Lindsay Dee Lohan (/ˈloʊ.ən/; born July 2, 1986) is an American
actress, singer, songwriter, producer, and entrepreneur.[5] Born and raised in New York City, Lohan was signed to Ford Models at the age of three. Having appeared as a
regular on the television soap opera Another World at
age 10, her breakthrough came in the Walt Disney Pictures film The Parent Trap (1998).
The film's success led to appearances in the television films Life-Size (2000) and Get a Clue (2002), and the big-screen
productions Freaky Friday (2003)
and Confessions
of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004).Lohan's early work won her
childhood stardom, while the teen comedy sleeper hit Mean Girls (2004) affirmed her status as a teen idol and catapulted Lohan to the Hollywood A-list.
She became known as a triple threat after
signing with Casablanca Records and
releasing two studio albums, the platinum-certified Speak (2004)
and gold-certified A Little More Personal
(Raw) (2005). Following the success of Mean Girls and
her music career, Lohan starred in the comedy films Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005)
and Just My Luck (2006).
In order to showcase her range, Lohan began choosing roles in independent films such as A Prairie Home Companion and Bobby (both 2006) and Chapter 27 (2007), While filming the comedy
drama Georgia Rule in
2006, Lohan became the subject of intense media coverage due to reported issues
on set, which would be the start of a series of personal struggles that would
plague her life and career. During the late 2000s, she became a fixture in the
tabloid press for her legal issues, court appearances and a number of stints
in rehabilitation facilities due
to alcoholism. This period saw her lose several roles and had significantly
impacted her career and public image negatively. In an attempt to return to
acting and stage a comeback, she appeared in Liz & Dick (2012) and The Canyons (2013),
but both were both met with negative reviews. In 2013, under the guidance
of Oprah Winfrey, Lohan began
filming the docu-series Lindsay (2014)
which depicted her life after completing her final stint in rehab and returning
to work. The following year, a judge declared that Lohan had completed her
probation which began in 2007, making her free from the legal system for the
first time in eight years. She made her stage debut in the London West End production of Speed-the-Plow (2014–2015) and later starred in the
British comedy series Sick Note (2018).
Following years of continued sobriety, Lohan signed a multi-film deal with
streaming platform Netflix to star in several upcoming
projects. Falling for Christmas will
be the first film in the deal to be released at the end of 2022.
