Lindsay Dee Lohan
(born July 2, 1986) is an American actress and pop music
singer. Lohan started in show business as a child
fashion model for magazine ads and television
commercials. At age ten, she began her acting career in
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.
As an adult, Lohan began to take on more varied roles
and projects, including Robert Altman's final film, A
Prairie Home Companion. While filming Herbie: Fully
Loaded in 2004, Lohan launched her career in music,
recording and releasing her first studio album, Speak;
her second album, A Little More Personal (Raw), was
released in 2005.
Biography and career: Lindsay Lohan was born in
The Bronx and grew up in Merrick and Cold Spring Harbor
on Long Island in New York. She is the eldest child of
Michael and Dina (née 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.
Lindsay is 3/4 Irish and 1/4 Italian heritage and was
raised as a Catholic.[2] She originally pronounced her
name ˈləʊhæn but later settled on
ˈləʊən; in 2005, Lohan explained to
a TEENick audience that she had decided to use Morgan as
her middle name because it sounded more professional.
Lindsay's family was financially comfortable from its
inception; her father had inherited his family's pasta
business, which he later sold to trade in futures
(briefly becoming President of New York Futures
Traders).[3] More recently, he worked as an investment
banker, securing funding for independent films. Lohan's
mother, a former Rockette at Radio City Music Hall, was
a Wall Street analyst before becoming her daughter's
manager. Despite the family's wealth, Lohan—when she
wasn't tutored on film sets—attended public schools on
Long Island until just before her high school
graduation, finishing her studies at home.
It was revealed in 2004 that Michael Lohan had spent
much of his daughter's preteen years in prison for
securities fraud. In 2005, he was sent back to prison
for "aggravated unlicensed driving" and
attempted assault. Later that year, Lohan's parents
settled their divorce case; her mother's attorney said,
"Dina and the children are delighted that this
chapter in their lives is finally over", while her
father (through his lawyer) said, "[I] look forward
to the opportunity to rebuild my relationship with my
children." He was released on March 13, 2007, hours
after his daughter was videotaped causing minor injuries
to a paparazzo while trying to avoid photographers
outside a New York club.
In 2004, Lohan shared an apartment in the Los Angeles,
California, area with actress Raven-Symoné. The
following year, she bought a home in West Hollywood
while still spending much of her time at her family's
home in New York. She has dated actor Wilmer Valderrama
and Pink Taco restaurateur Harry Morton.
Early work: 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), Хай
Клуб (High Club, Bulgaria), and
Blenda (Japan).
Lohan's first auditions for television work did not go
well; by the time she tried out for a Duncan Hines
commercial, she told her mother that she would give up
if she did not get the job. She was hired, and Lohan
went on to appear in over 60 commercials, including a
Jell-O pudding spot with Bill Cosby. Her ad work led to
roles in soap operas, and she was already considered a
show-business veteran in 1996 when she landed the role
of Alexandra "Alli" Fowler on Another World,
"where she delivered more dialogue than any other
ten-year-old in daytime serials" of the time.
Lohan gave up Another World for the big screen when
director Nancy Meyers cast her as estranged twin sisters
who try to reunite their long-divorced parents (Dennis
Quaid and Natasha Richardson) in The Parent Trap (1998).
Hired in 1997 at age 10, Lohan was 11 when filming began
in England and California (in Los Angeles and the Napa
Valley). "I left school for eight months," she
said. "When I came back, my friends [asked],
'Where'd you go?' I said, 'My family and I went on a
long vacation.' Then the movie came out, and they were,
like, 'Um, Lindsay? That's you in Parent Trap,' and I
said, 'Oh, yeah. I also did this movie while we were
gone.'" Trap was well-received for a family comedy,
bringing in US$92 million worldwide. Film critic Janet
Maslin found Lohan's dual performances so forceful
"that she seems to have been taking shy violet
lessons from Sharon Stone."[15] Critic Kenneth
Turan called Lohan "the soul of this film as much
as Hayley Mills was of the original, and … she is more
adept than her predecessor at creating two distinct
personalities".
Signed by Disney to a three-film contract, Lohan was
offered the role of Penny in Inspector Gadget but, after
seven months' work on The Parent Trap, she turned it
down. Later, she starred in two original television
movies, Life-Size (2000) (with Tyra Banks) and Get a
Clue (2002). She also played Bette Midler's daughter in
the first episode of the short-lived series, Bette
(2000), but Lohan—then 14—quit when the production
moved from New York to Los Angeles. In 2001, she hosted
the ABC-TV commercial series commemorating Walt Disney's
100th birthday during a rebroadcast of The Parent Trap.
Following a brief hiatus, Lohan attended her first-ever
film audition and won the lead teen role in another
Disney remake; Freaky Friday (2003) starred Jamie Lee
Curtis and Lohan as a mother and daughter trapped in the
other's body. Critic Roger Ebert praised Lohan's
"Jodie Foster sort of seriousness and intent focus
beneath her teenage persona," while Carrie
Rickey—who panned the film—called her performance
"unpredictable and inspired." Through 2005,
Friday was Lohan's biggest commercial film success,
earning US$160 million worldwide.
