She 71 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: was Lindsay Lohan, tea queen turned underage, a listener. She 72 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: got what she thirsted for when she thirsted for it. 73 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: She could get around the drinking age, but she couldn't 74 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: get around those drunk driving charges, which were about to 75 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 1: smack her harder than the shrubs her Mercedes was racing towards. 76 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: Lindsay had total control of the Mercedes when she left 77 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: late due that night, at least for one moment. It 78 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 1: wasn't long until she lost total control. The curb leaped 79 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: out in front of her. The Mercedes skidded over the 80 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: side of the road. Her foot went down was she 81 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: pressing the brake the gas She peeled straight into a 82 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: neat line of shrubs. Branches snapped the Mercedes tires ripped 83 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: ruts in the grass. Metal peeled off the underbelly of 84 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: the car, a trail debris for tourists to pocket and 85 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: sell online. The next day, Lindsay slammed a heel down 86 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: and managed to catch the brakes, this time just before 87 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,919 Speaker 1: the car massacred any more of a lawn. In the 88 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: first rays of sunlight grazed the scene of the crime. 89 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: Poor judgment was on display, and it was lit up 90 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 1: like a sound stage. Birds chirped, and morning had broken 91 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: so at a car window. Lindsay Lohan was arrested on 92 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: May twenty sixth, two thousand and seven, for suspicion of 93 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: drunk driving and possession of cocaine. The accident should have 94 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: been a frightening five point thirty am wake up call 95 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: for America's sweetheart Instead, she remained metaphorically asleep at the wheel. 96 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: So maybe her second dui, not even two months later, 97 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: would do the trick. On July twenty fourth, two thousand 98 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: and seven, Lindsay was technically a year older, but not 99 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,919 Speaker 1: a year wiser. She sped around Santa Monica in a 100 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: car that wasn't hers or the pocket full of cocaine 101 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: that most definitely was hers. Her second dui, she blew 102 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: two breathalyzer tests point one two and point one three, 103 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 1: well over the legal limit of point oh eight. Double 104 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: the disgrace, double busted. Lindsay left the scene in handcuffs, 105 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: arrested on five counts, this time two counts of driving 106 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: under the influence plus driving with a suspended license, possession 107 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: of cocaine, and transporting a narcotic. This was not the 108 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: Lindsay Lohan headline that America expected up until two thousand 109 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: and seven. Double trouble for Lindsay Lohan meant starring in 110 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: The Parent Trap, her breakthrough movie role from nineteen ninety 111 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: eight rolls plural to be more accurate. Lindsay's co star 112 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: of the Disney remake was herself. She literally acted out 113 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,119 Speaker 1: two separate characters to create the illusion that the leading 114 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: actresses were twins, just like the fifteen year old Hailey 115 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: Mills had done in a previous generation, Lindsay pulled it 116 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: off at only eleven years old. Audiences fell for the spunky, 117 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: freckled redhead. But spunky freckled redhead girls were not supposed 118 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: to get into carres, especially after they climbed behind the 119 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,119 Speaker 1: wheel after drinking all night and blowing lines of coke. 120 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: But even though she was now twenty one years old, 121 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: teen royalty still took a human form in Lindsay Lohan. 122 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: Lindsay Lohan once dominated movie screens, with six feature films 123 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: in only seven years. She modeled for Calvin Klein and 124 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: Ralph Lauren. When she was only three years old. She 125 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: was worth seventeen million dollars by the time she was nineteen. 126 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: Her solo album Speak Now debuted at number four on 127 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: the Billboard two hundred and went platinum, Yes, platinum. She 128 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 1: boasted a handbag collection worth seventy thousand dollars and once 129 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: tore through twenty grand in twenty minutes at a luxury boutique. 