Lindsay Lohan's biography

Lindsay Lohan is a controversial actress who made her film debut in The Parent Trap at age 11. Early fame took its toll, leading to struggles with alcohol, drugs, personal relationships, career setbacks, and financial troubles. The once-promising actress and singer became one of Hollywood's most troubled stars, alongside figures like Britney Spears. Net worth: $1 million.

Lindsay Lohan's childhood. First roles

Lindsay was born in New York on July 2, 1986. From early on, it was clear this little girl would never lead an ordinary life stuck in a stuffy office, and not just because she was an unusually artistic and restless child. Lindsay's parents were very wealthy people who could afford to fulfill any wish of their beloved daughter.

The actress's dad, Michael Lohan, was once a major pasta entrepreneur with a criminal past who traded on the stock exchange, but then sold the multi-million-dollar business he'd inherited from his father and began financing independent Hollywood projects. Lindsay's mother, Dina Lohan (now a well-known socialite), tried her hand at acting but didn't achieve much success, so she decided to live out her dream through little Li-Lo.

That's why Lindsay became a regular at all kinds of auditions from early childhood. The golden-red freckled little girl with thick braids was noticed almost immediately. Representatives from the Ford modeling agency were the first to notice Lindsay's unique personality and talent. Soon the little girl was appearing in commercials for Wendy's, Jell-O, and Pizza Hut. At that time, she was barely three years old.

Lindsay Lohan's career began with advertising

Lindsay Lohan began building her movie career at age 10 when she was offered a role in the TV series Another World as Alli Fowler in 1996. She appeared in only a few episodes, but participating in the long-running popular series paid off ‒ by 1998, a film was released where Lindsay Lohan played the lead role.

In the sweet family comedy The Parent Trap, the 12-year-old had to play twin girls Hallie and Annie who looked exactly alike. Despite looking identical, her characters had completely different personalities. But Lindsay handled her first major challenge brilliantly and deservedly basked in her first taste of fame in July 1998. The role earned Lohan several awards including Young Actress of the Year and Breakthrough of the Year, plus a three-film contract with Disney.

In The Parent Trap Lindsay Lohan played two roles at once

Dina Lohan took charge of coordinating all the business aspects of her daughter's rapidly rising career. Despite having three younger children (Michael, Aliana, and Dakota) who desperately needed attention, she actively promoted Lindsay, though she did it strategically. Dina clearly understood that if she ruthlessly exploited her daughter, Lindsay's screen image would fade and she'd go from young talent to mediocre actress. Therefore, she carefully selected the best of hundreds of offers.

Lindsay Lohan's parents contributed to their daughter's career

That's why it took two years for Lindsay to return to the big screen. She landed another role in the family comedy Life-Size. The plot was built on the emotional experiences of teenage girl Casey, who lost her mother. She brings her doll (Tyra Banks) to life with a magic spell, never realizing that dolls can have feelings too.

A year later, Lindsay joined the cast of the teen series Bette for its first episodes. But the demanding schedule proved too much, so Lindsay walked away and let another actress take over.

In 2002, 16-year-old Lindsay played the curious Lexy in the adventure comedy Get a Clue. But this story about kids investigating their missing teacher failed to wow audiences. The problem might have been that Spy Kids had premiered the year before with Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino, and audiences couldn't help comparing the two films ‒ unfortunately, Lindsay's movie came up short.

Despite constantly working on sets, Lindsay excelled at school, found time for sports, and even mastered other areas of showbiz. For example, in 2002 she signed a contract with music label Estefan Enterprises to record five albums.

Lindsay Lohan: The Path to Success

In 2003, Li-Lo returned to the big screen as the lead actress in Mark Waters' new film. It was Freaky Friday, a body-swap comedy where mother and daughter switch places, which became Lindsay Lohan's first major box office hit. Inimitable Jamie Lee Curtis played the girl's strict mom. The film also featured Lindsay's song "Ultimate" for the first time. The film brought Lindsay the MTV Award in the Breakthrough of the Year category and inspired Mark Waters to invite the girl to his next film.

Freaky Friday ‒ one of Lindsay Lohan's best films

The iconic teen comedy Mean Girls followed Cady, an extraordinary teenage girl who had been homeschooled her entire life. When she finally enters public school, she unknowingly falls for the boyfriend of the school's queen bee, played by Rachel McAdams. The web of drama and shocking revelations about high school politics won over audiences (especially teen girls), and Lindsay Lohan added another MTV award to her collection, this time for Best Female Performance.

In the same 2004, she starred in the comedy Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen with Adam Garcia and Glenne Headly. On the set, Lindsay met a beginner actress Megan Fox who played Carla, Lindsay's character's main rival.

