Sexy Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay Morgan Lohan born July 2, 1986 is an American actress, fashion designer, model and recording artist. She began her career as a child fashion model when she was three, and was later featured on the soap opera Another World for a year when she was 10. At age 11, Lohan made her motion picture debut in Disney’s remake of The Parent Trap (1998), a critical and commercial hit. Her next motion picture, Disney’s remake of Freaky Friday (2003), was also a success at the box office and with critics. With the release of Mean Girls (2004), another critical and commercial success, Lohan became a household name and a frequent target of paparazzi and tabloids. The two films earned her several MTV Movie Awards and Teen Choice Awards. Lohan’s debut studio album, Speak (2004), was certified platinum. Her second album, A Little More Personal (Raw) (2005), was certified gold. Earlier in 2005, Lohan starred in Disney’s Herbie: Fully Loaded, another box office success. In 2006, she received positive comments on her work in independent films, including Robert Altman’s A Prairie Home Companion and Emilio Estevez’s Bobby. In 2007, two driving under the influence incidents led to Lohan being put on probation, and together with three visits to rehabilitation facilities caused the loss of several movie deals. In 2008 and 2009, Lohan worked as a fashion model and launched the clothing line 6126. She resumed her acting career with recurring appearances in the TV series Ugly Betty in 2008 and starred in the TV film Labor Pains in 2009. She was featured in Robert Rodriguez’s feature film Machete (2010). She spent much of 2010 and 2011 entangled in legal problems stemming from probation violations and a necklace theft. After her supervised probation was lifted in 2012, she did further television work, including starring as Elizabeth Taylor in the biographical TV film Liz & Dick (2012).
Lindsay Dee Lohan was born on July 2, 1986 in New York City and grew up in Merrick and Cold Spring Harbor on Long Island, New York. She is the eldest child of Dina Lohan (born Donata Melina Nicolette Sullivan) and Michael Douglas Lohan, Sr. Lindsay has three younger siblings, all of whom have been models or actors: Michael Jr. (who appeared with Lindsay in The Parent Trap), Aliana “Ali”, and Dakota “Cody”, the youngest Lohan child. Both of Lohan’s parents are of Irish and Italian descent; she was raised as a Catholic. Some of her maternal antecedents were “well known Irish Catholic stalwarts” and her great-grandfather, John L. Sullivan, was a co-founder of the Pro-life Party in Long Island. Lohan attended Cold Spring Harbor High School, where she did well in science and mathematics, until grade 11, when she started homeschooling. Lohan’s parents have a turbulent history. They married in 1985, separated when she was three, and later reunited.They separated again in 2005 and finalized their divorce in 2007. Her father, Michael, is a former Wall Street trader who has been in trouble with the law on several occasions, while her mother, Dina, is a former singer and dancer.Lohan began her career as a child model with Ford Models at the age of three. She modeled for Calvin Klein Kids and Abercrombie Kids, and appeared in over 60 television commercials for brands like Pizza Hut and Wendy’s, as well as a Jell-O spot with Bill Cosby. By the age of 10, when Lohan played Alexandra “Alli” Fowler in the television soap opera Another World, Soap Opera Magazine said she was already considered a show-business veteran. Lohan remained in the role for a year, before leaving to star in Disney’s 1998 family comedy The Parent Trap, a remake of the 1961 movie. She played dual roles of estranged twins who try to reunite their long-divorced parents, played by Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson. The film earned $92 million worldwide, and received largely positive reviews. Critic Kenneth Turan called Lohan “the soul of this film as much as Hayley Mills was of the original”, going on to say that “she is more adept than her predecessor at creating two distinct personalities”. The film won Lohan a Young Artist Award for best performance in a feature film as well as a three-film contract with Disney. At the age of 14, Lohan played Bette Midler’s daughter in the pilot episode of the short-lived series, Bette, but resigned her role when the production moved from New York to Los Angeles. She also starred in two Disney television movies: Life-Size opposite Tyra Banks in 2000, and Get a Clue in 2002. Lohan starred alongside Jamie Lee Curtis in the 2003 remake of Disney’s family comedy Freaky Friday. At Lohan’s initiative, her character was rewritten and changed from a Goth style to be more relatable. Critic Roger Ebert wrote that Lohan “has that Jodie Foster sort of seriousness and intent focus beneath her teenage persona.” Freaky Friday earned Lohan the award for Breakthrough Performance at the 2004 MTV Movie Awards and, as of 2012, it remains her most commercially successful film, earning $160 million worldwide as well as an 88 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.In 2004, Lohan had two lead roles. The first film, Disney’s teen musical Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, earned a domestic box office total of $29 million, with Brandon Gray of Box Office Mojo commenting that it was “well above expectations as it was strictly for young girls.” But the film did not meet with critical acclaim. Robert K. Elder of Chicago Tribune wrote that, “though still a promising star, Lohan will have to do a little penance before she’s forgiven for Confessions.” Her second lead role in 2004 in the teen comedy Mean Girls marked Lohan’s first movie independent of Disney. The film was a critical and commercial success, grossing $129 million worldwide and, according to Brandon Gray, “cementing her status as the new teen movie queen.” Mick LaSalle from the San Francisco Chronicle wrote that “Lohan is sensitive and appealing, a solid locus for audience sympathy.” David Rooney from Variety said that “Lohan displays plenty of charm, verve and deft comic timing”. Lohan received four awards at the 2004 Teen Choice Awards for Freaky Friday and Mean Girls, including Breakout Movie Star. Mean Girls also earned her two awards at the 2005 MTV Movie Awards.Following Mean Girls, which was scripted by Tina Fey and featured several alumni of Saturday Night Live, Lohan hosted the show three times between 2004 and 2006. In 2004, when Lohan was 17, she became the youngest host of the MTV Movie Awards and in 2006 she hosted the 2006 World Music Awards. With Mean Girls, Lohan’s public profile was raised significantly. Vanity Fair described how she became a household name. Paparazzi began following her and her love life and partying became frequent targets of gossip sites and the tabloid media.
