Hard times may be coming to a close for Miss Lindsay Lohan as she was spotted dining with famed director Woody Allen in New York City on Saturday night (May 5).

The 25-year-old actress left the Phillippe Restaurant with his wife, Soon-Yi Previn, looking pretty and professional in a white dress topped with a daisy-print coat.

According to TMZ, this isn’t the first time the unlikely pair has wined and dined.

The “Herbie: Fully Loaded” star’s friends say that her and Allen have been friends for years and that he supports and respects the once troubled actress.

There are no projects currently in the works, but sources say that the two are throwing around movie ideas and it’s possible Miss Lohan could star in an Allen film one day. The red-headed beauty said that she would love to work with the four-time Oscar winning director.
