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.<ref name="modeling" /> She was hired, and Lohan went on to appear in over 60 commercials, including a [[gelatin dessert|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"<ref name="soapmag" /> in 1996 when she landed the role of Alexandra "Alli" Fowler on ''[[Another World (TV series)|Another World]]'', "where she delivered more dialogue than any other ten-year-old in daytime serials" of the time.<ref name="filmbug">{{cite web | title=filmbug.com | work=Lindsay Lohan at Filmbug UK | url=http://www.filmbug.co.uk/db/2176 | accessdate=22 January | accessyear=2006}}</ref> |

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, California|Los Angeles]] and the [[Napa County, California|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.'"<ref name="michael_01" /> ''Trap'' was well-received for a family comedy, bringing in [[United States dollar|US$]]92 million worldwide.<ref name="tptbox">{{cite web | title=boxofficemojo.com | work=Box Office Mojo: ''The Parent Trap | url=http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=theparenttrap98.htm | accessdate=29 January | accessyear=2006}}</ref> Film critic [[Janet Maslin]] found Lohan's dual performances so forceful "that she seems to have been taking shy violet lessons from [[Sharon Stone]]."<ref name="maslin">{{cite web | title=nytimes.com | work=Janet Maslin:''The Parent Trap: ''Sisters, Sisters, So Cute and So Well-Dressed | url=http://www.nytimes.com/library/film/072998parent-film-review.html | accessdate=29 July | accessyear=1998}}</ref> 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".<ref name="turan">{{cite web | title=calendarlive.com | work=Kenneth Turan:'' The Parent Trap | url=http://www.calendarlive.com/movies/reviews/cl-movie980728-1,0,7316867.story | accessdate=29 July | accessyear=1998}}</ref> |

Signed by Disney to a three-film contract, Lohan was offered the role of Penny in ''[[Inspector Gadget (film)|Inspector Gadget]]'' but, after seven months' work on ''The Parent Trap'', she turned it down.<ref name="llrocks" /> Later, she starred in two original television movies, ''[[Life-Size (film)|Life-Size]]'' (with [[Tyra Banks]]) and ''[[Get a Clue]]''. 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, California|Los Angeles]]. In 2001, she hosted the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC-TV]] commercial series commemorating [[Walt Disney]]'s 100th birthday during a rebroadcast of ''The Parent Trap''. |
|||
Following a brief hiatus, Lohan auditioned for (and won) the lead teen role in another Disney remake; ''[[Freaky Friday (2003 film)|Freaky Friday]]'' (2003) starred [[Jamie Lee Curtis]] and Lohan as a mother and daughter who each get trapped in the other's body. Critic [[Roger Ebert]] praised Lohan's "[[Jodie Foster]] sort of seriousness and intent focus beneath her teenage persona,"<ref name="ebert">{{cite web | title=rogerebert.suntimes.com | work=Roger Ebert:'' Freaky Friday ''review | url=http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20030806/REVIEWS/308060301/1023 | accessdate=6 August | accessyear=2003}}</ref> while Carrie Rickey—who panned the film—called her performance "unpredictable and inspired."<ref name="rickey">{{cite web | title=ae.philly.com | work=Carrie Rickey: Mother-daughter switcheroo is a doubt-of-body experience | url=http://ae.philly.com/entertainment/ui/philly/movie.html?id=77893&reviewId=12786 | accessdate=6 August | accessyear=2003}}</ref> Through 2005, ''Friday'' was Lohan's biggest commercial film success.<ref name="ffbox">{{cite web | title=boxofficeguru.com | work=Weekend Box Office, September 12 - 14, 2003 | url=http://www.boxofficeguru.com/091503.htm | accessdate=15 September | accessyear=2003}}</ref> |

Actor/[[television producer|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]] [[television program|series]] that plays practical jokes on celebrities (the episode was widely reported as the end of the series—also a practical joke<ref name="punk'd">{{cite web | title=cbsnews.com | work=CBS News: Kutcher Back For More <nowiki>'</nowiki>Punking<nowiki>'</nowiki> | url=http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/04/01/entertainment/main609892.shtml | accessdate=1 April | accessyear=2004}}</ref>). Eleven months later, Lohan appeared on ''[[That '70s Show]]'' opposite Kutcher and her then-boyfriend, actor [[Wilmer Valderrama]]. |

