A few days ago the troubled actress Lindsay Lohan appeared on the David Letterman show. It was an opportunity that both individuals hoped would benefit each other: Lohan, about to enter rehabilitation therapy sought to salvage her image and demonstrate her remorse and understanding of her predicament, while Letterman saw this as opportunity to remain relevant in the late-night talk show battle field.
I was not a fan of Lindsay Lohan, but it was clear that Letterman had invited her to the show to speak about her new movie "Scary Movie 5" (no, Kevin Costner did not make another movie, thankfully!), but turned the tables on her by aggressively harping on her troubles and her therapy. It was surprising how he would not let up, but Lohan impressed me with her demeanor and sense of humor, trying to remain positive despite Letterman's attempts to antagonize her with insinuations and barbs. She was classy and I saw a vulnerable young lady in trouble trying to get her life in order. I was touched when toward the end of the segment Letterman complimented her for "having a spine, having a good sense of yourself and having poise to come here and talk to me." She was clearly affected by the compliment and fought back tears. It is amazing how a few nice words can affect someone. We need to do it more often.