130 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: She was such a staple of pop culture that Mattel 131 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: released a limited edition Lindsay Lohan, my scene doll. Lindsay 132 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: never got her own show on the Disney Channel like 133 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 1: fellow child stars Hillary Duff for a Raven Simone, she 134 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: was beyond that. But by the time she starred in 135 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: Freaky Friday alongside Jamie Lee Curtis in two thousand and three, 136 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: her acting chops were on par with her legendary co star. 137 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: The shimmer in her eyes when she giggled, the sass 138 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: packed into her teenage pouts. Lindsay had an arsenal of 139 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: convincing facial expressions on Locke. Audiences believed her when she 140 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: was giddy over a crush. They suspended disbelief when she 141 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: was indignant or remorseful towards her on screen mother. Disney 142 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: wasn't about to waste that kind of talent on the 143 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: silver screen, so the studio secured their favorite raspy redhead 144 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: for two more flicks, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen 145 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: and Herbie Fully Loaded. But in between those squeaky clean 146 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: Disney ventures, Lindsay made the movie that made her a 147 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: true girl of the two thousands and signaled clearly to 148 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: all of her fans that her Disney days would soon 149 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: be behind her, the same movie that remains arguably one 150 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 1: of the most influential comedies since the turn of the century, 151 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: a movie that would continue a lineage of iconic teen 152 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: girl movies like Heathers and Clueless before it.

She let 175 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: her sweetness putrefy into savagery until she was personally victimized 176 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: by her own choices. She nailed the good girl gone 177 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: bad transitions so well, in fact, that she would soon 178 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: find her life imitating her art and the limit did 179 00:11:38,679 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: not exist. The gossip magazines were the first ones to 180 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: point it out. Something was wrong with the August twenty 181 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: ten issue of GQ Germany, the cover story, specifically, it 182 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: all seemed normal at first. Cover girl Lindsay Lohan bassed 183 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: under golden rays of sun, sprawled out in an undisclosed 184 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 1: tropical location that you probably couldn't afford, a guitar carefully 185 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: placed in front of her bare chest and torso to 186 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: keep her modest but something was missing. Lindsay's near nude 187 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 1: photos had readers squinting, but not for the reasons you'd think. 188 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: Fans poured over the camera angles haters called shenanigans. It 189 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: was obviously a photoshop hatchet job. Somehow, the conversation wasn't 190 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: that Lindsay Lohan was wearing nothing but a guitar. There 191 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: was another reason people had their noses wedged. 192 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 3: In that magazine. 193 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: Where the fuck was she hiding that ankle bracelet. Lindsay 194 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 1: Lohan had been sporting her newest accessory all summer, a 195 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: fashion crime that she literally could not part with. The 196 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: leading theory explained that it was tucked somewhere inside her 197 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 1: sweaty ugs. Those woefully out of seasoned shoes served a 198 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: functional purpose, just like the guitar. They worked to hide 199 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: something that most people don't like to share with the 200 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: whole world. Five years earlier, Lindsay Lohan commanded trends with authority. 201 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: In the two thousands, she had the car you wanted. 202 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: She hoarded the designer bags you wanted. If you were 203 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: Hillary Duff, she had the man you wanted. Fans played 204 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: copycat and capped the same hot new accessories right up 205 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: until that hot new accessory was an alcohol detecting device 206 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: secured to her ankle. No one could confirm nor deny 207 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: that Lindsay did, in fact wear the bracelet during the 208 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: GQ Germany photo shoot. They could confirm that it was 209 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: still funny to speculate and mock celebrities and recovery. Lindsay 210 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 1: even took her new accessory in stride and non ironically 211 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: requested stickers from Chanelle to glam up her ankle, And 212 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: when the legendary fashion house failed to brand her bracelet, 213 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: Lindsay found others to deal with the chunky new burden. 214 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: As the balmy Los Angeles summer stretched on, she wore 215 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: long pants but dazzled jumpsuits and tall swede boots, not 216 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:14,359 Speaker 1: exactly warm weather clothing, and everyone knew the reason, so technically, 217 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: the ugg theory was entirely plausible. The irony, of course, 218 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: was that the interview portion of the German GQ profile 219 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: was directly related to why Lindsay had to saunter across 220 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: red carpets with an ankle bracelet to begin with. In 221 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: May of twenty ten, she spilled her distaste for news 222 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: outlets in a candid chat at the Canned Film Festival. 