Lohan seems to be all excited about the release of her forthcoming movie Bobby that dates back to the time when Robert F Kennedy was assassinated. Its a story of 22 people who were at the Ambassador Hotel for various reasons on the day Kennedy was murdered by Sirhan Sirhan.

42Lohan’s character Diane is based on a woman Estevez met while pounding out the script for Bobby. Suffering from a case of writer’s block, Estevez checked himself into a hotel on the coast in Central California. The desk clerk at the hotel recognized him, asked him what he was working on, and then proceeded to tell him she was a Kennedy volunteer who was at the Ambassador hotel on June 4, 1968. Estevez turned her personal story into the character played by Lohan, a young woman who marries a friend from high school to keep him out of Vietnam.

Lohan to get into her character had to talk to her grandma, she says, “I spoke to my grandmother, but I didn’t know half of the things that I know now.”

Lohan did it because of Estevez and Kennedy, but also as a way of introducing her young fan base to an important event in American history.

“It was also nice for me to have an opportunity to kind of take on the role of someone who, for my generation, for the young girls that I accumulated, I can kind of put a message into awareness out there to what’s going on in the character. My sister I actually brought to the set… She didn’t know who Bobby Kennedy was and she learned so much from being there. She went home and she did say stuff to her friends, and I think it’s important,” she said.

Lohan’s sister, who will be 13 in December, is close in age to a lot of Lohan’s fans. If her sister and other fans understand the message and learn from the film, then Lohan feels she’s done something worthwhile. Lohan said,

“I think it’s important for me to use my celebrity status or what it’s become, in a positive way, whether it’s through characters or through being with a cast of amazing people that I learned from and just putting it out there.”

Looks like baby Lindsay is growing up…What say?
