Lindsay Lohan To Play One Of Charles Manson’s Girls

I wonder if Lindsay Lohan has a thing for celebrity murders. Lohan has already completed “Chapter 27″, a movie about John Lennon’s murderer and now she has been cast to play one of Charlie Manson’s cult followers.

ET reports that Lindsay Lohan will star in the true life crime film, “Manson’s Girls”. Lohan will play Nancy Pitman, a pampered surfer girl who fell under the thrall of Charlie Manson’s “charms”. News of Lohan’s casting hit when the film’s producer, Brad Wyman, told ET.

On August 8th, 1969, Charles Manson directed four members of his ‘Family’ to the home of an absent Roman Polanski and his pregnant girlfriend Sharon Tate. By the morning, Manson’s followers had brutally murdered five people (including Tate). Pitman never took part in the brutal murders of Tate and four other people that night. But, she was eventually charged with being an accessory after the fact and served 18 months. There were even rumors that she returned to the Tate house with Manson after the murders to help plant false evidence.

So far, there isn’t much info about the film, but since the title is “Manson’s Girls” I can only assume that they are going to need to hire a few more gals to fill out the cast. Likely, to take on the roles of Manson devotees Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel, and Linda Kasabian. Not to mention who is going to play the head psycho himself, Charlie?

If done right, “Manson’s Girls” has the potential to be an excellent movie. If not, it could be as bad as Lohan’s “I Know Who Killed Me”.
