Lindsay Lohan on being categorised for certain roles
While talking to The Times U.K. about her recent roles in the film industry, Lohan expressed her disdain over being pushed into stereotypical roles and how she is not given a chance despite how she has proven herself time and time again.
She shared, 'I was so thrilled to work on 'A Prairie Home Companion', and yet even today I have to fight for stuff that is like that, which is frustrating.
