Lindsay is just one of many in the long line of people being thrust into the celebrity limelight at a young age and suffering the consequences of celebrity. We've seen this before in countless names, ie Michael Jackson and Gary Coleman. There are those who manage to have successful lives, like Ron Howard who was Opie on The Andy Griffith Show and is now a successful director. It's worth noting that Howard had a comfortable living situation as a child, in contrast to the others who had abusive families, monetary disputes, etc.
