Lindsay Lohan biography - Sexy Famous Celebrities

Lindsay Morgan Lohan was born in New York City on July 2, 1986. Her mother Dina is a former Radio City "Rockette" while her father Michael was a long-time Wall Street trader before he struck it rich with a family pasta business. He has now redirected his energies into film development and producing.

Along with her three younger siblings, Michael, Aliana and Dakota, Lindsay was raised in Long Island. Lindsay was such a natural beauty that she began modeling at the age of 3. In fact, she was the first redheaded child ever signed by the renowned Ford Modeling Agency.

But Lindsay Lohan wasn't just a pretty child; she was also talented. Capitalizing on her flair for performing, she was cast in over 60 TV commercials for companies such as Abercrombie & Fitch, Wendy's, the Gap, Pizza Hut, Calvin Klein, and Jell-O, in which she shared the screen with Bill Cosby.

When she was 7, Lindsay was required to dress up as garbage for a Halloween skit on the Late Show with David Letterman called "Things You Find on the Bottom of the Subway." It was her first real acting job.

In 1996, Lindsay got her second big break when she was cast on the long-running NBC soap opera, Another World. For only one season, she became the third actress to portray Alexandra "Alli" Fowler.

Shortly after, she hit the highway to fame when Disney sought to remake the hugely successful family comedy, The Parent Trap (1961). There was a six-month casting search and in January 1997, Lindsay got a phone call from director Nancy Meyers to announce that she had received the role that Hayley Mills made popular in the early '60s.

In the 1998 version, Lindsay starred as estranged twin sisters Hallie Parker and Annie James, who meet for the first time while at summer camp and later devise a plan to make their parents fall in love again. Not only was it a blockbuster, but Lindsay also came away with a Young Artist Award for Leading Young Actress, which she shared with Jena Malone (Stepmom).

In addition, she also got a three-picture deal with Disney, thanks to this movie. Although she turned down the part of Penny in Inspector Gadget (1999), her next move was to appear in the Wonderful World of Disney production of Life-Size (2000), a comedy also featuring supermodel Tyra Banks.

In 2000, Bette Midler was slated to star in a new sitcom called Bette, and Lindsay was cast as her daughter, Rose. But once the pilot was shot, the producers decided to move the production from New York to Los Angeles. Wanting to stay in New York, Lindsay left the sitcom. The show moved to California, actress Marina Malota replaced Lindsay, and 16 episodes later, Bette was canceled.

This left Lohan with some free time and she spent it shooting the Disney Channel Original Movie of the Month, Get a Clue (2002), in which she played a snooty school gossip columnist out to discover what happened to a missing teacher. After shooting, she took a short break from acting.

During this period, Lindsay decided to concentrate on her musical career. Having been in the entertainment industry for most of her life, she had received quite a few useful phone numbers over the years. In September 2002, music heavyweight Emilio Estefan, Jr. took Lindsay under his wing. She signed a five-album deal with Estefan Enterprises.
