Lindsay Lohan was terrified of playing an overtly sexual female in her new film. The actress struggled to play Rachel, a disturbed young girl who tries to seduce her stepfather, in
Georgia Rule. Lindsay said, "I was really nervous when I had the scene where I had to be sexual and provocative. I was terrified. I cried so much when we wrapped. I haven't been able to go where Rachel goes in a movie." Her character is sexually abused in the movie, and her co-star Jane Fonda found it hard to watch. Jane said, "I get so emotional when I see this movie, because I work with girls who have been abused. And I know how the abuse makes them act out."
