In the Beginning
Lindsay Morgan Lohan, born July 2, 1986, as Lindsay Dee Lohan is an American actress, singer, and model, as many already know. Initially, Lohan attended Cold Spring Harbor High School and then Sanford H. Calhoun High school until the eleventh grade, at which point she began homeschooling. She began her career quite early at the age of three, posings a child fashion model. Later on at the age of ten, she was seen on the popular daytime soap opera ‘Another World’. While this was a spectacular role for a young actor, Lohan made her real debut when she was just eleven years old.
Career Accomplishments
Her first major film role was in the Disney remake of ‘The Parent Trap’ in 1998 which was a critical and commercial success. In this film, as everyone knows, the role calls for a set of twins, and there is only one Lindsay Lohan out there. That being the case, Lohan was forced to play both herself AND her British twin, making this one movie where she was really able to show off her acting prowess to the world. Following ‘The Parent Trap’ she was next to start in a remake of ‘Freaky Friday’ which was also a commercial success. Her next film, however, ‘Mean Girls’ really put her on the map and made her a household name. The previous two films earned her a number of MTV Movie Awards as well as Teen Choice Awards, further solidifying her place in the film industry. In 2004 Lohan would move into the music industry, and her very first album ‘Speak’ would be certified platinum. Her next album would be titled ‘A Little More Personal(Raw)’ in 2005, and it was certified gold. The year 2005 would see Lohan slide back into the film industry, starring in Disney’s ‘Herbie: Fully Loaded’ which was yet another box office success. She also performed in a number of independent films, but her acting career was seemingly put on hold in 2007 when she was arrested for drunk driving and put on probation, which led to the collapse of a number of different movie deals that she could have had. In the years 2008 and 2009, she worked as a fashion model for line 6126 and in that same time period returned to television, starring in the TV film ‘Labor Pains’. In addition to that, she appeared in the 2010 film ‘Machete’ and she found herself in drug rehabilitation three more times. Her life became rather problematic, however, as she spent more and more time dealing with legal issues due to her misdemeanors and various probation violations. In spite of that, she still managed to complete several more films, and she eventually made a stage debut in ‘Speed-the-Plow’.
Most Known For
Lindsay Lohan is known for a number of different movies and films, but her most popular, arguably, was Mean Girls. Unfortunately, she is most known for her mounting criminal record, and this came to a head when she missed a mandatory DUI progress hearing. She was sentenced to 90 days in jail, but much to the disgust of the public she only served 14 days of the sentence due to overcrowding. In an incident here nearly the entire world was watching, Lohan’s probation was revoked after she failed a drug test, though she was released on bail. She was ordered to attend treatment at the Betty Ford Center, and she remained there for three months. After various other crimes, she was given various jail sentences but she never served much of the time, and in one instance only served about five hours.
Where Is She Now?
Lohan is still in the acting/film industry, and she is presumed to still be making films, though many sources claim she is financially destitute. In addition to that, she is living in London, working on a book, and her Lavish Alice fashion line.
