Lindsay Lohan: primed for a comeback that could be her last

'PUT YOUR HEAD DOWN'

Lohan, who will also be the subject of a reality series on Winfrey's OWN cable network next year, is required to attend weekly therapy sessions over the next 15 months to comply with a court order for a reckless driving charge.

"I actually think it's very much within her power to reclaim her career," said Allan Mayer, a Hollywood crisis manager who has had clients such as actor Tom Cruise and singer R. Kelly.

"The way you do that doesn't involve any smoke and mirrors or no spin doctoring or anything like that. It's really a question of just what she seems to be doing right now, which is you put your head down and do your work."

The media discourse about Lohan as Hollywood's untamed wild child who partied away a promising career is primed to shift back in her favor and toward public redemption, Mayer said.

"We won't change our minds arbitrarily," he said. "But if someone can come along and give us a good solid reason to change our mind, to think differently about something we've been told the same thing about over and over again, we'll grab at it."

While reviews for "The Canyons" have been generally negative, critics have praised Lohan's performance as the jaded actress Tara, who finds herself in the crosshairs of her jealous boyfriend's psychological manipulation. Variety's Scott Foundas praised Lohan's "raw conviction" and her "uncanny conflagration of drama and autobiography."
