Teen beauty Lindsay Lohan will need to tone down her usual Hollywood glamour to play a down-home prairie girl in a movie about a small-town country music station.

According to "The Insider," the 'Mean Girls' star has been cast in 'A Prairie Home Companion,' as the daughter of one of Hollywood's most legendary actresses, Meryl Streep.

The upcoming Robert Altman project is expected to begin filming in April. Country music favorites Lyle Lovett and Tom Waits will play singers in the movie, while renowned author Garrison Keillor, who wrote the screenplay, also joins the cast.

--Hold up--Lindsay Lohan and Meryl together? I'm not seeing it.

Well, Altman is famed for his ability to pull a great performance out just about any actress.

They didn't give Sally Field a chance either. But I am only giving Lindsey this one.
