Lindsay Lohan has
"disappointed" Barbara Walters by pulling out of their scheduled
interview.
The Liz & Dick
actress was due to chat to the talk show host about her latest movie, but
cancelled before agreeing to an interview with Jay Leno on The Tonight Show and
Barbara is unhappy at being ditched.
Speaking on The
View, she said: "[I was told] 'Lindsay doesn't feel up to it.' Well, I
mean, she has a lot of problems, and it was just one more. I said, 'Poor girl,
I hope when she feels like it, she will do it with us.'
"If they'd
said to me 'You know, Barbara, she isn't up to the kinds of questions that you
might ask', I wouldn't feel quite as disappointed as I do today.

'upset'
"As far as
Jay goes, I love Jay. More power to him. I think I would have helped her. I
think to go on Jay Leno and be adorable and amusing, there's still all the
problems with her."
Barbara revealed
one of the reasons she is so upset is because she and Lindsay, 26, have know
each other for years and they had already completed part of the interview on
the set of Liz & Dick.
"I like
Lindsay Lohan very much. I've known her for years since she was a very little
girl. She said whenever she did an interview, she would sit down and do it with
me," Barbara added.
"Even then,
the producers were a little worried about whether or not she would be able to
finish the film. When I saw her, she was in very good shape. We were supposed
do the major interview last week. We were very excited about it. I spent a lot
of time, doing a lot of homework, watching the actual movie... and then her
longtime press agent resigned. That should have been a clue."
