Lindsay Lohan wanted to play Regina George in Mean Girls

Lindsay Lohan was the newest star in Vogue’s Life in Looks series, and she was one of the more self-critical actresses. While Sarah Jessica Parker made a point of honoring every version of herself and the choices Sarah Jessica made, Lohan just winced at the whole Juicy Couture. Lohan also reflected on her previous roles and what role nail polish played in each one. Hallie in The Parent Trap NEEDED Hard Candy’s iconic ice blue, it was crucial. While discussing Mean Girls, Lohan said she originally wanted to play Regina and not Cady. “I wanted to play Regina because I just got off Freaky Friday, and I really wanted to play a pretty, normal girl now,” she said. “I wanted to have a different role than just ‘damaged teenager.'” Interesting that Lohan found Cady more ‘damaged’ than Regina, who turns the whole school into an animalistic cloak of hell because of her sublimated anger issues. “Mark Waters, the director, insisted that I play Cady and so did Tina. They said, ‘Nonono, you’re the lovable one. You have to play Cady.” Lohan finally saw the light, but was really excited when Cady got to dress more glamorously. The insistence on glamor is a common thread throughout Lohan’s “Life in Looks.” She explained that while hosting the 2004 MTV Movie Awards, she requested more costume changes than SJP did in 2000. Okay, but none of Lohan’s costumes included soldiers hiding under her dress.
