How was Drew able to have a 'legit' adult career unlike Lindsay Lohan?


Considering that they pretty much had similar mothers:

Mother was like Lindsay Lohan's mother - promiscuous, used Drew for money,and didn't show her love. Drew started doing drugs at about 9 and had s___x at about the age of 10 or 11. Her mother was constantly doing stuff to embarrass her; she had no guidance in his life growing up.

Because she cleaned up her act before she could go downhill. The only headlines I hear about her now is her movies, her marriage, and her kids. :)

Drew’s parents ruined her, her mother was a mess and treated her child as a best friend, took her places no child should have ever been, it’s the only job in America, were a child can have a full time job.

Good breeding obviously. Blue blood.

Come on guys she's only 39, not 59. She's not a kid anymore like the 80s and 90s, but she's hardly old. And this thread was created a few years ago when she was 34 or 35, which makes it even worse.

reply

Why are you dismissing Lohan as if she's retired? And Lohan does have an adult career, just a few of her films haven't fared very well.

reply

As long as we was on drugs, Drew had no career either.

Lohans main problem is she's doing it when she really ought to have concentrated on her career, AND she combines it with cheap attempts to get more attention.

According to what I have read and heard on TV interviews from Drew in the past, she went through a lit during her rebellious teen years. She was drinking alcohol as early as 8 yrs old then doing drugs I her early teens. She started to clear her act up when she lived with David Crosby (Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young) and his wife for a year. She most probably got a dose of reality during that time.

Today's society allows people to be messed up celebrities and still make a living because they're all morons who have no shame or dignity about watching a train wreck and people exploit this by paying her for appearances.

Actually both Drew Barrymore and Lindsay Lohan are pretty talented and I'm sorry, but actors of all times had less than saintlike lives, consistently, throughout history.

As did many other artists.
