Lindsay Dee Lohan (born July 2, 1986) is an American actress, model and pop singer-songwriter. She began her career as a child fashion model before making her motion picture debut in Disney's 1998 remake of The Parent Trap at the age of 11.
Lohan gained further fame between 2003 and 2005 with leading roles in the films Freaky Friday, Mean Girls and Herbie: Fully Loaded, subsequently appearing in independent films including Robert Altman's A Prairie Home Companion and Emilio Estevez's Bobby. Her career was interrupted in 2007 as two DUI incidents and three visits to rehabilitation facilities led to several lost movie deals. Resuming her career, she guest starred in the TV series Ugly Betty in 2008 and filmed Robert Rodriguez's Machete in 2009.
Lohan launched a second career in pop music with the album Speak and followed up with A Little More Personal (Raw) in 2005. Speak was released in December 2004, peaking at number four among the top-selling records in the U.S. and earning Platinum certification by early 2005. She has attracted significant publicity, particularly surrounding her personal life. As such, she is often photographed by paparazzi photographers. |
