Lindsay Morgan Lohan (born July 2, 1986) is an American model, pop singer and actress.
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
The Parent Trap and
Freaky Friday, then later in the
Tina Fey-penned 2004 film
Mean Girls.
Lohan was anointed by the media as
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 and went under rehabilitation which slowed down her career considerably and since then she's been more well-known for her legal troubles than acting career.
