6	Lindsay Morgan Lohan (Lohan like BOWEN, LO-WEN; born July 2, 1986) is an American actress, model, singer and songwriter.
7
8	A former child actor and model, Lohan rose to fame when she began acting and landed several major film roles, notably the Disney remakes of ''Film/{{The Parent Trap\|1998}}'' and ''Film/{{Freaky Friday\|2003}}'', then later in the Creator/TinaFey-penned 2004 film ''Film/MeanGirls''.

10	Lohan was anointed by the media as [[HollywoodHypeMachine the "next big thing"]]. Unfortunately, the newfound attention from the media got to her, and she started drinking while underage (with her own mother no less) and partying all the time. Soon she ended up with two D.U.I.s, two more arrests for drug possession, and went under rehabilitation which slowed down her career considerably and since then she's been more well-known for her legal troubles than her acting career.

54	----
55	!!Provides examples of:
56	* AdamWesting: Her advertisement for [[https://youtu.be/F6g85lp2wJc eHarmony]].
57	** Her best example is in ''Film/{{Machete}}'', just read it there.
58	** Her role in ''Scary Movie 5''.
59	** Played herself like this in ''Film/AngerManagement''.
60	* BreakUpSong: ''If It's Alright'', ''Over'', ''If You Were Me'', ''Black Hole''.
61	* CallingTheOldManOut: "Confessions Of A Broken Heart" qualifies.
62	* CoverVersion: "[[Music/CheapTrick I Want You to Want Me]]" and "[[Music/StevieNicks Edge of Seventeen]]" on her second album.
63	* FieryRedhead: She's a natural red and has played quite a few feisty characters.
64	* FollowYourHeart ''La Bella Vita'', ''Fastlane'', ''Disconnected'', ''I Live For The Day'', ''Anything But Me''
65	* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: Believe it or not, Lindsey says the proper pronunciation of her surname is "Low-an" (the H is silent); despite this, people tend to pronounce it like it's spelt.
66	* LoveNostalgiaSong: "Something I Never Had", "Black Hole"
67	* LonelyAtTheTop: "Fastlane", "People come and go like rain".
68	* {{Medley}}: In her Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen movie soundtrack: "Don't Move On/Living for the City/Changes" Medley.
69	* PlayingTheirOwnTwin: Most famously in ''The Parent Trap'', where she played twin sisters Hallie and and Annie. She also played both Aubrey and Dakota in ''I Know Who Killed Me'', who are revealed to be twins who were separated at birth.
70	* RockstarSong: ''Fastlane'', ''A Beautiful Life (La Bella Vita)'' and ''Rumours'' are examples of this trope.
71	* SanitySlippageSong: "Fastlane", "A Beautiful Life (La Bella Vita)", "Anything But Me", "Disconnected", "I Live For The Day" and there are probably more...
72	* SillyLoveSongs: ''Who Loves You'', ''Very Last Moment In Time'', ''Symptoms of You'', "Ultimate".
73	* StarDerailingRole: The critical and commercial failure of 2007 thriller ''I Know Who Killed Me'', in conjunction with Lohan going through a lot of highly-publicized personal issues at the time, derailed her then-promising acting career. She subsequently appeared in mostly low-budget indie or {{Made For TV Movie}}s that didn't get much attention and/or were poorly-received, or had guest roles on TV shows. Since the early 2020s, she's been making a bit of a comeback by starring in romantic comedies on Netflix, though only time will tell if her career returns to its former heights.
