Lindsay skips memorial of ‘father figure’; parties instead
Robert Altman and Lindsay Lohan
Once again, Lindsay Lohan has managed to get people talking with her questionable antics. Last week she shocked everyone when she failed to attend the memorial of director Robert Altman, the seven time Academy Award nominee and winner of the Lifetime Achievement Oscar Award last year. Lindsay has previously said that Robert was like a father figure to her so it was surprising that she didn’t make an appearance. What makes her no-show worse is that a report by Starpulse confirms that the actress chose to go partying in Los Angeles with Steve-O, the star of Jackass, instead of paying her respects to the man who she was extremely close to.
Robert directed Lindsay in the movie, A Prairie Home Companion. After the news of his death (he died from complications relating to cancer and had been battling with the disease for a year and a half), Lindsay was devastated and shocked. According to a report by E! Online, at the time she expressed her emotions by saying, “I feel as if I’ve just had the wind knocked out of me and my heart aches. I learned so much from Altman and he was the closest thing to my father and grandfather that I really do believe I’ve had in several years.â€?