223 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: Her interview with the GQ reporter lamented the media's way 224 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: of meddling in her legal affairs. She spoke these words 225 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: when she legally should have been back in Los Angeles 226 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: in court. Of course, as Lindsay mingled with other movie 227 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: stars into the wee hours at cann she missed a 228 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: vital court date regarding her failure to complete court mandated 229 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: alcohol consoling. Her probation in the court's good great hinged 230 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: upon the lingering requirement for her two DUIs in two 231 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: thousand and seven. According to Lindsay, the reason she was 232 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: still in France was because someone swiped her passport and 233 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: she couldn't get home without it. Whether the culprit was 234 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: a lost passport or excessive partying didn't matter. When Lindsay 235 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: was absent from court on May twentieth, the court released 236 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: a warrant for her arrest and set her bail at 237 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars. Lindsay forked over the hefty fee 238 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: and appeared in court four days later. The gavel came 239 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: down and the gloves came off. From now on, Lindsay 240 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: would be subject to weekly drug tests and a drinking 241 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: ban an alcohol detecting ankle brace that it would keep 242 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: her honest and under surveillance. Under no circumstances could Lindsay 243 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: remove the bracelet, not for movies, not for photo shoots, 244 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: even if it meant she couldn't get new work. Hence 245 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: the whirlpool of rumors surrounding the GQ Germany shoot. At 246 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: the end of May, authorities fitted Lindsay with a secure 247 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: continuous remote alcohol monitor bracelet. 248 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 3: For short. 249 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: Think of it as a breathalyzer test that follows you 250 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: around every day of your life, through good days worth 251 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: toasting to you and bad days worth forgetting with a bottle. 252 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: Instead of breath scram bracelets use perspiration to determine if 253 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: someone has consumed alcohol. As the user cruises through their day, 254 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: the bracelet gathers data about their blood alcohol content using 255 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: their sweat. If the person wearing the bracelet drinks any alcohol, 256 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: the bracelet will go off and alert the manufacturer, and 257 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: that goes for any alcohol anything from mouth wash to 258 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: martiniz could count as a violation of her terms. There 259 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: were other factors to keep in mind, too, ones that 260 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: were harder to avoid than just refraining from a daily 261 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: swish of listerine. Large amounts of water could interfere with 262 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: the bracelet's ability to record perspiration, which would legally be 263 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: considered quote an attempt to defeat unquote the bracelet. You 264 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: had to keep the bracelet dry at all costs. Showers 265 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: where gamble baths were nearly impossible and swimming was off 266 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 1: the table entirely. Tampering with the bracelet was an automatic strike. 267 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: If you attempted to remove the device or manipulate its 268 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 1: ability to detect sweat, for instance slipping a playing card 269 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: in between your ankle and the device. Alcohol monitoring systems 270 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 1: were notified immediately. The ugly black brick attached to Lindsay's 271 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: ankle did her acting career zero favors as well. It 272 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: leached off her sweat and the remnants of her reputation. 273 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: It flagged Lindsay's bad behavior worse though, it made a statement, 274 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: this person has an alcohol problem. This person racked up 275 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 1: to DUIs in case you forgot? Did you already forget? 276 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 1: Unless she could keep her ankles fully covered at all times, 277 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,719 Speaker 1: Lindsay Lohan wouldn't be booking many new roles for the 278 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:47,400 Speaker 1: foreseeable future, but maybe a break from work was exactly 279 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: what Lindsay needed. Since she still had failed to attend 280 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: enough court mandated alcohol countsing sessions, she violated her probation 281 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 1: for the most ridiculous, avoidable reason. The reason that Lindsay 282 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 1: Lohan went to jail wasn't because she was an alcoholic. 283 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: It wasn't because she slipped into the pool by accident 284 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 1: and set off her scram bracelet. She went to jail 285 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: because she couldn't follow through with her court mandated obligations. 286 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,199 Speaker 1: On July sixth, twenty ten, a judge sentenced Lindsay to 287 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: ninety days in jail, thirty days for the first DUI, 288 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: thirty days for the second, thirty days. 289 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 3: For reckless driving. 290 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,400 Speaker 1: Upon her release, she was to report to a rehabilitation 291 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: facility for an additional ninety days. Lindsay sobbed through the sentence, 292 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: the cyclone of chaos whirring around her, slow to a standstill. 293 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 3: Wreckage dropped from the sky. 294 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: The parties, the photoshoots, the clubs, the coke, the gossip 295 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: of the theories, the temptation, and the ugly block glued 296 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 1: to her ankle. She was about to get away from 297 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: it all. The clink of her cell was the loudest 298 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: noise Lindsay heard on July twentieth, twenty ten, when cops 299 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 1: carted her off to her own personal section of Century 300 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: Reachas detention facility in Linwood, California. Out with the ankle bracelet, 301 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 1: in with the prison jumpsuit. On Wednesdays, we wear orange. 