Lindsay Lohan Published An Essay About 9/11, Plenty of Other Things, to Instagram
LatestOn Sunday, September 13, 2015, actress and wedding guest Lindsay Lohan published a 248-word essay on Instagram about the events of Tuesday, September 11, 2001.

In his classic contribution to The Lion King “The Circle of Life,” Sir Elton John sang, “There’s far too much to take in here, more to find than can ever be found.”
