Lindsay Lohan Biography Filmography Discography

Lindsay Morgan Lohan was born on 2 July 1986 in New York City and raised in Merrick, Long Island, New York. She is the eldest child of Michael and Dina Lohan, both former actors. She has three younger siblings, Michael, Aliana ("Ali") and Dakota ("Cody").
Her father had inherited his family's pasta business, and Lindsay helped him create Denata's Pasta Chips. Michael Lohan later sold the business to trade in futures (briefly becoming President of New York Futures Traders). Lindsay's mother, a former Rockette at Radio City Music Hall, was a Wall Street analyst before settling in as her daughter's manager.

In 2004, it was revealed that Michael Lohan had spent much of Lindsay's preteen years in prison for securities fraud. In 2005, he was sent back to prison for unlicensed driving and attempted assault. In 2005, he was sent back to prison for unlicensed driving and attempted assault.

Later that year, Lindsay's parents settled their divorce case; Dina's attorney said she "and the children are delighted that this chapter in their life is over", while Michael's attorney said he "looks forward to rebuilding his relationship with his children".

Lindsay began her career with Ford Models at age three and, at a time when blue-eyed blondes were in highest demand.
She also modeled for Calvin Klein Kids (usually with siblings Michael and Ali) and Abercrombie Kids. Through young adulthood, Lohan was featured in such diverse magazines as Vogue, Elle, Bliss (UK), and Blenda (Japan).

Lindsay's commercials led to soap operas, and she was already considered a show-business "veteran" when she spent several months in 1996 and 1997 as Allison "Alli" Fowler on Another World, "where she delivered more dialogue than any other 10-year-old in a daytime series."
She gave up Another World for the big screen when Nancy Meyers cast her as estranged twin sisters who try to reunite their long-divorced parents (Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson) in The Parent Trap (1998).

Lindsay auditioned for—and won—the lead teen role in another Disney remake. Freaky Friday (2003) starred Jamie Lee Curtis and Lohan as a mother and daughter who each get trapped in the other's body. The film was a commercial success, grossing over US$110 million domestically, and US$160 million worldwide.

Lindsay was given the lead in two films, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (her first Disney feature that was not a remake) and Paramount's Mean Girls, both released in 2004. However, Mean Girls—her first PG-13 (and first non-Disney) film—is considered her breakout role; the critical and commercial hit grossed over US$86 million (US$129 million worldwide), "cementing her status as the new teen movie queen," wrote Brandon Gray.

She returned to Disney for Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005), the fifth film in the long-dormant Herbie series.

In December, 2005, her second album, A Little More Personal (Raw), debuted at #20 on the Billboard 200 chart, but fell under the top 100 within six weeks.