302 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: Make that every day we wear orange. As she passed 303 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: the merciless faces of fellow inmates on the way to 304 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: her cell, Lindsay quickly thanked God or whoever was up there, 305 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,360 Speaker 1: that she was impaired with a convicted rapist or murderer. Instead, 306 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 1: the cell made awaiting her was the antagonist tearing apart 307 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: her life. Lindsay was placed in solitary confinement. The mean 308 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: girl tormenting Lindsay Lohan was herself, Lindsay Lohan. There was 309 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: no Regina George, no certified life ruinners to take the blame. 310 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: Lindsay had to face that reality in solitary confinement because, frankly, 311 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 1: there was no one else to face, nothing else to 312 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: distract her from the truth. No bottles, no handbags, no 313 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: club beats pounding on her ear drums, no tempestuous relationship. 314 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 3: With the DJA of the moment, just silence. 315 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 1: Lindsay hadn't heard silence in years, maybe even a decade. 316 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: Silence is a privilege when you shoot six movies in 317 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: seven years. It's even a privilege in rehab, where obligations 318 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 1: come in the form of group therapy. 319 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 3: In private sessions. 320 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 1: Prison might be the only place where Lindsay Lohan couldn't 321 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: famously miss an appointment. It might be the only place 322 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,120 Speaker 1: that could lend her a little perspective too. She made 323 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: peace with her ugly orange jumpsuit. She embraced the silence. 324 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: Then she started counting down the days. 325 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 3: We'll be right back after this. We're We're where. 326 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: Lindsay Lohan didn't have to count for very long. Like 327 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 1: all wealthy superstars, she had a best friend. She could 328 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: count on, someone who was there when the world turned 329 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,400 Speaker 1: its back on her identity that could spring her from 330 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 1: prison with ease. Lindsay's best friend was overcrowding. The detention 331 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,719 Speaker 1: facilities in Los Angeles were supposedly so crammed with criminals 332 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: that Lindsay was always the first candidate to walk free 333 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: and make space for more inmates. 334 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 3: When she went to. 335 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 1: Jail in November of two thousand and seven, for allegedly 336 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: punching a woman in the face after a Justin Bieber concert. 337 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: Overcrowding freed her after a total of eighty four minutes 338 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: on the inside, and again in August of twenty ten, 339 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: when she served just two weeks of her aforementioned ninety 340 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 1: day sentence in solitary confinement. And overcrowding saved her hide 341 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 1: one more time in twenty eleven, when Lindsay's sticky fingers 342 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 1: pocketed a necklace worth twenty five hundred dollars from a 343 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: luxury boutique in Venice, California. The Los Angeles authorities put 344 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: her under house arrests before she had to enter her 345 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:54,880 Speaker 1: prison cell. Overcrowding was Lindsay's get out of jail free card. 346 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 1: It was supposed to make her life easier, But no 347 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: matter how many freebies life handed, Lindsay seemed hellbent on 348 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: making her criminal record as jam packed as the California 349 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 1: prison system. She appeared in court twenty different times between 350 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: two thousand and seven and twenty twelve. A ridiculous amount 351 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 1: of those instances can be attributed to neglecting court mandated obligations, 352 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 1: failure to attend to alcohol consoling sessions, blowing off community service, 353 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: missing hearings. Lindsay's criminal record was overcrowded with this kind 354 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 1: of nonsense, and by twenty eleven she had a hefty 355 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 1: community service tab to settle, four hundred and eighty hours 356 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 1: of community service split between the Los Angeles Downtown Women's Center. 357 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 4: And the County Morgue. 