===Breakout role=== |
|||
[[Image:Lind in MG.jpg|thumb|right|160px|[[Amanda Seyfried]], Lohan and [[Lacey Chabert]] (l-r) in ''[[Mean Girls]]'']] |
|||
Lohan was given the lead in two films, ''[[Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (film)|Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen]]'' (her first feature that was not a remake) and [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]]'s ''[[Mean Girls]]'', both released in 2004. ''Drama Queen'' was a moderate success at the box office, but 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''."<ref name="tdq_review">{{cite web | title=metromix.com | work=Robert K. Elder: Little to Forgive in'' Confessions | url=http://metromix.chicagotribune.com/movies/chi-0402190480feb20,0,2881994.story | accessdate=27 January | accessyear=2006}}</ref> That "penance" came with ''Mean Girls'', her first [[MPAA film rating system|PG-13]] (and first non-Disney) film. Her breakout lead performance<ref name="breakout">{{cite web | title=teenpeople.com | work=Teen Choice Awards: The Winners | url=http://www.teenpeople.com/teenpeople/teenchoice/wednesday.html | accessdate=19 February | accessyear=2006}}</ref> pushed the critical and commercial hit to grosses of over US$86 million domestically and US$129 million worldwide, "cementing her status as the new teen movie queen," wrote Brandon Gray.<ref name="mgbox">{{cite web | title=boxofficemojo.com | work=Brandon Gray:'' Mean Girls' ''Surprisingly Nice $24.4M Weekend | url=http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=1325&p=.htm | accessdate=3 May | accessyear=2004}}</ref> "Lohan dazzles us once more," said Steve Rhodes. "[T]he smartly written script is a perfect match for her intelligent brand of comedy."<ref name="rhodes">{{cite web | title=rottentomatoes.com | work=Internet Reviews:'' Mean Girls | url=http://www.rottentomatoes.com/click/movie-1131931/reviews.php?critic=columns&sortby=default&page=7&rid=1275643 | accessdate=29 January | accessyear=2006}}</ref> |
|||
''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<ref name="rising" /> 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."<ref name="transition">{{cite web | title=sfgate.com | work=Lohan's Maturing: Mind, Body, Roles | url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2005/06/19/PKGIOD5RVA1.DTL&type=printable | accessdate=19 June | accessyear=2005}}</ref> ''Fully Loaded'' did well at the box office, earning more in international release than in the United States.<ref name="hflbox">{{cite web | title=boxofficemojo.com | work=Box Office Mojo:'' Herbie: Fully Loaded ''(2005) | url=http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=herbie05.htm | accessdate=25 January | accessyear=2006}}</ref> |

Her next film, ''[[Just My Luck]]'', opened in May 2006 to poor reviews and tepid box office receipts.<ref name="jmlbox">{{cite web | title=boxofficemojo.com | work=Box Office Mojo:'' Just My Luck ''(2006) | url=http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=justmyluck.htm | accessdate=14 June | accessyear=2006}}</ref> The following month, ''A Prairie Home Companion''—an ensemble film directed by Robert Altman—fared far better, debuting at #7 in limited release. "Lohan rises to the occasion," writes [[Peter Travers]], "delivering a rock-the-house version of '[[Frankie and Johnny (song)|Frankie and Johnny]]'."<ref name="aphcreview">{{cite web | title=rollingstone.com | work=Rolling Stone:'' A Prairie Home Companion'': Review | url=http://www.rollingstone.com/reviews/movie/_/id/9200812/rid/10466862/ | accessdate=14 June | accessyear=2006}}</ref> Lohan completed filming the independent [[Emilio Estevez]] film, ''[[Bobby (2006 film)|Bobby]]'', opposite [[Elijah Wood]], in December 2005; its release is scheduled for [[November 22]], [[2006]]. ''[[Chapter 27 (film)|Chapter 27]]'' with [[Jared Leto]] began filming in New York on [[January 9]], [[2006]], and had wrapped by March. |

