Lindsay Lohan
Biography
Lindsay
Morgan Lohan was born in New York City, New York, on 2nd July 1986,
to Dina and Michael Lohan. 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
Jello (opposite Bill Cosby). Lohan made her acting debut in 1996
as the third actress for Ali Fowler in the television drama "Another
World" (1964). Shortly after, she was handpicked by Oscar-nominated
writer Nancy Meyers as estranged twin sisters in an adaptation by
Walt Disney Pictures of a novel by Erich Kästner, which would
mark Meyers' directorial debut. Lohan's first feature film, The
Parent Trap (1998) 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 Life-Size (2000)
(TV) (opposite Tyra Banks) and Get a Clue (2002) (TV). She also
appeared as Rose in the pilot episode of the short-lived comedy
series "Bette" (2000), which starred Bette Midler.
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.
But Lohan
was not turning her back on her blossoming acting career. Just over
a month previously, she had been cast opposite Jamie Lee Curtis
for another Disney adaptation of a novel, this time of a fantasy
comedy by Mary Rodgers. Freaky Friday (2003) was a huge hit (generating
over $160 million in worldwide box office receipts), and critics
were spellbound by delightful performances from Lohan and Curtis.
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's
next acting role was the title character in the comedy Confessions
of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004), a Disney adaptation of the novel
by Dyan Sheldon. The film receiving 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) saw her reunite with Freaky Friday
(2003) director Mark S. Waters. Inspired by a non-fiction book by
Rosalind Wiseman and written by "Saturday Night Live"
(1975) scribe Tina Fey, the high school comedy drama opened to glowing
reviews, and grossed $86 million in the U.S. alone. This earned
her status as a bankable actress, and a salary of $7.5 million for
the upcoming Donald Petrie romantic comedy Lady Luck (2005) .
One of
the most sought after young actresses in the industry, she is set
to star in two other romantic comedies: Untitled Nick Cannon/Lindsay
Lohan Project (2006) (opposite Nick Cannon) and Fashionistas (2005)
(based on the novel by Lynn Messina) as well as the high school
dramas Dramarama (2006), Gossip Girl (2005) (based on the novel
by Cecily von Ziegesar), and the Disney fantasy adventure Herbie:
Fully Loaded (2005) (a pseudo-sequel to The Love Bug (1968)). On
top of a thriving film career, Lohan has also been working on her
debut album, called "Speak", which will hit shelves in
December 2004.
In her
spare time, Lohan enjoys swimming, basketball, shopping, singing,
reading, writing, gymnastics, collecting Beanie Babies, roller-blading,
and playing with her siblings Aliana, Dakota and Michael Lohan.
