"It's eerie," Lohan said of the painting, a Christmas gift, "because it's this picture of her, and it's kind of cartoony, and there's a big bottle of pills next to her, and they've fallen over." Lohan called Monroe's suicide "tragic," and then added, elliptically, "You know, it's also tragic what just recently happened to someone else." I asked whether she was referring to Heath Ledger. She nodded: "They are both prime examples of what this industry can do to someone." Why some and not others, I asked, since it has often seemed that the thrice-rehabbed Lohan might meet a similar fate. Lohan replied with a flicker of annoyance: "I don't know. I'm not them. But I sure as hell wouldn't let it happen to me."
