    A documentary called "Chicago 10" kicks off the film fest that was founded by Robert Redford.

(CBS)  Lindsay Lohan has a new supporter: actress Gwyneth Paltrow.

"My prediction is that Lindsay Lohan, she'll figure it out," the Academy Award winning actress told Entertainment Tonight. "It's really, really hard to be so young and so in the public eye and I think it's very confusing."

Lohan checked herself into the exclusive Wonderland Center in West Hollywood for addiction treatment last week. Cameras have followed her on outings from the center, including one to visit her doctor, and another time to make a stop at her apartment building.

Paltrow, 34, has had to deal with her share of paparazzi over the years, having had high-profile romances with several celebrities, including Brad Pitt.

"It's hard to be that out there and, you know, when everybody's analyzing everything you do, and she's ... very young," she said.

Paltrow said she felt that Lohan is very talented and will have a good career.

Lohan is expected to be back on the set of the thriller "I Know Who Shot Me" on Friday, but will return to Wonderland in the evenings.

The daughter of film and television director Bruce Paltrow and actress Blythe Danner, Paltrow said her parents would never have allowed her to go through her rebellious years in public.

"My parents would have killed me if I didn't do it behind closed doors," she said.

Paltrow is at the Sundance Film Festival this week to promote her film "The Good Knights" which co-stars Penelope Cruz. Her brother, Jake Paltrow directed the film.

She's been married to musican Chris Martin, 29, since Dec. 2003. The couple have a two-year-old daughter, Apple, and an infant son Moses, born April 8, 2006.
