Lindsay Lohan
| Biography |
Child actress Lindsay Lohan was already an experienced performer when she made her feature debut in the 1998 remake of The Parent Trap. Born in New York City, Lohan began modeling at age three. After appearing in numerous TV commercials, Lohan moved to series TV with a role on the daytime serial Another World from 1996 to 1997. Cast as The Parent Trap's scheming twin sisters after a six month search for just the right girl, Lohan succeeded in filling Hayley Mills' shoes, winning over audiences with her pert charm as both the Californian Hallie and the British-raised Annie. She subsequently starred in the Disney TV film Life-Size (2000). Subsequently cast in actress Bette Midler's shortlived sitcom Bette, Lohan took a turn as a teenage gossip columnist (Get a Clue (2002)) before turning up in yet another remake of a Disney classic, Freaky Friday (2003).
Lohan kicked off 2004 with her first big starring vehicle, the comedy Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. Met with mixed reviews and modest box-office receipts, the film didn't prove to be a huge hit. However, it would only be two months before Lohan finally proved she could carry a winner. The Tina Fey-penned Mean Girls debuted at number one, recouping its budget and then some in its first week of release. |
