LindsayLohan Biography
Lohan was born in New York City and raised in Merrick and Cold Spring Harbor on Long Island in New York. She is the eldest child of Michael and Dina (Sullivan) Lohan, both former actors. She has three younger siblings: brother Michael had a role as "Lost Boy at Camp" in The Parent Trap (1998), sister Aliana is an aspiring model and actress, and brother Dakota (Cody) has modeled fashions. Lohan is of Irish and Italian heritage and was raised Catholic. Lindsay Dee Lohan (born July 2, 1986), known professionally as Lindsay Morgan Lohan, is an American actress and pop music singer. She started in show business as a child fashion model for magazine ads and television commercials. At age ten, she began her acting career on a soap opera; at eleven, she made her motion picture debut by playing both twins in Disney's 1998 remake of The Parent Trap. Lohan's breakout role as a leading actress came six years later with 2004's Mean Girls, which shone the media spotlight on her professional and personal lives, including her nightlife and her parents' marital and legal struggles.
Lohan began her career with Ford Models at age three and, at a time when blue-eyed blondes were in highest demand, the freckle-faced, auburn-haired child found little work as a fashion model. She persisted, and eventually appeared in more than 100 print ads for Toys "R" Us. 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).
Lohan made her acting debut in 1996 as the third actress to play Ali Fowler in the television drama "Another World" (1964). Shortly afterward, she was hand-picked by Oscar-nominated writer Nancy Meyers as estranged twin sisters in an adaptation by Walt Disney Pictures of a novel by Erich Kästner, which marked Meyers' directorial debut. Lohan's first feature film, The Parent Trap (1998), a remake of The Parent Trap (1961), was a modest commercial success, earning her widespread critical acclaim, and a Young Artist award for Best Leading Young Actress in a Feature Film, as well as Blockbuster Entertainment and YoungStar award nominations.
After signing a three-movie contract with Disney, she returned to the small screen to star in the made-for-TV movies Life-Size (2000) (TV) (opposite Tyra Banks) and Get a Clue (2002) (TV) (opposite Bug Hall). She also appeared as Rose in the pilot episode of the short-lived comedy series "Bette" (2000), which starred Bette Midler.
In June 2001, Lohan took a brief hiatus from acting. Her music career was launched over a year later, when Estefan Enterprises made a five-album production deal with her in September 2002, and she signed a recording contract with the reactivated Casablanca Records.
But Lohan was not turning her back on her blossoming acting career. Just over a month previously, she had been cast opposite Jamie Lee Curtis for another Disney adaptation of a novel, this time of a fantasy comedy by Mary Rodgers. Freaky Friday (2003), a remake of Freaky Friday (1976), was a huge hit (generating over US$160 million in worldwide box office receipts), and critics were spellbound by delightful performances from Lohan and Curtis (who went on to receive a Golden Globe nomination for her work). In addition, Lohan won the 2004 MTV Movie award for Best Breakthrough Female, as well as a Saturn award nomination and another Young Artist award nomination.Lohan relocated permanently to Los Angeles, California, between projects, and moved into an apartment with fellow actress Raven. She also dated pop star Aaron Carter for a short time.Lohan's next acting role was the title character in the comedy Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004), a Disney adaptation of the novel by Dyan Sheldon. The film received scathing reviews upon its release and died a quick death at the box office, but even the harshest of critics were impressed by Lohan's charming turn as aspiring actress Lola.Lohan's next project, Mean Girls (2004) saw her reunite with Freaky Friday (2003) director Mark Waters. Inspired by a non-fiction book by Rosalind Wiseman and written by "Saturday Night Live" (1975) scribe Tina Fey, the high-school comedy-drama opened to glowing reviews, and grossed $86 million in the US. This earned her status as a bankable actress, and a salary of $7.5 million for the Donald Petrie romantic comedy Just My Luck (2006).One of the most sought-after young actresses in the industry, she is staring in Bobby (2006) (opposite Nick Cannon), The Fashionistas (2008) (based on the novel by Lynn Messina), the high school dramas "Dramarama"(1983), "Gossip Girl" (2007)(based on the novel by Cecily von Ziegesar), and the Disney fantasy adventure Herbie Fully Loaded (2005) (a pseudo-sequel to The Love Bug (1968)). On top of a thriving film career, Lohan released her debut album, called "Speak," which hit shelves in December 2004.
Lohan is known for a number of things. Most recently, she's been known for hanging out with Paris Hilton and being a wild party girl. However, prior to that, she built a respectable and uplifting movie career. Perhaps her most famous role came in the teen comedy movie "Mean Girls," a film that is still considered her finest role yet, as well as the role that defined her place in the industry. Her earliest known role came in the remake of classic comedy film "Parent Trap," where she played the roles of separated-at-birth twins Hallie Parker and Annie James. Her more recent film credits include the romantic comedy "Just My Luck" and the interesting comedy "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen," both released in 2004. She is also known as one of Hollywood's "triple threat" performers, being a singer, an actress, and a model. She's been said to have once been involved a rivalry with fellow teen actress Hillary Duff, though the rumors have often been dismissed by both parties.
In July 2007, Lohan was arrested

In July 2007, Lohan was arrested
after being accused of engaging in a car chase with her assistant's mother. When she was booked into jail, officers again found cocaine on the actress. She reportedly told Access Hollywood of the incident, "I am innocent... did not do drugs, they're not mine. I was almost hit by my assistant Tarin's mom."
Lohan was released on $25,000 bail and soon thereafter she checked herself into Utah's Cirque Lodge rehab center. While there, an L.A. County judge decided on the star's punishment
Lohan was released on $25,000 bail and soon thereafter she checked herself into Utah's Cirque Lodge rehab center. While there, an L.A. County judge decided on the star's punishment
for the two DUI counts: 10 days of community service, probation for a maximum of three years, 18-months of alcohol education, three days in a coroner program (in which she'll visit a morgue and talk to victims of drunk drivers), and one day in jail.
That day in jail - shortened - took place yesterday. She began working on her community service requirement on November 12, putting in time at an American Red Cross location.
She's currently in Los Angeles filming the Carlos Gardel bio-musical, Dare to Love Me which will be released later next year.
Every generation has its share of emerging stars. and Lindsay Lohan was beginning to prove just that. In only a few years, she became an idol for teenage girls everywhere and a pinup for their male counterparts. However, her battle with drugs and alcohol came to a head in 2007 when she lost control of her Mercedes-Benz convertible and hit a curb. Police found cocaine in her car and charged her with driving under the influence. She entered rehab several times, and finally in August Lindsay stuck to her rehab and was released in October. Let's hope this was Lohan's last bout with addiction'
