She may be a fabulous celebrity living in glamourous Hollywood, but Lindsay Lohan recently revealed in an interview her dirty secret -- she's a hoarder!
While La Lohan's "hoarding" may be a result of just too much stuff ... when does collecting cross the line into mental illness? In one mom's case, it was when hoarding got so bad she was literally pushed out of her house and living homeless.
Meet Cynthia Lester, a documentary filmmaker whose mother, Eugenia, suffers from obsessive hoarding disorder. At her worst, her mother was so bad that she was living in her garden because she couldn't get into her house anymore. When the city threatened to take her mom's home away, Cynthia and her brothers stepped in. Cynthia actually documented everything in her documentary "My Mother's Garden" -- and what happened next was something no one expected. She captured it all on film.
