Lohan's shot at redemption

"I know what it is to be bad. I've been bad, I know what it is to be lost."
These are the first lines Lindsay Lohan will speak, all things being well, when she makes her West End debut in David Mamet's play Speed-the-Plow at the Playhouse Theatre in London. The part she plays is Karen, a secretary to two Hollywood producers who turns out to be much smarter than she first appears.
The hopes of punters - and everyone involved in the play - is that she won't be "bad" at all; that the star will turn up, know her lines and maybe even pull off a fantastic performance. In short, they're hoping that this will be the big turnaround moment, the point at which Lohan puts her troubled past behind her and reboots her career by reminding everyone she's a talented actor.
At the time of writing, whether she'll pull it off or not still remains to be seen, but history shows it's not easy for Lohan to stay on the straight and narrow. From the ages of 19 to 26, Lohan was caught twice for drunk driving, cocaine use and had six stints in rehab. She even served two weeks in jail after she breaching her parole.
