Lindsay Lohan was on a mission to become the epitome of a Plastic on the set of "Mean Girls," and it seems she couldn't wait to embrace the iconic look. According to the tell-all book "So Fetch: The Making of 'Mean Girls' (and Why We're Still So Obsessed With It)" by Jennifer Keishin Armstrong, released this Tuesday, Lohan's enthusiasm even got her in a bit of trouble.
In Chapter five of the book, which delves into the behind-the-scenes magic of the 2004 hit movie, we get a peek into the transformations the stars underwent to embody the Plastics. Lohan, playing Cady Heron, a homeschooled teen turned Plastic, was apparently so eager to ditch her character's plaid shirts and ponytail for the glamorous Plastic look that she couldn't resist sneaking off to curl her hair.
The book reveals that the film's director, Mark Waters, was quite particular about the hairstyles, and hairstylist Carol Hartwick was always on hand to make adjustments. Lohan's eagerness to fast-track Cady's transformation led to some humorous clashes with Waters. The director, in an attempt to maintain continuity, fought to stop Lohan from curling her hair too early in Cady's evolution.
Waters, explaining the importance of keeping Cady's hair straight and simple until the appropriate moment in the movie, found himself dealing with a determined Lohan. The book recounts a memorable incident where they shot half a scene with Cady's hair as planned, only for Lohan to disappear during lunch and return with her hair beautifully curled.
Waters, faced with the unexpected change, managed to keep his cool, asking Lohan, "What are you doing? We can't shoot the scene with your hair curled. We already shot half without it." Despite the hiccup, Waters acknowledged Lohan's energy and charm, stating, "She is watchable but she's also a handful. The movie wouldn't be successful without that energy."
The design reflects professionalism.
