Lindsay Lohan

Lohan's parents married in 1985, separated when Lindsay was three, and later reunited.

Lindsay Dee Lohan (born July 2, 1986) is an American actress and singer.

Born in New York City and raised on Long Island, Lohan was signed to Ford Models at the age of three.

Lohan was born on July 2, 1986, in the Bronx, one of the five boroughs of New York City, and grew up in Merrick and Cold Spring Harbor on Long Island, New York.

She is the eldest child of Dina (née Sullivan) and Michael Lohan.

Her father, a former Wall Street trader, has been in trouble with the law on several occasions.

Her mother is a former singer and dancer.

Having appeared as a regular on the television soap opera Another World at age 10, her breakthrough came in the Walt Disney Pictures film The Parent Trap (1998).

Lohan has three younger siblings, all of whom have been models or actors: Michael Jr., who appeared with Lohan in The Parent Trap in 1998, Aliana, known as "Ali", and Dakota "Cody" Lohan.

Lohan is of Irish and Italian heritage, and she was raised as a Roman Catholic.

Her maternal antecedents were "well known Irish Catholic stalwarts" and her great-grandfather, John L. Sullivan, was a co-founder of the Pro-life Party on Long Island.

She began home-schooling in grade 11.

Lohan remained in her role on Another World for a year, before leaving to star in Disney's 1998 family comedy The Parent Trap, a remake of the 1961 movie.

She played dual roles of twins, separated in infancy, who try to reunite their long-divorced parents, played by Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson.

The film earned $92 million worldwide, and received largely positive reviews.

Lohan received unanimous acclaim for her debut performance.

Critic Kenneth Turan called Lohan "the soul of this film as much as Hayley Mills was of the original", going on to say that "she is more adept than her predecessor at creating two distinct personalities."

The film won Lohan a Young Artist Award for best performance in a feature film as well as a three-film contract with Disney.

At the age of 14, Lohan played Bette Midler's daughter in the pilot episode of the short-lived series Bette, but she resigned her role when the production moved from New York to Los Angeles.

The film's success led to appearances in the television films Life-Size (2000) and Get a Clue (2002), and the big-screen productions Freaky Friday (2003) and Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004).

Lohan starred in two made-for-TV movies: Life-Size alongside Tyra Banks in 2000, and Get a Clue in 2002.

Emilio Estefan and his wife, Gloria Estefan, signed Lohan to a five-album production deal in September 2002.

In 2003, Lohan starred alongside Jamie Lee Curtis in the remake of Disney's family comedy Freaky Friday, playing a mother and daughter who switch bodies and have to take on each other's roles.

At Lohan's initiative, her character was rewritten and changed from a Goth style to be more mainstream.

Lohan's early work won her childhood stardom, while the teen comedy sleeper hit Mean Girls (2004) affirmed her status as a teen idol and established her as a Hollywood leading actress.

Lohan signed with Casablanca Records and released two studio albums, the platinum-certified Speak (2004) and gold-certified A Little More Personal (Raw) (2005).

She also starred in the comedies Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005) and Just My Luck (2006).

They separated again in 2005 and finalized their divorce in 2007.

Lohan began her career as a child model with Ford Models at the age of three.

She modeled for Calvin Klein Kids and Abercrombie, and appeared in over 60 television commercials for brands like Pizza Hut and Wendy's, as well as a Jell-O spot with Bill Cosby.

By the age of 10, when Lohan played Alexandra "Alli" Fowler in the television soap opera Another World, Soap Opera Magazine said she was already considered a show-business veteran.

In order to showcase her range, Lohan began choosing roles in independent films such as A Prairie Home Companion and Bobby (both 2006) and Chapter 27 (2007).

Her reported behavior during the filming of the dramedy Georgia Rule in 2006 marked the start of a series of personal struggles that would plague her life and career for most of the next decade.

She became a fixture in the tabloid press for her frequent legal issues, court appearances and stints in rehabilitation facilities.

This period saw her lose several roles, negatively impacting her career and public image.

In an attempt to return to acting, she appeared in Liz & Dick (2012) and The Canyons (2013), but were both met with negative reviews.

In 2013, under the guidance of Oprah Winfrey, Lohan filmed the docu-series Lindsay (2014), which depicted her returning to work.

She subsequently made her stage debut in the London West End production of Speed-the-Plow (2014), starred in the second season of the comedy series Sick Note (2018), and served as a panelist in the first season of Masked Singer Australia (2019).

Between 2016 and 2018, she opened three beach clubs in Greece, which were the focus of the MTV reality television series Lindsay Lohan's Beach Club (2019).

After signing a multi-picture deal with Netflix, Lohan starred in the romantic comedy Falling for Christmas (2022).
