    Lindsay Lohan lands in Venice to help promote film on the aftermath of the RFK assassination.

(AP)  Lindsay Lohan says she hates her reputation as a party girl.

"I'm 20 years old. Is it a crime to go ... dancing with your friends?" the actress said Tuesday on "The Oprah Winfrey Show."

Lohan said she was "lucky and blessed" to be able to act.

"I've been acting my whole life and this is what I love to do," said Lohan, whose screen credits include "The Parent Trap," "Freaky Friday," "A Prairie Home Companion" and the upcoming "Bobby," about the 1968 assassination of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.

A Quote

"I'm 20 years old. Is it a crime to go ... dancing with your friends?"

Lindsay Lohan
Emilio Estevez, who directed the movie, told Winfrey that Lohan was a professional on the set, showed up on time and turned in "the best work of her life."

The media focuses on allegations of wild-child behavior "because it sells," Estevez said. "I'd rather have them focus on how extraordinary she is in this film," he said.

"Bobby," set for release Nov. 23, has an ensemble cast that also includes Demi Moore, Sharon Stone, Anthony Hopkins and Laurence Fishburne.

In July, James G. Robinson, chief executive officer of Morgan Creek Productions, chided Lohan in a letter for her behavior on the set of "Georgia Rule" and doubted her absence was related to heat exhaustion.

"We are well aware that your ongoing all-night, heavy partying is the real reason for your so-called 'exhaustion,"' he wrote.

I care. She's fun to watch. It's the corporate bimbos who live off girls like this that get my goat.

How can you watch a movie like "Mean Girls" and not get a kick out this kid who is making millions for others and the glorious US econcomy. She's been so type-cast that hopefully a movie like Bobby will give her a chance to grow up in spite of Disney's efforts to keep her a teen until she's 30 and then dump her like they've done so many times before to other young actresses.

So you didn't even like "Herbie Fully Loaded" com'on don't be an old stinky shoe about it!