Actor/producer Ashton Kutcher considered Lohan a
sufficient ratings draw in December 2003 to feature her
in the second-season finale of Punk'd, his MTV series
that plays practical jokes on celebrities (the episode
was widely reported as the end of the series—also a
practical joke). Eleven months later, Lohan appeared on
That '70s Show opposite Kutcher and her then-boyfriend,
Wilmer Valderrama.
Breakout: Lohan was given the lead in two films,
Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (her first feature
that was not a remake) and Paramount's Mean Girls, both
released in 2004. Drama Queen was a moderate success at
the box office, grossing about US$30 million, but was a
failure with critics. "Though still a promising
star," Robert K. Elder wrote, "Lohan will have
to do a little penance before she's forgiven for
Confessions." That "penance" came with
Mean Girls, her first PG-13 (and first non-Disney) film;
her breakout lead performance pushed the critical and
commercial hit to grosses of over US$86 million
domestically and US$128 million worldwide,
"cementing her status as the new teen movie
queen," wrote Brandon Gray."Lohan dazzles us
once more," said Steve Rhodes. "The smartly
written script is a perfect match for her intelligent
brand of comedy."
Mean Girls was scripted by Tina Fey and featured several
alumni of Saturday Night Live; Lohan was asked to host
the show three times, in 2004, 2005, and 2006.
Lohan returned to Disney for Herbie: Fully Loaded
(2005), the fifth film in the long-dormant Herbie
series. Her rising popularity allowed her to choose from
a wider variety of projects and, at age 19, Lohan felt
Herbie would help her make the transition into more
grown-up roles."In most of my other films, I was in
high school," she said. "Here, [my character
is] just out of college. It's nice to be able to do
something that I think will be acceptable to the fan
base I've accumulated from my Disney movies, but
subconsciously they'll see me getting older and
maturing." Fully Loaded did well at the box office,
earning more in international release than in the United
States.
Music: Hoping to become a "triple
threat" (actor/model/singer) like her idol,
Ann-Margret, Lohan began by showcasing her singing
talents through her films. For the Freaky Friday
soundtrack, she sang the closing theme,
"Ultimate"; she also recorded four songs for
the Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen soundtrack.
Producer Emilio Estefan, Jr. signed Lohan to a
five-album production deal in 2002. "The minute I
heard her sing, I knew she was gifted," he said,
"and [she] has an incredible ability to connect
with her audience. I am very excited to be working with
her." Lohan—who said she was "extremely
excited"—added, "I am surrounded by a group
of very talented people." Two years later, Lohan
signed a recording contract with Casablanca Records,
headed by "diva-maker" Tommy Mottola. Her début
album, Speak, was released in December 2004, and peaked
at number four on the Billboard 200. By early 2005, it
was certified Platinum. Though primarily a pop-rock
album, Speak was introduced with the single
"Rumors", described by Rolling Stone as
"a bass-heavy, angry club anthem". Its
sexually suggestive video reached number one on MTV's
TRL and was nominated for Best Pop Video at the 2005 MTV
Video Music Awards. "Rumors" eventually earned
a Gold certification in America.
"[W]ith just two hit films under her belt",
wrote Stephen Thomas Erlewine of All Music Guide,
"Lohan decided it was time to turn [herself] into a
multimedia, cross-platform star ... and so Speak was
recorded quickly and rushed into the stores". He
called her music "a blend of old-fashioned,
Britney-styled dance-pop and the anthemic, arena rock
sound pioneered by fellow tween stars Hilary Duff and
Ashlee Simpson. [However,] Lohan stands apart from the
pack with her party-ready attitude and her husky
voice".
In December 2005, her second album, A Little More
Personal (Raw), débuted at number 20 on the Billboard
200 chart, but fell under the top 100 within six weeks.
Reviews were unfavorable; critics wondered why an album
in which Lohan poured out her heart came across instead
as a "slick pop production." Slant magazine
called it "contrived ... for all the so-called
weighty subject matter, there's not much meat on these
bones." Still, A Little More Personal (Raw) was
certified Gold on January 18, 2006. The music video for
the album's first single, "Confessions of a Broken
Heart (Daughter to Father)"—directed by Lohan and
featuring the acting début of her sister, Ali—was a
dramatization of the pain Lohan says her family has
suffered at the hands of her father. She said "It's
kind of offensive" but "I hope he sees the
positive side of the video rather than the
negative."
Universal Music Group moved Lohan from Casablanca to
Motown Records in February 2006. In March, she told OK!
magazine that she was writing lyrics for her third
album, which she called "different [from] the first
two". The November 2006 edition of In Style
reported a Christmas 2006 release, but it was pushed
back.
Lindsay confirmed in the new issue of Nylon magazine
that she is excited to start working on her third album
in August saying "Im f*cking serious this time! I
want to do a tour like Madonna, and do what Britney was
doing. Working with Pharell, and Timbaland, and Justin
Timberlake."
