Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Dee Lohan was born in New York City, on 2 July 1986, to 'Dina Lohan' (qv) and 'Michael Lohan' (qv). She began her career at age three as a Ford model, and also made appearances in over sixty television commercials, including spots for The Gap, Pizza Hut, Wendy's, and Jell-O (opposite 'Bill Cosby' (qv)). Lohan made her acting debut in 1996 as the third actress to play Ali Fowler in the television drama _Another World (1964)_ (qv). Shortly afterward she was hand-picked by Oscar-nominated writer 'Nancy Meyers' (qv) as estranged twin sisters in an adaptation by Walt Disney Pictures of a novel by 'Erich Kästner' (qv), which marked Meyers' directorial debut. Lohan's first feature film, _The Parent Trap (1998)_ (qv), a remake of _The Parent Trap (1961)_ (qv), 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 _The Wonderful World of Disney: Life-Size (2000)_ (qv) (opposite 'Tyra Banks' (qv)) and _Get a Clue (2002)_ (qv) (opposite 'Bug Hall' (qv)). She also appeared as Rose in the pilot episode of the short-lived comedy series _Bette (2000)_ (qv), which starred 'Bette Midler' (qv).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.However, Lohan was not turning her back on her blossoming acting career. Just over a month previously she had been cast opposite 'Jamie Lee Curtis' (qv) for another Disney adaptation of a novel, this time a fantasy comedy by 'Mary Rodgers' (qv). _Freaky Friday (2003)_ (qv), a remake of _Freaky Friday (1976)_ (qv), was a huge hit (generating over $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 between projects and moved into an apartment with fellow actress 'Raven-Symoné' (qv). She also dated pop star 'Aaron Carter' (qv) for a short time.Her next acting role was the title character in the comedy _Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004)_ (qv), a Disney adaptation of the novel by 'Dyan Sheldon' (qv). 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)_ (qv), saw her reunite with _Freaky Friday (2003)_ (qv) director 'Mark Waters' (qv). Inspired by a non-fiction book by 'Rosalind Wiseman' (qv) and written by _Saturday Night Live (1975)_ (qv) scribe 'Tina Fey' (qv), 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' (qv) romantic comedy _Just My Luck (2006)_ (qv).One of the most sought-after young actresses in the industry, she starred in _Bobby (2006)_ (qv) (opposite 'Demi Moore' (qv) and 'Sharon Stone' (qv)), the Disney fantasy adventure _Herbie Fully Loaded (2005)_ (qv) (a pseudo-sequel to _The Love Bug (1968)_ (qv)) and the critically acclaimed _A Prairie Home Companion (2006)_ (qv). On top of a thriving film career Lohan also launched a music career, releasing her debut album, "Speak," which hit shelves in December 2004.In 2009 Lohan launched her own fashion line titled 6126, mainly focusing on the production of women's leggings. By spring she launched a self-tanning spray line titled "Sevin Nyne" and by the end of the year she became an artistic designer for fashion house Ungaro.Lindsay continues her career in acting, having played a supporting role in the action film _Machete (2010)_ (qv).::Eddy (eddy2376), ponderer1982
