Lindsay Lohan rocks

On July 2, 1986, Lindsay Morgan Lohan was born in New York City to parents Michael and Dina Lohan.

At the early age of three years, Lindsay was spotted by an agent of the Ford Modeling Agency where she signed on to be their child model. (She was the first redheaded child ever signed by the prestigious Ford Modeling Agency)

She was on her way to stardom. As a child model, she mostly did print ads based around her hometown in Long Island and New York City. People in the business quickly recognized her talent, and she was hired to shoot more than 60 commercials; including spots for Pizza Hut, Wendy's and Jell-O (with Bill Cosby).

In 1993, Lindsay was one of several New York-area children to appear in a Halloween skit with David Letterman, dressed as garbage ("Things You Find on the Floor of the D-Train"). Within weeks, Letterman left NBC for CBS. The longest journeys always begin with smallest steps. As Lindsay got older she began to broaden her range by doing television commercials. Her face graced the small screen in commercials for some very recognizable companies such as The Gap, Wendy's, and along side Bill Cosby in a Jello commercial. Slowly but surely the world was getting to know her.

Then along came the role of Alexandra (Alli) Fowler on the daytime soap, Another World. Lindsay was the third actress in late 1996 and early 1997 to play "Alexandra 'Alli' Fowler". (AW ran until 1999.)This was her first exposure to acting, and she loved it. The role also showcased her talent nationwide and allowed more and more people to appreciate her abilities. Lindsay spent seven months (December 1996 through July 1997) as Alli, performing a few days a week while going to school.

As she mastered the acting trade, Lindsay knew that she was ready for bigger and better roles. Disney, the name is synonymous with traditional family entertainment. They were looking for someone to fill the rather large shoes of Heyley Mills in a remake of the children's classic The Parent Trap. She sent in her head shot. Waited. She auditioned. Waited. Got the call back. Auditioned, along with seven other girls, once more for the director. Then came the phone call, which would change her life. She got the part. Not just a role, but the role of the seperated from birth twins, Annie James and Hallie Parker. Among such acting heavyweights, Dennis Quaid and Natascha Richardson, Lindsay honed her talent. She displayed her abilities each day on the set amazing her costars almost constantly. And she loved it. July 29, 1998 The Parent Trap opens nationwide and earns Lindsay raves. Her star was now shining brightly, yet she chose to be a little girl. Skipping out on the role of Penny in Inspector Gadget, Lindsay goes home to be a regular girl. She does a few modeling shoots for Calvin Klien, Abercrombie & Fitch, and DKNY, but still goes to school and hangs with her friends.

Lindsay was officially recognized for her talent as well; earning a Young Artist Award for Leading Actress (which she shared with Stepmom's Jena Malone), and nominations for a Young Star Award and a Blockbuster Entertainment Award.

After turning down the role of Penny in Inspector Gadget (1999), she returned to the small screen to star in the made-for-TV movies Life-Size (2000) (TV) and Get a Clue (2002) (TV), as well as appearing as Rose in the pilot episode of the short-lived comedy series "Bette" (2000).

In 2000, Lindsay won the role of "Rose" in Bette Midler's television sitcom, Bette. After shooting the pilot episode, the show's producers decided it would be easier on the crew — most of whom lived near Los Angeles — if filming moved to California. Lindsay gave up the role to stay in New York, and Los Angeles-area actress Marina Malota was pegged to take over the role of Midler's teen-aged daughter. The series was canceled only a few months later, due to sagging ratings and the strain on its stars (ironically, Midler had to fly cross-country from her New York home to tape her own show).

Two years after filming "Life Size", in 2002, Lindsay landed another role in a Disney movie. Lindsay got the part of Lexy Golding in the Disney television movie "Get A Clue". After five years of being away from the large screen Lindsay was ready to return. Lohan took a brief hiatus from acting. Her music career was launched during this time. In September, 2002, Lindsay appeared poised to fulfill her lifelong dream of becoming a singer when one of the biggest names in music, Emilio Estefan, Jr., took Lindsay under his professional wing. Estefan Enterprises announced a five-album production deal and the promise of an aggressive effort to "sell" her pop style "with a rock edge" to a major record label.

At the same time, she was cast opposite Jamie Lee Curtis for another Disney remake, this time of the fantasy comedy Freaky Friday (1976), as disgruntled teenage daughter Anna Coleman. Freaky Friday (2003) was a huge hit, and critics were spellbound by delightful performances from both Lohan and Curtis (who went on to receive a Golden Globe nomination for her work), as well as their hilarious on-screen chemistry as mother and daughter. Lohan relocated permanently to Los Angeles between projects, and moved into an apartment with fellow actress Raven, after they met and became friends at a photo shoot for "Vanity Fair" magazine.

In 2003, Lindsay accepted the lead role in Disney's Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (originally a New Line project written for Hilary Duff, who had to pass due to her full schedule). Filmed in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and in New York City, Queen was released in theatres on 20 February 2004.

Lohan kicked off 2004 with her first big starring vehicle, the comedy Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. Met with mixed reviews and modest box-office receipts, the film didn't prove to be a huge hit. However, it would only be two months before Lohan finally proved she could carry a winner. She is also set to star in the films Dramarama (2005) , as a gifted drama student in a poverty-stricken family, and Gossip Girl (2005), as popular high schooler Blair Waldorf.

With all of this work and such stort amounts of time, Lindsay has little time to enjoy being a teenager. But, when she does get free time, Lindsay enjoys going to parties with Paris Hilton. She lives with Disney Channel Star Raven-Symone in LA, while her family is in New York.
