Lindsay Dee Lohan ( LOH-ən; born July 2, 1986) is an American actress, singer, and producer. She was signed to Ford Models at the age of three, and gained early recognition as a child actress on the soap operas Guiding Light (1993) and Another World (1996–1997). Her breakthrough role came with the dual role of reunited identical twins in the Walt Disney comedy The Parent Trap (1998); its success led to subsequent roles in Life-Size (2000), Get a Clue (2002), Freaky Friday (2003) and Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004). Her portrayal of Cady Heron in the teen comedy Mean Girls (2004) affirmed her status as a teen idol and established her as a prominent leading lady; The New Yorker later ranked it as the eleventh-best film performance of the 21st century. Lohan signed with Casablanca Records and released two studio albums, the platinum-certified Speak (2004) and gold-certified A Little More Personal (Raw) (2005). She also starred in the comedies Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005) and Just My Luck (2006). To show her range, Lohan began choosing roles in independent films such as A Prairie Home Companion and Bobby (both 2006) and Chapter 27 (2007). Her behavior during the filming of the 2006 dramedy Georgia Rule marked the beginning of personal struggles that plagued her life and career for nearly a decade, making her a fixture in the tabloid press due to legal issues and rehabilitation stints. In an attempt to return to acting, she appeared in Machete (2010), Liz & Dick (2012) and The Canyons (2013). Guided by Oprah Winfrey, Lohan was the subject of the docu-series Lindsay (2014). She made her stage debut in the London West End production of Speed-the-Plow (2014), and appeared in the comedy series Sick Note (2018). Lohan starred in the Netflix romantic comedies Falling for Christmas (2022), Irish Wish (2024) and Our Little Secret (2024), which she followed with Freakier Friday (2025). Lohan's accolades include three MTV Movie & TV Awards, in addition to nominations for three Critics' Choice Movie Awards, a Saturn Award, and a Screen Actors Guild Award. Outside entertainment, Lohan launched a clothing line in 2008, and several clubs in Greece between 2016 and 2018. She appeared on Forbes' annual Celebrity 100 list from 2004 to 2005. People has named her among the most beautiful women in the world four times, most recently in 2024. In 2007, Maxim ranked her number one on their annual ranking of the world's most desirable women. Lohan is married and has one son.
