Lindsay Lohan in a publicity photo for A Little More Personal (Raw) Lindsay Morgan Lohan (born July 2, 1986) is an American actress and pop music singer. Lohan was born in New York City and raised in Cold Spring Harbor, New York. By 2005, she was splitting her time between her family's home and her residence in Beverly Hills, California.

She later worked for Calvin Klein Kids and Abercrombie Kids. Lohan has been featured in such diverse magazines as Vogue, Elle, Bliss (UK), Хай Клуб ("High Club", Bulgaria), and Blenda (Japan). Television As a child, Lohan appeared in more than 60 commercials, was a regular on soap operas such as Guiding Light and As The World Turns, and spent several months as Allison "Alli" Fowler on Another World, "where she delivered more dialogue than any other 10-year-old in a daytime series." [1] Lindsay also appeared on Healthy Kids with Dina Lohan, her mother and business manager. As a teen, Lohan starred in two Disney Channel original movies, Life-Size and Get a Clue. She also played Bette Midler's daughter in the first episode of the short-lived series Bette before bowing out when the production moved from New York to Los Angeles. In 2003, Lohan was Punk'd by Ashton Kutcher. Kutcher played a practical joke on Lohan, making her believe a vehicle had been stolen. (It was later revealed that the frustrated "limousine driver" who missed the birth of his "child" was really an actor.) On November 8, 2004, Lohan made a much-publicized cameo appearance on That '70s Show, playing Danielle opposite Kelso (Kutcher) and Fez (then-boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama). Lohan has hosted Saturday Night Live twice. Film Lohan gave up her role on Another World when Nancy Meyers cast her as estranged twin sisters who meet each other at a summer camp in The Parent Trap (1998). The Disney remake co-starred Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson and introduced Lohan to a wider audience. New York Times film critic Janet Maslin said Lohan (at age 11) "plays the dual role with apparent effortlessness and with so much forcefulness that she seems to have been taking 'shy violet' lessons from Sharon Stone." [2] Her next feature was another family film, Freaky Friday (2003), starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lohan as a mother and daughter who find themselves trapped in the other's bodies. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun Times wrote that Lohan "has that Jodie Foster sort of seriousness and intent focus beneath her teenage persona." [3]. The film was also a huge commercial success. [4] Amanda Seyfried, Lohan and Lacey Chabert (l-r) in Mean Girls (2004). Lohan was given the lead in two films: Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (Disney's first non-remake involving Lohan) and Paramount's Mean Girls, both of which were released in 2004. Drama Queen was only a moderate success at the box office; reviews of the film were dismal, though Lohan's performance fared better with critics. 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 domestically on little more than Lohan's name and a script by Tina Fey. Box office analyst Brandon Gray said the film "cement[s] her status as the new teen movie queen." In 2005, Lohan starred in Herbie: Fully Loaded, the fifth film in Walt Disney Pictures' long-dormant Herbie series. Entertainment media claimed Lohan's breasts were "digitally reduced" so family audiences would not be offended by Fully Loaded, but Director Angela Robinson and Lohan both strongly denied the rumor. [5] Lohan's next film, Just My Luck, is set for release in March, 2006. In July, 2005, she finished work on A Prairie Home Companion (due out in the summer of 2006), an independent film directed by Robert Altman. By December, 2005, Lohan was shooting the independent Emilio Estevez film Bobby, opposite Elijah Wood. The month before, Variety also reported her involvement in Chapter 27 with Jared Leto. [6] Music In 2002, Lohan signed a five-album production deal with record producer Emilio Estefan. For the 2003 Freaky Friday soundtrack, she performed the theme song, "Ultimate". The next year, she recorded four songs for the Drama Queen soundtrack, including the film's theme, "Drama Queen (That Girl)". In 2004, Lohan signed a recording contract with Casablanca Records and well-known "diva-maker" Tommy Mottola. Her debut album, Speak, was issued on December 7, 2004, and reached #4 on the US Billboard 200 and the top ten on the Canadian album chart. By early 2005, it was certified platinum. Speak's lead single, "Rumors", was a strong digital seller and eventually earned a gold