Media spotlight: Lohan was 17 when she moved in
with Valderrama in early 2004, and their breakup that
November made the gossip columns; numerous romantic
rumors followed, forcing actors such as Bruce Willis to
refer to their relationships with Lohan as "purely
professional." Lohan was also portrayed as a
"party girl" who frequented clubs with Nicole
Richie and Paris and Nicky Hilton, among others
("people [say], 'Oh, she goes out and she
parties,'" Lohan said. "No, we are just going
out and having fun."), while accidental exposures
to paparazzi brought repeated rumors of breast
enhancement ("they're real though," she
asserted). Lohan later lampooned the various rumors on
Saturday Night Live. Rumors of breast implants still
persist though with at least "three plastic
surgeons" who have gone on record to say she has
"most likely has implants that were removed or
downsized." Lohan's three car accidents in 2005
made headlines. The first was a minor rear-ender, though
the victims later threatened to sue her. She suffered
minor injuries when a paparazzo who was following her
for a photograph hit her car (police called the crash
intentional, but prosecutors said there was not enough
evidence to file criminal charges). Lohan also struck a
van in West Hollywood; police ruled that the van's
driver made an illegal U-turn. When VH1 named Lohan
"Big 'It' Girl" for its 'Big' in '05 Awards in
December, it was, Lohan quipped, "because being Big
in '05 means getting in three car crashes in one year,
people!".
Lohan was the first living person to have a "My
Scene Goes Hollywood" doll released by Mattel (in
2005). She also voiced herself in the direct-to-DVD
feature film based on the dolls.
Lohan was interviewed for the March 2006 issue of Allure
magazine; she said she hoped to be taken seriously as an
actress, adding, "I hate it when people call me a
teen queen." She addressed the numerous romantic
rumors ("I know now that I don't need a
boyfriend.") and her weight loss ("I will say
that I went through a phase. I lost weight when I was in
the hospital, and then I wanted to keep it off.").
Lohan says 2005 "felt like five lifetimes because
I've grown up a lot".
According to court documents published in August 2006,
Lohan's mother was sued for fraud by two men who claim
they helped produce half of the songs for the
Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen soundtrack. The
documents outline a claim filed in Nevada and a request
"to take a deposition outside the State of Nevada
of [Lindsay] Lohan, who resides in the State of
California."
Lohan was voted #10 on the list of "100 Sexiest
Women" by readers of FHM. Maxim placed her at #3 on
its 2006 Hot 100 list.
The death in 2006 of A Prairie Home Companion director
Robert Altman hit Lohan hard, according to a condolence
letter she sent to his family. The letter drew
widespread criticism for being incoherent and laden with
spelling and grammatical errors; publicist Leslie Sloane
said journalists were wrong to criticize a note
"from the heart" that was composed on her
BlackBerry.
In 2006, Brandon Davis called Lohan a
"firecrotch" while Paris Hilton laughed on.
The term stuck with many celebrity gossip magazines and
websites, becoming a derogatory nickname and spawning
parodies.
Another derogatory nickname given to Lohan is "Lazy
Lohan" given notably by The Sun Newspaper, due
partly to a social lifestyle occasionally affecting her
work commitments.
Health issues: In July 2005, she participated in
the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, an effort to help
prevent teenagers from smoking cigarettes and to help
current smokers quit. Lohan, who began smoking in 2004,
was also trying to break the habit as of early 2006.
Lohan exhibited dramatic weight loss during 2005, which
she attributed to "old-school working out."
Later, Lohan admitted that she "nearly died"
and said, "I'm working out with a trainer and
eating healthily. I want my boobs back." Lohan
spent about two days at a Miami, Florida, hospital after
suffering a serious asthma attack in January 2006. That
same week, Vanity Fair released an interview in which
Lohan admitted using drugs "a little" (she
denied ever using cocaine, calling it a "sore
subject"). The article said she had recovered from
"bulimic episodes", and that her 2005
hospitalization was for "a swollen liver and kidney
infection". Lohan later said she was
"appalled" that her words were "misused
and misconstrued" for the article; the magazine
replied, "Every word [was recorded] on tape. Vanity
Fair stands by the story."
In July 2006, Lohan was taken to a hospital while
shooting Georgia Rule, complaining that she was
"overheated and dehydrated"; Morgan Creek
Productions CEO James G. Robinson had a letter delivered
to Lohan in which he accused her of "all night
heavy partying" and making up "bogus
excuses", and threatened to take action to recover
any "monetary damages". Her mother later
appeared on Access Hollywood to refute the accusation,
saying her asthmatic daughter was working in 105-degree
heat and calling Robinson's letter "way out of
line."
People wrote in December 2006 that Lohan had been
attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings in Los Angeles
for a year, but she told the magazine that she hadn't
gone public because "it's no one's business. That's
why it's anonymous!" She said she had been going to
clubs between film projects to get partying "out of
my system, [but] I was going out too much and I knew
that, and I have more to live for than that." The
following month, Lohan entered rehab at an undisclosed
location "to take care of my personal health,"
asking that the media "please respect my privacy at
this time."She became an outpatient a short time
later.
Lohan's representative told People that the actress had
undergone an appendectomy on January 4, 2007. She was
videotaped the following day, trying to avoid
photographers after she walked out of the hospital.
