Felicity Huffman praises Lindsay Lohan

Felicity Huffman has lavished praise on Lindsay Lohan, hailing the 20-year-old actress a "complete and utter delight".

The Desperate Housewives star was blown away by Lohan's performance in their upcoming movie Georgia Rule.

She told Parade: "Once people see the movie, god willing, the performances will eclipse any gossip.

"To me, Lindsay was a complete and utter delight. The minute I met her I just loved her. She meets you with an open heart and wide-open eyes and gets right in there. She cares about the work.

"I just adored her. She's fantastic in the movie. It doesn't get any better than what she did. Brilliant."

However, James G. Robinson, CEO of Georgia Rule's producers Morgan Creek, blasted Lohan last year for taking "irresponsible and unprofessional" absences from the film's set.