Aiming to become a triple threat – actor, singer and dancer, similar to Ann-Margret and Marilyn Monroe — Lohan began showcasing her singing through her film work. For the Freaky Friday soundtrack, she sang the closing theme, “Ultimate,” and she also contributed songs to the Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen soundtrack. Producer Emilio Estefan, Jr. signed Lohan to a five-album production deal in 2002. Two years later, she signed a recording contract with Casablanca Records, headed by Tommy Mottola. Speak, Lohan’s début album, was released in December 2004, peaking at number four on the Billboard 200 and earning Platinum certification by early 2005. Primarily a pop/rock album, she co-wrote several of the songs. It was praised by Linda McGee of RTÉ, who awarded it 4 out of 5 stars and commented that “Speak opens with all the raw emotion and teenage angst that you’d expect from an artist of Lohan’s age,” as well as comparing the album to the music of Avril Lavigne. Allmusic, however, awarded it 2 out of 5 stars and said the album “feels more like a byproduct of an overdriven, overamplified celebrity culture than an actual album.” Speak was introduced with the single “Rumors,” which details Lohan’s issues with gossip and paparazzi, and which eventually earned a Gold certification in the United States. Lohan returned to Disney in 2005, starring in the comedy Herbie: Fully Loaded, the fifth film in the series with the anthropomorphic car Herbie.
Fully Loaded earned $144 million worldwide and received mixed reviews. Stephen Holden of The New York Times called Lohan “a genuine star who … seems completely at home on the screen”, while James Berardinelli wrote that, “as bright a starlet as she may be, Lohan ends up playing second fiddle to the car.” While shooting the film in 2004, Lohan was hospitalized with a kidney infection brought on by stress in her personal life and of recording her first album while the film was in production, prompting Vanity Fair to label it Lohan’s “first disastrous shoot.” Lohan began dating actor Wilmer Valderrama in 2004. She also guest-starred in an episode of That ’70s Show where Valderrama was a regular. According to Vanity Fair, the breakup with Valderrama contributed to Lohan’s issues during the Herbie shoot. In 2005, Lohan became the first person to have a My Scene celebrity doll released by Mattel. She also voiced herself in the animated direct-to-DVD film My Scene Goes Hollywood, based on the series of dolls. Lohan’s second album, A Little More Personal (Raw), was released in December 2005. It peaked at number 20 on the Billboard 200 chart, and was eventually certified Gold. Lohan co-wrote most of the songs on the album, which received a mixed critical response. Slant Magazine called it “contrived … for all the so-called weighty subject matter, there’s not much meat on these bones.” The music video for the album’s first single, “Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)”, was directed by Lohan and features her sister, Ali Lohan. The video is a dramatization of the pain Lohan said her family suffered at the hands of her father. It was her first song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 57. Lohan’s parents legally separated in December 2005 and finalized their divorce in 2007. She spoke in 2007 about her childhood: “I feel like a second parent in the sense that I helped raise my family…I was put between my mother and father a lot.” Despite the conflicts, Lohan has described herself as “a family girl” and has spoken very fondly of her family, including her father. However, in 2007, 2008 and again in 2009 she said that she was no longer in contact with him, describing his unpredictable behavior as hard to deal with. Lohan spent several years living out of hotels in Los Angeles, of which two years were spent at Chateau Marmont. In late 2007, after settling down in more permanent residence, she explained that she “didn’t want to be alone” but that “it wasn’t a way of life … not very consistent.” She had a series of car accidents that were widely reported, in August 2004, October 2005, and November 2006, when she suffered minor injuries because a paparazzo who was following her for a photograph hit her car. Lohan’s next widely released film, the romantic comedy Just My Luck, opened in May 2006 and, according to Variety, earned her over $7 million. The opening weekend box office takings of $5.7 million “broke lead actress Lindsay Lohan’s winning streak” according to Brandon Gray. The film received poor reviews and earned Lohan her first Golden Raspberry nomination for Worst Actress.
