In the new film Bobby about a group of diverse people at the Ambassador Hotel in L.A. when Presidential candidate Robert Kennedy was assassinated in 1968, 20-year-old Lindsay Lohan plays a serious role as a teen marrying a high school friend to keep him from being drafted and sent to Vietnam. Elijah Wood plays the "friend" and their relationship blossoms into something more.

We chatted briefly with Lindsay, Elijah and superstar Sharon Stone with whom Lindsay has a touching scene in the film. Lindsay was honored to be in the movie and learned a lot about the 1960's for the role. The actress may be a magnet for car crashes but, on screen, she's just magnetic as a hopeful young woman in the midst of chaos. Check it out...

TeenHollywood: Elijah and Lindsay, you two weren't around during this time period so did you talk to anyone like family members or friends about their experiences or did you do any research for the role?

Lindsay: Well Emilio played a lot of Bobby Kennedy's speech throughout the film and we had that there. I spoke to my grandmother, but I didn't know half of the things that I know now.

Elijah: I also watched a lot of documentaries as well. Emilio [Estevez, the director] was really forthcoming to the cast with documentary material, the speech from the ballroom that night just to kind of familiarize himself with the [Bobby Kennedy] legacy who this man was and what the event was to really get into the mind space of that time so it was very valuable.
