Lindsay Dee Lohan born on July 2, 1986, in New York City. Lohan's father, Michael Lohan, ran his family's pasta business and worked as an investment banker. Her mother, Donata "Dina" Sullivan, was a Wall Street analyst. Lohan grew up in the wealthy Long Island suburbs of Cold Spring Harbor and Merrick.
Stints as a child model and commercial actress brought Lohan into the spotlight at the age of three. The star of more than 60 television spots and 100 print ads for clients like Toys 'R Us and Duncan Hines helped Lohan land the film role of twin sisters in Disney's 1998 remake of The Parent Trap. In the film, the sisters—one raised in England and the other in the U.S.—try to reunite their long-divorced parents, played by Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson. The movie performed well at the box office, making more than $92 million globally.


Lohan's success resulted in more Disney film roles, including the remake  Freaky Friday (2003) also starring Jamie Lee Curtis. Her next role with  Disney, the pre-teen comedy, Confessions of Teenage Drama Queen (2004),  brought mild success. But it was her starring role in Paramount's film  Mean Girls, written by comedian Tina Fey, that turned Lohan into a bona  fide star. The movie recieved both popular and critical success; it  became the 24th highest grossing movie of 2004 and earned Lohan a Teen's  Choice Award and an MTV movie award for her performance.


As her celebrity status grew, so did Lohan's attendance at New York  nightclubs. Her wild party lifestyle made Lohan instant tabloid fodder  in recent years, from her father's prison scandals to rumors of her own  struggles with bulimia. On May 26, 2007, Lohan was arrested after  crashing her Mercedes-Benz crashed into a tree in Beverly Hills. She was  arrested again July 24 in Santa Monica after she allegedly engaged in a  car chase with the mother of her former personal assistant.


In both cases, Lohan was found in possession of small amounts of  cocaine, below the .05 grams required for the more serious felony  charges of drug possession, according to the Los Angeles District  Attorney's office. After all her legal run-ins, Lohan was only charged  with two counts each of driving under the influence, and a single count  of reckless driving.
Tracie Rice, a woman who was a passenger in a  car Lohan was accused of chasing on July 24, 2007, sued the star for  assault and negligence.



 Lohan dodged felony charges when she reached a plea deal on misdemeanor  drunken driving and cocaine charges on August 23. She got the minimum:  four days in jail and credit for 24 hours already served. The sentence  was then knocked down to one day in jail for doing 10 days of community  service at a mortuary and in a hospital emergency room. That one day  became 84 minutes because of overcrowding at the jail. Lohan turned  herself in to the Los Angeles County women's detention center in  Lynwood. She was searched, fingerprinted and put in a holding cell in  the inmate reception area. She got to stay in her street clothes.  Officials denied she received special treatment.
