Felicity HuffmanFelicity Huffman has said she hopes that Lindsay Lohan’s performance in their new film Georgia Rule will cancel out all the negative stories about the starlet about her behaviour on the set.

Studio executive James G Robinson labelled Lindsay a “spoilt child” over her “irresponsible and unprofessional” behaviour during the making of the film last summer - and more recently Jane Fonda has revealed she had to tell Lindsay off for delaying the production - but Felicity, who plays Lindsay’s mum in the film, hopes those stories will retreat into the background once the movie is released later this month.

The Desperate Housewives star told Parade magazine recently: “Once people see the movie. God willing, the performances will eclipse any gossip.”

“To me, Lindsay was a complete and utter delight. The minute I met her I just loved her. She meets you with an open heart and wide-open eyes and gets right in there. She cares about the work. She throws herself in, 100 percent.”

“I just adored her. She’s fantastic in the movie. It doesn’t get any better than what she did. Brilliant.”
