A special delivery from the Vanity Fair Archive View in your browser | Update your preferences     From a 1963 manhunt to Princess Diana's tragic relationship with the press, stay busy this weekend with five reads from the Vanity Fair Archive.   Confessions of a Teenage Movie Queen Bulimia, drugs, the hideous battle between her violent father and comanager mother—for two years Lindsay Lohan was in a tabloid-fodder spiral. Somehow, though, she emerged as a star. In an interview full of new headlines, Lohan tells Evgenia Peretz about her near self-destruction and the emotional breakthrough that resulted in her hit song, "Confessions of a Broken Heart."
