(CBS/AP) LOS ANGELES - Can it be?

Is Lindsay Lohan in the home stretch of completing her probation?

Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner told Lohan on Wednesday that she seems to be getting her life back on track. That means she may need just one more trip back to court.

The actress appeared in court under strict guidelines imposed last year by Sautner that require the actress to work each week at the morgue and attend therapy sessions, which Lohan has done successfully so far.

She is due back in court on March 29 after which her formal probation could be terminated.

The probation stems from two drunk driving convictions she received five years ago and has involved dozens of trips to court and even some jail time.

Lohan will continue to be on probation for last year's necklace theft conviction, but Judge Sautner said it becomes informal summary probation with no reporting requirements.

Lohan's, meanwhile, continues to try to mount a career comeback. She is scheduled to host "Saturday Night Live" on March 3 and is being considered for an Elizabeth Taylor biopic.