358 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: Lindsay missed the first nine sessions at the Women's Center, 359 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: so the judge took that option off the table, and 360 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: Lindsay Lohan's choices literally put her in the morgue. November 361 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 1: twenty eleven, Lindsay Lohan wrung out her mob once again, 362 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: and the bucket of soapy water had turned a dingy 363 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 1: shade of brown. She plopped them up on the bathroom 364 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 1: floor and sloshed it across the tiles, pushed dirt from 365 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: one side of the room to the other, back and forth. Mindless, 366 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: She stretched out the chore for as long as possible, 367 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: so that maybe, just maybe, her shift would end before 368 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: she got to the ranked task of scrubbing toilets on 369 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: her hands and knees. Her eyes flicked to her watch 370 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:30,160 Speaker 1: one thirty pm. No such luck. Every ounce of glamour 371 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: in Lindsay's life went down the drain when she was 372 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: at the Los Angeles County Morgue. This was her new reality, 373 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: at least twice a week every week, washing windows, collecting trash, 374 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: scrubbing toilets, cleaning the floors. On one occasion, she even 375 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 1: wheeled the body across the building. Whitney Houston's body Lindsay 376 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 1: was hand picked for the emotional assignment, as if only 377 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: celebrities could handle the immense distress of rolling an icon 378 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: to their autopsy. Well that's what Lindsay told Telegraph anyways. 379 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 1: Just like her tendency for missing obligations and writing secret 380 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: fuck us on her fingernails to the photographers in court, 381 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: she had a knack for spewing wild lies too. The 382 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,120 Speaker 1: LA Coroner's Office was quick to clarify that no one 383 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: in the probation program was in contact with Whitney Houston's body, 384 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,679 Speaker 1: No matter what Lindsay Lohan told people, no matter how 385 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 1: she tried to add a little pizazz to her shitty situation, 386 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: she was just there to make the place clean, to 387 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: impress who She. 388 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 3: Had no idea. 389 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:32,919 Speaker 1: It's not like this, as they do not, as if 390 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,439 Speaker 1: the morgue was somewhere people meet up for a good time. 391 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,679 Speaker 1: Lindsay returned the dirty mob to the bucket with a sigh. 392 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 1: Leydu had already bid ad to La. By twenty eleven, 393 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: Lindsay's days of elite ragers on Los Palmas have were done. 394 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: Not that she was even sure she could even get 395 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: an invite anymore. She had gone from it girl to punchline. 396 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 1: As for the club, it shuttered after four years in business. 397 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 1: That's equivalent to like fifty years in Hollywood club time. 398 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 1: It was the end of an era, one that coincidentally 399 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: closed out the peak of tabloid fever and embraced oversharing 400 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: on social media instead. The dirty Odds were dead, dead 401 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 1: as the dozens of people Lindsay tiptoed by every day 402 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,640 Speaker 1: the morgue, the young, the old, the terminally ill. As 403 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 1: they wheeled by her, something underneath those white sheets seemed 404 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: to whisper to her. What if what if you had 405 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: wrapped your Mercedes around a tree? What if your liver 406 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: was a touch less resilient? What if you had overdosed 407 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: on that coke? Hey, what if you cut the shit? 408 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: Something in the morgue spoke to Lindsay Lohan Maybe it 409 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: was the humble nature of the janitorial work. 410 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 4: Maybe it was Whitney Houston's ghosts. 411 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 1: But in a twist that no one could have predicted, 412 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,919 Speaker 1: Lindsay made the Los Angeles County Morgue her priority. She 413 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: dutifully unclogged toilets and logged all her communities service hours 414 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,239 Speaker 1: for the next four months. Nearly five years after her 415 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 1: back to back DUIs, Lindsay's felony probation ended in March 416 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: of twenty twelve. No more ankle bracelets, no more forced 417 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 1: community service, no more trips to court about ancle bracelets 418 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: and force community service. Lindsay Lohan's schedule just opened back up. 419 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: It was time to make movies again. Her fists slammed 420 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: into the first hotel room door. She spotted over and over, 421 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 1: each slam louder than the last. No answer. She potted 422 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,439 Speaker 1: on the neighboring door. Another dot, then another, and then another. 423 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: The guests at the Hotel Orlando weren't going to get 424 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: any shut eye tonight, not if Lindsay Lohan had anything 425 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 1: to say about it. He had to be in here, somewhere. 426 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: She knew it, She could feel it in her gut, 427 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,919 Speaker 1: her fists thundered on every door until she found it 428 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 1: the room of Paul Schrader, director of a new micro 429 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 1: budget film noir called The Canyons, the same film Lindsay 430 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: had just been fired from. Lindsey wailed from the other 431 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 1: side of the door. She pressed her face to the peephole. 432 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 1: Schrader had to see it her way. It was all 433 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,439 Speaker 1: a misunderstanding. She swore she wanted this leading role. She 434 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: was so devoted to this movie that she was up 435 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,199 Speaker 1: until three am the previous night dissecting the script. 