Three new projects were announced in April 2006: Lohan will portray the friend of a rebellious teenage boy in the comedy ''[[Bill (film)|Bill]]''<!-- EDITORS: DO NOT remove this without a reliable source per Talk:Lindsay Lohan -->, a girl molested by her stepfather in ''[[Georgia Rule (film)|Georgia Rule]]'' starring opposite [[Felicity Huffman]] and [[Jane Fonda]], and a speech assistant to [[Adrien Brody]] in ''[[Speechless (2007 film)|Speechless]]''.<ref name="newfilms">{{cite web | title=mtv.com | work=Lindsay's Laundry List:'' SNL, ''Trip to Kenya, Two More Movies | url=http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1528557/04122006/story.jhtml | accessdate=13 April | accessyear=2006}}</ref><ref name="speechless">{{cite web | title=comingsoon.net | work=Brody and Lohan are'' Speechless ''(from'' Variety'') | url=http://comingsoon.net/news/indietopnews.php?id=14299 | accessdate=28 April | accessyear=2006}}</ref> In May, Lohan joined [[Annette Bening]] and [[Sean Bean]] as the announced stars of the film adaptation of Oscar Wilde's ''[[A Woman of No Importance]]''.<ref name="AWoNI">{{cite web | title=comingsoon.net | work=Bening, Lohan and Bean of'' Importance ''(from'' Variety'') | url=http://comingsoon.net/news/indietopnews.php?id=14638 | accessdate=22 May | accessyear=2006}}</ref>. |

===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.<ref name="insider">{{cite web | title=insider.tv.yahoo.com | work=The INSIDER Online: Lindsay 'Speaks' on Partying and 'Rumors' | url=http://insider.tv.yahoo.com/celeb/1467/ | accessdate=23 November | accessyear=2004}}</ref> For the [[Freaky Friday (soundtrack)|''Freaky Friday'' soundtrack]], she sang the closing theme, "Ultimate"; she also recorded four songs for the [[Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (soundtrack)|''Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen'' soundtrack]]. |
|||
[[Image:Lindsay Lohan - Speak.jpg|left|thumb|180px|Lohan's début album, ''[[Speak (album)|Speak]]'']] |
|||
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."<ref name="estefan">{{cite web | title=findarticles.com | work=Business Wire: Emilio Estefan, Jr., Signs Lindsay Lohan | url=http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_2002_Sept_25/ai_92044377 | accessdate=5 December | accessyear=2004}}</ref> 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 [[RIAA certification|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".<ref name="rumors">{{cite web | title=rollingstone.com | work=Lindsay Lohan: Rumors | url=http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/lindsaylohan/albums/album/6490352/rid/6507507 | accessdate=27 January | accessyear=2006}}</ref> Its sexually suggestive video reached number one on MTV's ''[[Total Request Live|TRL]]'' and was nominated for [[MTV Video Music Award for Best Pop Video|Best Pop Video]] at the 2005 [[MTV Video Music Awards]]. "Rumors" eventually earned a Gold certification. |
|||
"[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 Spears|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".<ref name="erlewine">{{cite web | title=livedaily.com | work=All Music guide:'' Speak ''by Lindsay Lohan | url=http://www.livedaily.com/artists/discography/album/R%20%20%20719491.html | accessdate=28 January | accessyear=2006}}</ref> |
|||
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 mixed; critics wondered why an album in which Lohan poured out her heart came across instead as a "slick pop production."<ref name="goldmark">{{cite web | title=commonsensemedia.org | work=Common Sense Review:'' A Little More Personal (Raw) | url=http://www.commonsensemedia.org/reviews/review.php?id=4715&type=Music | accessdate=28 January | accessyear=2006}}</ref> ''Slant'' magazine called it "contrived ... for all the so-called weighty subject matter, there's not much meat on these bones."<ref name="slant">{{cite web | title=slantmagazine.com | work=Slant magazine: Music Review:'' A Little More Personal (Raw) | url=http://www.slantmagazine.com/music/music_review.asp?ID=697 | accessdate=29 January | accessyear=2006}}</ref> Still, ''A Little More Personal (Raw)'' was certified Gold on [[January 18]], [[2006]]. |
|||
The music video for her 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.<ref name="coabh_video">{{cite web | title=billboard.com | work=Billboard: Lohan Puts "Heart" into Second Album | url=http://www.billboard.com/bb/daily/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1001219529 | accessdate=30 September | accessyear=2005}}</ref> She said "It's kind of offensive" but "I hope he sees the positive side of the video rather than the negative." |
|||
Lohan announced plans to record a third album starting in April 2006. She also is set to perform "If it's Alright" for ''[[Flushed Away]]''. |
|||
===Media spotlight=== |
|||
Lohan became a regular subject of tabloid media after reports of a [[catfight]] with Hilary<!-- EDITORS: Duff already is Wikilinked in the Music section, please do not link here --> Duff in 2003 over their relationships with singer [[Aaron Carter]]. Lohan and Duff both later said there was no "feud". 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."<ref name="willis">{{cite web | title=femalefirst.co.uk | work=Lindsay Lohan Denies Canoodling with Bruce Willis | url=http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/celebrity/29272004.htm | accessdate=11 March | accessyear=2005}}</ref> Lohan was also portrayed as a "party girl" who frequented clubs with [[Nicole Richie]] and [[Paris Hilton|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."<ref name="insider" />), while accidental exposures to [[paparazzi]] brought repeated rumors of [[Breast implant|breast enhancement]] ("they're real though," she affirmed.<ref name="breasts">{{cite web | title=msnbc.msn.com | work=Associated Press: Lindsay Lohan on breasts, break-up | url=http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6680479/ | accessdate=8 December | accessyear=2004}}</ref>). Lohan later lampooned the various rumors on ''SNL''. |