certification; its sexually-suggestive video reached #1 on MTV's TRL and was nominated for Best Pop Video at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards. However, the song, as well as follow-up singles "Over" and "First" (the latter featured on the Herbie: Fully Loaded soundtrack), saw only moderate sales. The album also was a critical failure, dismissed by many reviewers as merely a way to cash in on Lohan's popularity among tweens and teens. By late 2005, Lohan had begun work on a second album, A Little More Personal (Raw), released on December 6, 2005. Its first single, "Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)", premiered on AOL's "First Listen" on September 30, 2005. The accompanying music video [7] was directed by Lohan, and features her sister, Aliana. The graphic video expresses the pain Lohan says her family has suffered at the hands of her father. Nevertheless, Lohan hopes "he'll see what I say in the song is, 'I love you,' so many times, that I need him and the crazy things in my life. I hope he sees the positive side of the video rather than the negative. The video is kind of offensive, but it is very raw." In the media spotlight Entertainment media claim there is some animosity between Lohan and Hilary Duff (both have taken similar career paths, and both had previously dated singer Aaron Carter). Lohan and Duff have been quoted in some reports complaining that the other has started a fight, and in other reports saying each hardly knows the other. At age 17, Lohan moved in with Valderrama in early 2004; their breakup that November made entertainment headlines. Tabloids then linked her to Bruce Willis to Jake Gyllenhaal, among others. She was also portrayed as a "party girl" who spent too much time at clubs with friends like Nicole Richie and Paris and Nicky Hilton. That image, and repeated rumors of breast enhancement (fueled in part by accidental exposures to paparazzi), brought constant denials from Lohan, who later lampooned the tabloids on Saturday Night Live. In early 2005, Lohan exhibited dramatic weight loss, leading to reports suggesting an eating disorder and/or drugs. She told People magazine, "I got a trainer ... Just old-school working out." Later, Lohan admitted that she lost so much weight at one point that she needed IV drips ("I nearly died" [8]), and said, "I'm working out with a trainer and eating healthily. I want my boobs back." [9] Her weight gain was evident in later photographs. In July, 2005, Mattel released a Lindsay Lohan 'My Scene' doll. Personal life Lohan's family name was originally pronounced LOW-han but, by 2005, the actress and her mother seemed to settle on LOW-en, suggesting a return to its European roots (her heritage is Irish and Italian). In 2005, Lohan said on the cable television show TEENick that her middle name originally was Dee, but she later changed it to Morgan. Lohan is involved in charity projects such as The Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Foundation, Save the Children, The United Cerebral Palsy Association, and her own charity organization, Dream Come True. Lindsay is the eldest child of Michael and Dina (née Sullivan) Lohan. She has three younger siblings, Michael, Aliana ("Ali") and Dakota ("Cody"). Ali is an aspiring model and actress. Lohan's father has had multiple problems with the law. In May, 2005, Michael Lohan was ordered to serve 1½ to 4 years in prison after pleading guilty to several charges, including aggravated unlicensed driving and attempted assault [10]. He admitted to a drinking problem, saying he was being kept away from his children, but he failed to address the reasons for the estrangement. On August 26, 2005, as part of a divorce petition filed by Dina Lohan, a Nassau County judge denied her husband a portion of Lindsay's earnings, saying they do not qualify as a "marital asset" (Michael Lohan argued it was Dina's "pay" as her daughter's manager). The judge further wrote that Lindsay's earnings filled "the void created by (Michael's) lack of support." [11] Lindsay's management has publicly suggested that she distance herself from her father; still, on Father's Day, 2005, she told reporters, "I hope he's well. God bless him and I love him." On May 31, 2005, Lohan suffered minor injuries in a car accident involving a paparazzo who was following her for a photograph (police said the crash was intentional, and they arrested him for assault with a deadly weapon). She was involved in another accident on October 4, 2005, when her black Mercedes-Benz convertible struck a van in West Hollywood. Police ruled that the van's driver made an illegal U-turn.