436 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 3: How's that for dedication. 437 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: It's just that, you know, she needed a sleeping pill 438 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 1: before bed, and it knocked her out, and she slept 439 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,679 Speaker 1: right through her call time. But was just because she 440 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: was so committed. Paul Schrader saw it differently. He viewed 441 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 1: her absence as proof that Lindsay Lohan was still a flake, 442 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 1: with or without a bottle in her hands. He didn't 443 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: budge from his decision. He didn't even open his door. 444 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: When brute forrest failed her, Lindsay switched to virtual harassment. 445 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 1: She blew up Schrader's phone, and she got her answer 446 00:27:55,160 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: in a single blue message, bubble Lindsey go home. She erupted, 447 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: her sobs seep through the thin walls of the Hotel Orlando, 448 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: and her performance was apparently convincing enough for Paul Schrader 449 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:14,439 Speaker 1: to change his mind and rehire her shortly there after. True, 450 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: she was unreliable, but if you could make Lindsay Land 451 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: show up to set on time, she was outstanding that 452 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: and honestly, her replacement kind of socked in comparison. The 453 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 1: Canyons was supposed to be Lindsay's first serious role in years, 454 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,159 Speaker 1: her first real movie too, nothing goofy like Scary Movie 455 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,120 Speaker 1: five and definitely not made for lifetime TV fodder about 456 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: Miss Taylor. Lindsay longed for another Mean Girls, another Georgia Rule, 457 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: something mature, cheeky even, but definitely not a joke. No 458 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: more playing the role of a punchline. When the producers 459 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: of The Canyons approached her earlier that year, she felt 460 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: like it was two thousand and four all over again. 461 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: Someone wanted her to star in a noir thriller. A 462 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: noir thriller directed by Paul shit the guy who wrote 463 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: Taxi Driver, Raging Bolt, Last Temptation of Christ. He was 464 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:09,719 Speaker 1: Scorsese adjacent. There was potential in this fledgling micro budget flicking. 465 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: She would have been a fool to turn the roll down, 466 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: not just because of the pedigree of people like Paul Schrader, 467 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: but because no one else wanted to hire her. Lindsay 468 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 1: Lohan was a liability few production companies could afford When 469 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: making blockbusters. Businesses purchase insurance policies for their leading actors 470 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: lest they fall ill or worse, die. 471 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 4: And can't complete the movie. 472 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 1: As someone who cycled in and out of court, prison 473 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: in rehab, the cost of Lindsay's policy would have been astronomical, 474 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: but the Canyons didn't have any insurance at all, so 475 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: it wasn't an issue. What the movie did have was 476 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: a budget of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars peanuts, 477 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: and that didn't stop Lindsay from demanding a million bucks 478 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 1: up front. Director of Paul Schrader and the producers came 479 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 1: back with the counter offer one hundred dollars per day 480 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 1: for her three weeks on set, Take or Fuck Off, 481 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: and that number was literally the minimum pay for Screen 482 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: Actors Guild members, plus a share of the prophets, assuming 483 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: there were any. And there was another catch too, Lindsay 484 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: would be contractually obligated to film a four way scene 485 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: with real porn stars completely nude, alongside her co star 486 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: James Dean, who was also a real porn star. Lindsay 487 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: shrugged it off. She was tough, she was capable. More 488 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 1: than anything, she was eager, right up until everyone started disrobing. 489 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 1: Lindsay Lohan couldn't see Paul Schrader, but she could hear him, 490 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:57,719 Speaker 1: and he was pissed. Her body went stiff, frozen with nerves. 491 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: In the closet where she was hiding, hands wandered to 492 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: the belt on her robe. In the darkness, she yanked 493 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 1: on the ends, tightening the knot around her waist, as 494 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 1: if somehow she could make it so snug that the 495 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 1: film crew could never pry it off of her. Lindsay 496 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,959 Speaker 1: knew her delayed tactic could only last so long, and 497 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: the other actors were already stripped down to their birthday suits, 498 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: her co star James Dean, plus two other porn stars 499 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 1: brought in just for the occasion. She hoped the darkness 500 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 1: of the bedroom would hide the two other women. She 501 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 1: hoped the darkness would hide a lot of things. T 502 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: