Lohan began her career with Ford Models at age

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.[4] She was hired, and went on to appear in over 60 commercials, including a Jell-O spot with Bill Cosby. Her ad work led to roles in soap operas, and she was already considered a show-business veteran[5] in 1996 when she landed the role of Alexandra "Alli" Fowler on Another World, "where she delivered more dialogue than any other 10-year-old in daytime serials" of the time.[6]

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,



In 2005, Lohan became the first living person to have a "My Scene Goes Hollywood" doll released by Mattel. She also voiced herself in the direct-to-DVD feature film based on the dolls.[20]
Lohan returned to Disney in 2005 for Herbie: Fully Loaded, the fifth film in the Herbie series. Her popularity allowed her to choose from a wider variety of projects; Lohan felt the post-college character she portrayed in Herbie would help her make the transition into more grown-up roles.[21][22] Fully Loaded earned US$144 million worldwide.[23]
In 2006, Vanity Fair described Herbie as Lohan's "first disastrous shoot"; how she—stressed out from issues in her personal life and strained from trying to record her first album during the shoot—eventually ended up hospitalized with a kidney infection. The magazine also recounted how Lohan terminated Herbie's European promotional tour, and how Disney de-emphasized her on the movie poster due to "un-Disney-like behavior".[24]
Her next film in wide release, Just My Luck, opened in May 2006 to poor reviews and earned only $38 million worldwide.[25]
Following Just My Luck, Lohan focused on smaller roles in more mature, independent movies.[26] In June 2006, A Prairie Home Companion, in limited release, ended its run earning $25 million globally.[27] "Lohan rises to the occasion, delivering a rock-the-house version of 'Frankie and Johnny'," wrote Peter Travers.[28] Lohan completed filming the independent Emilio Estevez film, Bobby, in December 2005; the film was released in theaters on 23 November 2006, earning $19 million worldwide. While Bobby received generally mixed reviews (45% on Rotten Tomatoes),[29] Lohan got some praise for her performance, particularly a scene opposite Sharon Stone.[30][31]

She then appeared in Chapter 27 as a John Lennon fan who befriends Mark David Chapman (Jared Leto) on the day he murders the singer. It was filmed in New York between January and March 2006. The film had trouble finding a distributor for the United States and received a very limited release. Chapter 27 was widely panned by critics, receiving a dismal "20% Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes.[32]
On May 11, 2007, the drama Georgia Rule, in which Lohan starred alongside Felicity Huffman and Jane Fonda, was released. The production received adverse publicity when a letter from a studio executive to Lohan criticizing her professionalism was made public. James G. Robinson, CEO of the film's production company, wrote: "You and your representatives have told us that your various late arrivals and absences from the set have been the result of illness; today we were told it was 'heat exhaustion'. We are well aware that your ongoing all night heavy partying is the real reason for your so-called 'exhaustion'."[33] The film received mostly negative reviews. It grossed US$6.7 million at the box office in its opening weekend and to date has grossed over US$22 million worldwide.

After entering a rehabilitation facility in January 2007, Lohan withdrew from a film adaptation of Oscar Wilde's A Woman of No Importance, her publicist stating that Lohan needed to "focus on getting better". During her stay, she was allowed to continue shooting her latest film I Know Who Killed Me, returning to the center at night.[34][35][36][37] Production on the film was previously halted when Lohan underwent appendix surgery earlier in the month.[38][39][40][41] Lohan also dropped out of The Edge of Love in late April 2007, just before filming was to begin with the director citing "insurance reasons" and Lohan later explaining that she "was going through a really bad time then."[42][43][44] Lohan was then cast in the film adaptation of Poor Things. She ultimately lost, or perhaps withdrew from, the part following her May 2007 DUI arrest, although the film's producers voiced support for her decision to once again enter rehab.[45][46][47]


Entertainment Weekly quoted the head of a major film studio as saying, "Her career was over long before she had these troubles ... Right now, she'd have to pay a studio to get herself into a movie."[50] The article continues, "There's the L.A. bar scene that serves underage stars and Hollywood's compulsion to turn child actors into products, plus a frenzied 21st century media culture that has made Lohan and other celebs into exotic prey in flashbulb cages." ABC News quoted publicist Michael Levine as calling Lohan unemployable "for the next 18 months." The head of a talent agency agreed, noting that her personal issues likely made the insurance and other costs required for any film production to proceed prohibitively expensive.[51] James Robinson, the producer of Georgia Rule, stated he would still like to work with her. "She's a good person who's making some bad choices. She needs time to get the proper medical care, but when she's in the right emotional state, I'd put her in a movie right away ... She's probably one of the most talented young women in the movie business today."

