Looks like Lindsay Lohan isn’t the only one suffering from exhaustion on the set of Liz & Dick. As reported on Friday, Lindsay suffered a bout of exhaustion after working a series of long days on the film in Marina Del Ray, CA. According to Deadline, two production members from the hair department have now also gone to the hospital for “severe dehydration and exhaustion” yesterday. It is alleged that the entire crew has been working 20+ hours a day.
For those unfamiliar with the ongoing saga, Lohan is starring as Elizabeth Taylor in a film for Lifetime chronicling her relationship with Richard Burton (played by Grant Bowler).
Many say Lohan’s comeback rides on her success in this film, and she took to Twitter to clarify her own exhaustion story Friday, tweeting “Note to self… After working 85hours in 4days, and being up all night shooting, be very aware that you might pass out from exhaustion & 7 paramedics MIGHT show up @ your door.” And yes, apparently that is exactly what will happen!
The question remains: why are people dropping like flies on this set? Seems like the pressure isn’t only on Lohan for this film to be a success.
Do you think Lifetime-helmed film is working its crew too hard?