Following Just My Luck, Lohan focused on smaller roles in more mature, independent movies. Robert Altman’s ensemble comedy A Prairie Home Companion, in which Lohan co-stars with Meryl Streep and Lily Tomlin, had a limited release in June 2006. Peter Travers wrote for Rolling Stone that “Lohan rises to the occasion, delivering a rock-the-house version of ‘Frankie and Johnny’.” Co-star Streep said of Lohan’s acting: “She’s in command of the art form” and “completely, visibly living in front of the camera.” The Emilio Estevez drama Bobby was released in theaters in November 2006. Lohan received favorable comments for her performance, particularly a scene opposite Sharon Stone. As part of the Bobby ensemble cast, Lohan was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award.Lohan’s next appearance was in Chapter 27 as a John Lennon fan who befriends Mark David Chapman, played by Jared Leto, on the day he murders Lennon. Filming finished in early 2006, but the film was not released until March 2008 due to difficulties in finding a distributor. In May 2007, the drama Georgia Rule, in which Lohan stars alongside Felicity Huffman and Jane Fonda, was released. Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly wrote that “Lohan hits a true note of spiteful princess narcissism.” During filming in 2006, Lohan was hospitalized, her representative saying “she was overheated and dehydrated.” At the time Lohan was going through a breakup with restaurant owner Harry Morton which contributed to her problems on the set, according to Allure. In a letter that was made public, studio executive James G. Robinson called Lohan “irresponsible and unprofessional.” He mentioned “various late arrivals and absences from the set” and said that “we are well aware that your ongoing all night heavy partying is the real reason for your so-called ‘exhaustion’.” In 2006, Lohan attended Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Lohan, who has suffered from asthma since the age of two, is also a smoker. In early January 2007, production on the film I Know Who Killed Me was put on hold when Lohan underwent appendix surgery. Later in the month, Lohan admitted herself to the Wonderland Center rehabilitation facility. Lohan checked out on February 16, 2007 after completing a 30-day stay. During the stay she continued shooting the film, returning to the facility at night. Shortly thereafter, 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.” Lohan was replaced in The Edge of Love in April 2007, shortly 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.” In May 2007, Lohan dated British TV personality Calum Best. Lohan was then cast in the film Poor Things. On May 26, four days before production was set to start, she lost control of her car and ran it up a curb. After receiving treatment for minor injuries, she was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI.) The film’s producers initially voiced support and production was put on hold as Lohan entered the Promises Treatment Center rehabilitation facility where she stayed for 45 days. Upon her release to outpatient care, Lohan was voluntarily fitted with a SCRAM bracelet to monitor her sobriety. On July 24, three weeks before filming was scheduled to resume on Poor Things, Lohan refused a field sobriety test and was taken to a police station where her blood alcohol level was found to be above the legal limit. The police also found a small amount of cocaine in her pocket. She was booked on charges of possession of cocaine, driving under the influence and driving with a suspended license. In August Lohan entered the Cirque Lodge Treatment Center in Sundance, Utah for a third stint at rehabilitation, staying for three months until discharge in October. While in rehab Lohan met and dated snowboarder Riley Giles. Ultimately Lohan was replaced in the Poor Things production. In the wake of her second DUI arrest, Lohan withdrew from a scheduled appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in which she had been due to promote I Know Who Killed Me, a low-budget thriller-mystery in which she stars as a stripper with a dual personality. The film premiered to what Entertainment Weekly called “an abysmal $3.5 million. It earned Lohan dual Golden Raspberry awards for Worst Actress, with Lohan coming first and second, tying with herself. Hollywood executives and industry insiders commented that it would be difficult for Lohan to find employment until she could prove that she was sober and reliable, citing possible issues with securing insurance. On August 23, 2007, Lohan pleaded guilty to misdemeanor cocaine use and driving under the influence and was sentenced to one day imprisonment and 10 days community service. She was also ordered to pay fines and complete an alcohol education program, and was given three years probation. Lohan released a statement in which she said “it is clear to me that my life has become completely unmanageable because I am addicted to alcohol and drugs.” On November 15, 2007, Lohan served 84 minutes in jail. A sheriff spokesman cited overcrowding and the nonviolent nature of the crime as reasons for the reduced sentence. Following a switch to Universal Motown, Lohan began working on a third album, tentatively titled Spirit in the Dark, in late 2007. In May 2008 the single “Bossy” was released, which reached number one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. In November 2008, Lohan said that work on the album had stalled and that she wanted to avoid the stress of working on movies and music at the same time.