In May 2008, Lohan appeared on ABC's Ugly Betty television series, her first screen appearance since I Know Who Killed Me.[52] Subsequently guest starring in a total of four episodes, spanning seasons two and three in 2008, Lohan played Kimmie Keegan, an old schoolmate of America Ferrera's character Betty Suarez.[53][54]
Lohan is the star of the forthcoming film comedy Labor Pains, playing a young woman who pretends to be pregnant to avoid being fired.[55][56] The film is in post-production as of July 2008 and scheduled for release in spring 2009.[57]

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."[59] Two years later, Lohan signed a recording contract with Casablanca Records, headed by Tommy Mottola. In 2006, Lohan was switched from Casablanca to Motown Records by Universal Music Group.[60]

The album spawned the second single "Over" and the third single "First." which was featured in Lohan's 2005 film Herbie: Fully Loaded. The music video also featured Herbie the Love Bug. Both music videos were directed by Jake Nava, who also directed the music video for "Rumors."
"[W]ith just two hit films under her belt, Lohan decided it was time to turn [herself] into a multimedia, cross-platform star," wrote Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic, "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."[62]




Lohan has a long-lasting admiration for Marilyn Monroe going back to when she saw Niagara during the The Parent Trap shoot. In the February 25, 2008 Spring Fashion edition of New York, Lohan re-created Monroe's final photo shoot, known as the Last Sitting, including nudity.[92] Her mother said doing the photo shoot was an "honor."[93]

In 2008 Lohan launched a leggings line named 6126, choosing 6126 as her brand name because it represents Marilyn Monroe's birth date.[96] Lohan also started a brand development firm called Stay Gold which will focus on a lower-priced line of leggings, creating a self-tanner, and a line of accessories.[97]

Lohan was born on July 2, 1986 in New York City and grew up in Merrick and Cold Spring Harbor on Long Island in New York.[1][100] She is the eldest child of Donata "Dina" (née Sullivan) and Michael Lohan. Lohan has three younger siblings, all of whom were child models: Michael Jr., who appeared with her in The Parent Trap, sister Aliana, who is also an actress, and Dakota, the youngest Lohan child. Lohan is of Irish and Italian heritage and was raised as a Catholic.[101]

She finished her studies at home[21] through Laurel Springs School[103] of Ojai, California.
Lohan's parents have a turbulent history. They married in 1985, separated when she was three, and later reunited.[104][105]
Lohan's father has been in trouble with the law repeatedly. He was a Wall Street trader and in the late 1980s, around the time of the release of The Parent Trap, he served a four year sentence for stock fraud.[104] Lohan has said her mother only told her that he was busy working.[106] He went to jail in 1998 for a probation violation, and in 2000 after violating an order of protection to prevent him from seeing his children.[104][107][108]
Following one separation when Michael Lohan was not allowed near the children Dina went to live with the children at her parents' because they were afraid to live in their own home.[109] Lohan spoke in 2007 about her younger siblings: "I feel like a second parent in the sense that I helped raise my family." And speaking about her parents' conflicts: "I was put between my mother and father a lot. Well, I would put myself between them to try and keep the peace, and I felt good doing that."[110]
In December 2005, Michael and Dina Lohan signed a separation agreement.[111] According to Vanity Fair, Dina Lohan accused Michael of threats and domestic abuse in the legal papers.[112] Michael Lohan in turn insinuated through the media that Dina had been drinking and doing drugs, possibly together with Lindsay.[104] In 2007, Lohan's parents announced that their divorce proceedings had been finalized.[113]

Lohan has suffered from asthma since the age of two.[119] Despite this she is a smoker.[120]
Following Mean Girls in 2004 Lohan spent several years living out of hotels in Los Angeles, two of those years at Chateau Marmont. In fall 2007 she settled down in more permanent residency, and later explained that she spent so much time in hotels because she "didn't want to be alone" but that "it wasn't a way of life ... not very consistent."[121][122][123]

Lohan is well known on the celebrity party scene.[127] In 2006, Lohan attended Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.[128]
On January 18, 2007, Lohan checked herself in to the Wonderland Center rehabilitation facility. Through her representative, she issued a statement saying, "I have made a proactive decision to take care of my personal health". Lohan checked out on February 16, 2007 after completing a 30-day stay.[129][130]

On May 26, 2007, Lohan lost control of her car and ran the vehicle up a curb. Beverly Hills police also found a "usable" amount of cocaine in her car and the police lab detected cocaine in her blood. After receiving treatment for minor injuries, Lohan was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence of alcohol.[131] Two days later, Lohan entered the Promises Treatment Centers rehabilitation facility, where she stayed for 45 days.[132] [133]
On July 24, 2007 the police found Lohan by a parking lot in Santa Monica having a "heated debate" with her former assistant who was fired several hours earlier. After failing field sobriety tests Lohan was taken to a police station where her blood alcohol level was found to be above the legal limit. While conducting a search, the police found a small amount of cocaine in her pocket.[134][135][136] Lohan was booked on a felony charge of possession of cocaine and misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence and driving with a suspended license.[137][138]

She was also ordered to pay fines and complete an alcohol education program, and was placed on three years probation. “It is clear to me that my life has become completely unmanageable because I am addicted to alcohol and drugs,” Lohan said in a statement.[140] On November 15, 2007, Lohan served only 84 minutes in jail. A sheriff spokesman cited overcrowding and the nonviolent nature of the crime as reasons for the reduced sentence.[141]
The Beverly Hills police department announced on March 14, 2009 that they had issued a warrant for Lohan's arrest in connection with the May 2007 hit-and-run and DUI allagations,[142] but the matter turned out to be a "misunderstanding" according to Lohan's attorney, and the judge dismissed the warrant.[143]
