Biography |
Lindsay Morgan Lohan was born in New York City on July 2,
1986. Her mother Dina is a former Radio City "Rockette"
while her father Michael was a long-time Wall Street trader
before he struck it rich with a family pasta business. He
has now redirected his energies into film development and
producing.
Along with her three younger siblings, Michael, Aliana and
Dakota, Lindsay was raised in Long Island. Lindsay was such
a natural beauty that she began modeling at the age of 3. In
fact, she was the first redheaded child ever signed by the
renowned Ford Modeling Agency.

But Lindsay Lohan wasn't just a pretty child; she was also
talented. Capitalizing on her flair for performing, she was
cast in over 60 TV commercials for companies such as
Abercrombie & Fitch, Wendy's, the Gap, Pizza Hut, Calvin
Klein, and Jell-O, in which she shared the screen with Bill
Cosby.
When she was 7, Lindsay was required to dress up as garbage
for a Halloween skit on the Late Show with David Letterman
called "Things You Find on the Bottom of the Subway." It was
her first real acting job.

In 1996, Lindsay got her second big break when she was cast
on the long-running NBC soap opera, Another World. For only
one season, she became the third actress to portray
Alexandra "Alli" Fowler.
Shortly after, she hit the highway to fame when Disney
sought to remake the hugely successful family comedy, The
Parent Trap (1961). There was a six-month casting search and
in January 1997, Lindsay got a phone call from director
Nancy Meyers to announce that she had received the role that
Hayley Mills made popular in the early '60s.
In the 1998 version, Lindsay starred as estranged twin
sisters Hallie Parker and Annie James, who meet for the
first time while at summer camp and later devise a plan to
make their parents fall in love again. Not only was it a
blockbuster, but Lindsay also came away with a Young Artist
Award for Leading Young Actress, which she shared with Jena
Malone (Stepmom).

In addition, she also got a three-picture deal with Disney,
thanks to this movie. Although she turned down the part of
Penny in Inspector Gadget (1999), her next move was to
appear in the Wonderful World of Disney production of
Life-Size (2000), a comedy also featuring supermodel Tyra
Banks.
In 2000, Bette Midler was slated to star in a new sitcom
called Bette, and Lindsay was cast as her daughter, Rose.
But once the pilot was shot, the producers decided to move
the production from New York to Los Angeles. Wanting to stay
in New York, Lindsay left the sitcom. The show moved to
California, actress Marina Malota replaced Lindsay, and 16
episodes later, Bette was canceled.
This left Lohan with some free time and she spent it
shooting the Disney Channel Original Movie of the Month, Get
a Clue (2002), in which she played a snooty school gossip
columnist out to discover what happened to a missing
teacher. After shooting, she took a short break from acting.

During this period, Lindsay decided to concentrate on her
musical career. Having been in the entertainment industry
for most of her life, she had received quite a few useful
phone numbers over the years. In September 2002, music
heavyweight Emilio Estefan, Jr. took Lindsay under his wing.
She signed a five-album deal with Estefan Enterprises.

Next on her plate was another remake of a Disney classic.
Along with Jamie Lee Curtis, Lohan was cast in Freaky Friday
(2003) and reprised one of the early roles that made Jodie
Foster a household name.
The body-swapping fantasy grossed over $100 million US
domestically and allowed Lindsay to showcase her singing
abilities in the movie. In fact, it's because of her song
"Ultimate" that the soundtrack was propelled to Billboard's
Top 20 in less than three weeks.

Then, Lindsay permanently relocated to Los Angeles and
became child star Raven-Symone's roommate before briefly
dating Aaron Carter (younger brother of Nick Carter, of
Backstreet Boys fame). This became a favorite topic among
gossip columnists, especially when Lindsay and Hilary Duff
began feuding publicly over the teen pop star.
Lindsay got back in the saddle with the critically- and
financially-disappointing Confessions of a Teenage Drama
Queen (2004). A few months later, she made everyone forget
about it by starring in the hit Mean Girls (2004), alongside
Rachel McAdams, Lacey Chabert and Amanda Seyfried.
lindsay lohan in dramarama
One of 2004's youngest "It" girls could soon be seen
everywhere, from hosting Saturday Night Live in May and the
MTV Movie Awards in June 2004, to appearing in magazines and
tabloid TV shows. In 2005, Lindsay Lohan can add the movies
Herbie: Fully Loaded (another Disney flick), Gossip Girl and
Fashionistas to her resume. And she's staying busy well into
2007, with the release of I Dream of Jeannie in 2006 and
Dramarama the following year.
As if Hollywood success weren't enough, Lindsay seems to be
setting out to become a triple threat with the release of
her debut album Speak in December 2004. But when she
performed "Rumors" -- the first single off the album -- on
Good Morning America, rumors began to swirl that she
lip-synced, because there was a backing track playing.
When she's not on a movie set or at a photo shoot, Lindsay
enjoys spending her free time rollerblading, swimming, doing
gymnastics, and, according to tabloids, partying the night
away. |
