And according to entertainment website TMZ.com, Victoria herself made sure she landed the role.
Sources have said that producers were considering both Miller, 29, and Lively, 23, for the part but John Gotti's daughter insisted Lindsay, 24, get the role instead.
It doesn't come as too much of a surprise as Victoria is reportedly a good friend of the Lohan family.
In 1992, Gotti, who died in 2002, was convicted of five murders, conspiracy to commit murder, obstruction of justice, illegal gambling, racketeering, tax evasion, extortion, and loansharking and was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
