Rising star Lindsay Lohan and Oscar winner Meryl Streep became so close while filming A Prairie Home Companion together that Meryl, 56, has volunteered to become her Hollywood mentor, sources say. But nervous Lindsay, 19, may be too skittish to take her up on the unbelievable offer.
"Lindsay's been told Meryl offered to mentor her — and she should take advantage of it," a friend of Lindsay tells Star People. "But Lindsay is just like, 'Oh, she probably doesn't want to deal with me.' I think she's just a little starstruck. Lindsay's just so in awe of Meryl."
Meryl, who has three daughters — including Grace, who is Lindsay's age — made a big impression on Lindsay by treating her like the teenager she is and not a starlet, as most people do, the friend says. And to underscore their closeness, Meryl, who plays Lindsay's mom in the upcoming movie, gave Lindsay her phone number and told her to feel free to call when she wants to talk — but Lindsay lost it and has felt awkward asking for it again. "I don't know if she would have gotten up the nerve to call her even if she hadn't lost Meryl's phone number," the friend sighs.