According to Zoomboola.com, meanwhile, she continued pursuing music and signed with Casablanca Records in mid-2004. Later that year, her debut album Speak was released. The album was launched with the single "Rumors", and the album itself quickly reached the fourth position in the national charts and received platinum status. Fans were impressed by the actress's versatility and predicted she'd achieve Avril Lavigne-level fame. During this time, the press buzzed with rumors that Madonna herself wanted to collaborate with Lindsay.

Mattel Inc (the maker of Barbie dolls) even created a Li-Lo doll complete with her signature copper-red hair and freckles, putting the girl on a par with Britney Spears, Naomi Campbell, and Marilyn Monroe.

Lindsay Lohan's Drug Addiction. Problems with Law

The busy schedule (only in 2005, Lindsey had to play in five films and release a new album) and the stress led the actress to sad consequences. The high life that comes with fame hit the young actress hard ‒ she had just turned 18 years old. Lindsay became a regular at endless Hollywood parties, and soon the tabloids were interspersed with unsightly photos: Lindsay with a bottle, drunk Lindsay at the wheel, shockingly thin Lindsay...

Lindsay Lohan started having problems with alcohol at the age of 18

Much later, the star's father, Michael Lohan, told the press that it was in 2005 that his daughter first tried drugs. One time led to another and another... During the filming of the comedy Herbie: Fully Loaded, Lindsay's worried agent called Michael and said the girl had nearly died from a cocaine overdose. The press was told that the hospitalization was due to kidney inflammation caused by stress from personal problems.

Herbie: Fully Loaded failed at the box office

Herbie: Fully Loaded was declared as a failure, and Lindsay disappeared from the public eye for a while. She underwent a rehabilitation course within a month. Her family and doctors helped her return to normal life and filming. After treatment, the girl tried to make a comeback in family comedy and starred in the film Just My Luck. Her character, an unusually lucky beauty, accidentally kisses an unlucky guy, and her luck transfers to him with the kiss. Unfortunately, the film failed, and Lindsay even won the anti-award from the Golden Raspberry Awards as Worst Actress of the year.

Around this time, serious problems began between Lindsay Lohan's parents. Her father often behaved erratically and accused his wife of derailing Lindsay's life. Soon the couple signed an agreement on separation. The young actress felt caught in the middle and often blamed herself for not being able to save their relationship.

People began seeing her in nightclubs again ‒ the troubled star openly snorted cocaine and drank massive amounts of alcohol, then performed wild, provocative dances on the bar. Trying to hide her drinking binges from her parents, she often had friends pay for her drinks so alcohol wouldn't show up on her credit card statements. The actress always carried a water bottle, but only her closest friends knew it actually contained vodka mixed with soda.

There were legends about Lindsay Lohan drunken adventures

Lindsay's film career seemed to be on an upward trajectory. Audiences and critics praised her work in two very different projects ‒ the historical drama Bobby about Robert Kennedy's assassination and the psychological thriller Chapter 27 with Jared Leto, where she played a John Lennon fan who befriends his killer. Both Sharon Stone and Meryl Streep praised working with her, confirming that she truly comes alive in front of the camera. But only crew members knew how difficult Lindsay could be to work with ‒ constantly late and disrupting the shooting schedule.

In May 2006, Lindsay Lohan's legal troubles began. Police arrested her for drunk driving, and when they searched her car, they found a substance that looked like cocaine. Under pressure from family, Lohan entered drug rehab again at the Promises treatment center in Malibu. She stayed for a month, then went with her lawyer to the police station to be fingerprinted.

Just days later, the actress was involved in an incident with her personal assistant's mother. Witnesses saw the actress shouting and gesturing wildly at the woman in a Santa Monica parking lot, prompting police to respond to the victim's call. Lindsay was taken to the police station for blood tests. Tests revealed the actress had consumed a significant amount of alcohol. Police also found cocaine in her pocket.

Lindsay Lohan and the police: the eternal relationship

Lindsay Lohan faced charges again for drunk driving and drug possession. The actress was released on $25,000 bail. Following the incident, she returned to rehab. The court still imposed penalties ‒ Lindsay Lohan received one day in jail, ten days of community service, a fine, and three years' probation. While Lindsay couldn't avoid community service, she was released from jail after just two hours due to overcrowding, according to police.

Georgia Rule ‒ a new round of glory?

In 2007, audiences who caught the newly released drama Georgia Rule were convinced that Lindsay Lohan had finally found her footing in serious cinema. Casting the actress in the lead role was a no-brainer ‒ spoiled, troubled Rachel was practically tailor-made for the real Lindsay.

Production stretched across two grueling months. Filming was constantly disrupted, and Li-Lo was always the culprit: showing up late, missing work entirely, nursing brutal hangovers ... Her partner Jane Fonda, who played as Rachel's strict grandmother, said she'd never encountered such reckless, unprofessional behavior in her entire career. One day Lindsay was rushed to the hospital straight from set, officially for sunstroke and dehydration ‒ but everyone knew the real reason was another bender.

