Just about a month ago, Lindsay Lohan told Paper Magazine she
"want[ed] to find a great script, a great role....Now I know what it's like to be an out-of-work actor, and how much it scares me."
Looks like LiLo better get her agent's check in the mail, because voila! Girl's got a movie! She's going to be playing Nancy Pitman, aka Brenda, in the upcoming film Manson Girls.
Brenda joined Charles Manson's cult when she was 16 and became one of his most devoted followers. She was home with Manson the night that other members of "The Family" killed Sharon Tate and four other people. While she did not directly participate in that infamous murder, she is believed to have helped Manson remove evidence afterwards; she served 18 months in prison as for accessory (after the fact). She must have been attracted to cults in general because she later joined the Aryan Brotherhood.
Manson Girls is being made by producer Brad Wyman and (if IMDB is to be believed) writer Matthew Bright. While Wyman's Hollywood pedigree is pretty solid (he produced Monster, which won Charlize Theron an Oscar), Bright's is full of slashers and violent sci-fi/fantasy films.
I guess LiLo's fear of being an out of work actor was greater than her desire for a "great" script...
This is nuts. Is the cult making a comeback? First Lindsay, next that creep releases an album from jail