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.<ref name="smoke1">{{cite web | title=The Clarion-Ledger | work=Celebs Help Nix Nicotine with Signatures | url=http://www.clarionledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050714/FEAT05/507140345/1023 | accessdate=11 March | accessyear=2006}}</ref> (Lohan, who began smoking in 2004, was also trying to break the habit as of early 2006.<ref name="smoke2">{{cite web | title=PRNewswire | work=Lindsay Lohan's Mom Dina Talks One-On-One With E!

Lindsay Dee Lohan[1] (born July 2, 1986), known professionally as Lindsay Morgan Lohan, is an American actress, pop music singer, and former fashion model. She started in show business as a child model for magazine ads and television commercials. At age ten, she began her acting career on a soap opera; at eleven, she made her motion picture début 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 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 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
Personal
Lohan was born in New York City and raised in Merrick, Long Island, 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 (known as Ali) is an aspiring model and actress, and brother Dakota (Cody) has modeled fashions. Lohan is of Irish and Italian heritage and was raised Catholic.[2] She originally pronounced her name 'ˈləʊhæn but later settled on 'ˈləʊən and, in 2005, explained to a TEENick audience that she had changed her middle name to something that sounded more professional.
Lohan and her family have donated time and money to charity projects such as The Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Foundation, Save the Children, The United Cerebral Palsy Association, and her own charity organization, Dream Come True.
Lohan's family was financially comfortable from its inception; her father had inherited his family's pasta business, and Lindsay helped him create Denata's Pasta Chips. Michael Lohan later sold the business 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. Lindsay's mother, a former Rockette at Radio City Music Hall, was a Wall Street analyst before becoming her daughter's manager.[1] Lohan attended Cold Spring Harbor High School, a Long Island public school, until just before her high school graduation, finishing her studies at home.[4]
Like most celebrities, Lohan and her family have endured public scrutiny of their private lives. It was revealed in 2004 that Michael Lohan had spent much of Lindsay's preteen years in prison for securities fraud.[5] In 2005, he was sent back to prison for "aggravated unlicensed driving" and attempted assault.[6] Later that year, Lindsay'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."[7]
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.
Early work
Lohan began her career with Ford Models at age three and, at a time when blue-eyed blondes were in highest demand, the freckle-faced, auburn-haired child found little work at first.<ref name="modeling">{{cite visual | crew=Lohan, Lindsay (subject) |