After all the scandals Lindsay Lohan finally fell to the bottom

Unfortunately, no breakthrough materialized: over the next three years, Lindsay only appeared in the forgettable thriller I Know Who Killed Me, the comedy Labor Pains, and the brutal action flick Machete. By then, there was nothing left of the charming red-haired girl she once was.

In 2013, Lindsay Lohan again had a drug overdose

Lindsay Lohan's personal life

Lindsay Lohan has always been one of the most talked-about people of American showbiz. The personal life of the outrageous diva caused no less interest than her drunken adventures or problems with drugs.

The first official boyfriend of the 16-year-old actress was the singer Aaron Carter, who was dating two rising stars at the same time ‒ Lindsay and Hilary Duff. When Lindsay found out about his cheating, she didn't hesitate to dump him.

Dina Lohan said that Wilmer Valderrama, the star of That '70s Show, was the first true love of her daughter. After their high-profile romance with Lindsay, he quickly became a hot commodity in Hollywood and earned a reputation as a serial dater of A-list actresses. Many believe he introduced her to LA's wild nightlife scene, which ultimately sent her life off the rails.

During the shooting of Chapter 27, the actress became close to Jared Leto, but the relationship did not continue. Lindsay then stole Paris Hilton's boyfriend away from her former BFF; in 2006, she switched to the eminent restaurateur Harry Morton, and after a rehabilitation course, she started dating TV personality Calum Best.

For three years Lindsay Lohan was dating a girl ‒ DJ Samantha Ronson. Their romance, which started in 2008, was filled with dramatic public breakups, messy reconciliations, and plenty of PDA.

In 2014, Lindsay's complete dating history leaked online, and the list included such famous personalities as Joaquin Phoenix, Justin Timberlake, Orlando Bloom, Benicio del Toro, Colin Farrell, Zac Efron, Heath Ledger, Lukas Haas, Jamie Dornan and many others ‒ 36 people in total.

Lindsay Lohan made the list of her lovers herself

In October 2015, Lindsay Lohan suddenly began a love affair with a 22-year-old Egor Tarabasov. Despite their seven-year age difference, the couple got engaged almost immediately.

Tarabasov had his own real estate business and could easily afford to give her the luxury lifestyle she was used to, especially since the actress declared herself bankrupt and moved to her mother two years before their meeting. They jetted off to Costa Rica's beaches and hit the slopes in the Alps. Lohan even introduced her beloved to her parents, which she had never done before.

But their fairy tale didn't last long ‒ already in the summer of 2016, Lindsay began to provoke the guy to a quarrel. It came to a public fight on the beach in Greece. Shortly after this, the media reported on their break.

The actress apparently found a new boyfriend to replace Tarabasov right there in Greece. Right after the breakup, she started posting photos with her new boyfriend ‒ Greek businessman Dennis Papageorgiou.

In 2016, the actress started appearing at public events wearing a hijab. Fans were puzzled: Had mischievous Lindsay Lohan really converted to Islam? It couldn't be true! But the rumors were confirmed: Lohan announced she'd decided to convert religions and even reset her Instagram page to start fresh. Her first post in this new chapter was a photo with Turkish President Recep Erdogan's family. In March 2017, she announced plans to launch a fashionable Muslim clothing line.

Lindsay Lohan now

In recent years, Lindsay Lohan has rarely appeared in films. Her latest film appearances include the black comedy Scary Movie 5, where she had a small cameo for $200,000, and the low-budget drama The Canyons, which earned just $56,000 at the box office ‒ five times less than what was spent on production. Lindsay was paid only $100 per shooting day, but she was willing to work for that amount and even agreed to a very explicit scene.

Even then, Lindsay was constantly on the verge of being fired for breaking the work schedule. Afterward, the New York Times published a scathing article titled "This is what happens when you take Lindsay Lohan to star in a movie."

Now Lindsay Lohan still leads an active party lifestyle

In 2018, a low-budget Mexican horror film Among the Shadows starring Lindsay Lohan was set to hit theaters.

In June 2019, Lindsay Lohan thrilled fans by announcing her return to show business. Over the next year, the singer announced several new singles and duets that would be included on her new album. Its release is scheduled for 2020.

Wow, I still thought that Lohan was exactly the same as Spy Children, but it was really her! Film of my childhood.

Ever since childhood, I love the film «The Parent Trap». This movie is so family-like, positive. And I also thought that this was not just Lindsay Lohan, but that these were two twin girls.

In short, the parents played on it. Since the mother did not manage to become an actress, she pushed her daughter into this sphere. Well, you can see for yourself how it all turned out for «baby» Lindsay...

Haha Lindsay is a really scandalous person. Nevertheless, I remember her in such a light film «Georgia Rule», it will fit for the evening.
