Pan left to right of Travolta, Victoria Gotti, Carmine Gotti Agnello, John Gotti Agnello, Lohan and Frank Gotti • STORYLINE • LINDSAY LOHAN TO PLAY JUNIOR GOTTI'S WIFE IN FILM • Lindsay Lohan is joining the big screen Gotti family as Kim, the wife of John Gotti Jr. in a biopic of one of New York's most infamous families. • She called her casting in Gotti: Three Generations a huge honor and told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the film is an opportunity to prove herself as an actress again. • John Travolta has been cast to play John Gotti Sr., the mob family's patriarch who had a flair for style and a knack for avoiding convictions that earned him the name Teflon Don. Joe Pesci will play one of his deputies. • Lohan made a surprise appearance at a press conference last week and was expected to be in the running to play the elder Gotti's daughter, Victoria. By Wednesday discussions for Lohan playing that role had ended, but the actress successfully lobbied to remain on the project. • Like the Gotti family, Lohan is no stranger to criminal troubles. She faces a felony grand theft case in Los Angeles after a jewelry store accused her of stealing a $2,500 necklace, and is due in court for a hearing on Friday. • She has rejected two plea deals in that case with guaranteed jail time, and could be incarcerated for violating her probation on a 2007 drunken driving case. • Fiore Films is making a commitment to Lohan, who is a former Disney child star and once headlined films, but for nearly four years has been known more for making the tabloids than acting. • In addition to the Gotti project, Lohan will also appear in Mob Street, a movie based on a screenplay by Chazz Palminteri. • • Find out more about AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/HowWeWork • Twitter: / ap_archive • Facebook: / aparchives • Instagram: / apnews • • • You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/you...