Trader stormed over to the closet, now he was the 503 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 1: one who was screaming from the other side of the door. 504 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 1: She signed the contract, she knew this was coming. Trader 505 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 1: was right, Lindsay was on the hook. It was just 506 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 1: one continuous take, one voyeuristic shot of her naked body 507 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 1: next to other naked bodies pretending to A shiver crawled 508 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 1: up her back. She slowly emerged from the closet, and 509 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: the eyes of the production crew followed her to the 510 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 1: bed and held their breath and waited for her to 511 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 1: drop her robe. 512 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 4: She didn't. 513 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 1: Lindsay sprawled across the bed instead, like a teenage girl 514 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 1: playing Katie Herron and Mean Girls again. She crossed her 515 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: arms defensively and dug her fingers into her robe, and 516 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: as she dawdled, the sky outside lightened. Strader fought the 517 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 1: urge to chuck his clipboard across the set. 518 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 3: They had to shoot the scene at night. 519 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 1: Lindsey had delayed it for so long that daylight was 520 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 1: overtaking the darkness. If they didn't film the scene in 521 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 1: the next hour, they'd have to fork over another day's 522 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: worth of rental fees for the set. This was a 523 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 1: micro budget indie flick. They didn't have that kind of 524 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 1: cash to spare, and Lindsay piped up, she had an idea. 525 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 3: Did they know the Julia Roberts trick? 526 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 1: The crew blinked in response, you know, the one where 527 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: the whole crew gets naked with her for. 528 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 3: A scene so that it's not awkward. 529 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: Not a single person in the room had any clue 530 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 1: what Lindsay was referencing. What movie was she even talking about, 531 00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 1: and why would she want the crew to get naked 532 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: when she could barely stomach her co stars being naked. 533 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 1: Schrader's eyes flicked to the window. The sky was getting lighter. 534 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 1: He didn't have time to weigh the absurdity of Lindsay's so. 535 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 3: Called acting technique. 536 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: He unfastened his belt, unzipped his fly, and let his 537 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: pants drop to the floor, and then his boxers. Lindsay 538 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 1: could hardly believe her eyes. She forgot for a moment 539 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: that this has been her suggestion. The unspoken obligation hung 540 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 1: in the air. It was her turn, either this road 541 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: now or maybe never make another real movie again. Her 542 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: robe collapsed into a pile next to Paul Schrader's pants. 543 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: She bristled when the cool air swept over her body, 544 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: and for the next fourteen minutes. She didn't think about 545 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: anything except the task at hand. Lindsay lohand didn't think 546 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 1: about the task at hand when it was time to 547 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 1: promote The Canyons either. There was one thing that Paul 548 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 1: Schrader forgot to secure within her contract. He never locked 549 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 1: in that she would make herself available for the film's 550 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: publicity campaign. Lindsay gave a verbal promise to him, of course, 551 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,839 Speaker 1: and that was about as valuable as the minimum wage 552 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 1: they paid her. Lindsay even goes to the glamour of 553 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: the Venice Film Festival, where The Canyons debuted on August thirtieth, 554 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:20,799 Speaker 1: twenty thirteen. Schrader shifted the premiere from the Locerno Film Festivals, 555 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 1: specifically to accommodate her schedule. As he later vented to 556 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 1: the press, quote for the last eighteen months, I've been 557 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,880 Speaker 1: a hostage of my own choosing to a very talented 558 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:35,880 Speaker 1: but unpredictable actress unquote. Other directors and studios took notes, 559 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,840 Speaker 1: and nearly ten years would pass before Lindsay got the 560 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 1: chance to take the role in a major film production again. 561 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,319 Speaker 1: Assuming that following for Christmas even makes it onto Netflix's 562 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 1: home screen in late twenty twenty two. The Canyons just 563 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 1: wasn't the narrative that Lindsay Leyan wanted to focus on 564 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen. Instead, she was spinning out of control, 565 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: lost in her own cyclone of chaos again. She was 566 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:05,320 Speaker 1: fresh out of another ninety days in rehab, court mandated rehab. 567 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 1: Of course, the stint was just another line in her 568 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:12,360 Speaker 1: criminal record, one of many infractions in a list so 569 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 1: massive I could fill a modern day burnt book, a 570 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 1: list so massive that it ought to be in pictures. 571 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:43,359 Speaker 1: I'm Jake Brennan and this is hollywood Land.
