" a verb? I know what it means.

[dfwgator]

I thought she was a cunning linguist.

[Slings and Arrows]

She let it go to her head.

[SnakeDoctor]

I think so ... thought, there are more common colloquial ways to refer to that particular engagement.

[Grizzled Bear]

I was stunned that one woman would not intervene to help another who was claiming abuse.

Human nature, absent from God, is quite ugly.

[Kickass Conservative]

I guess Lindsay left some chrome on the trailer hitch during rehearsal.

[Mr. Silverback]

following her numerous stints in rehab, legal troubles, and generally unreliable behavior.

Marilyn Monroe, anyone?
