Lindsay Lohan is an American actress and former child star, most known for her roles in “The Parent Trap” and the iconic teen comedy “Mean Girls”. Lohan has been in the public eye since she was only three years old, starting off as a model before branching out to other creative avenues. Lohan is a singer and model, and has also dabbled in fashion design, but is most recognized for her acting career. She’s starred in over a dozen films and has appeared in multiple hit shows, including “Ugly Betty”, “That 70’s Show” and “Glee”. She used to boast an impressive net worth and was often seen as a force to be reckoned with, but her behavior off-screen has caused her career and image to suffer. Currently, Lohan only has a net worth of $500,000 dollars, which is low for someone who’s starred in so many hit movies. The young actress is looking to find her footing in Hollywood again, and is set to appear in the second season of the series “Sick Note”. In this article you’ll learn all the up and downs of Lohan’s time in the industry.
Becoming a Child Star

Lohan got her start as a model when she was signed by Ford Models. She was only three years old at the time, but that didn’t hold her back in the least. Lohan appeared in over 60 commercials, for brands like Jell-O and Wendy’s, and modeled for Calvin Klein Kids and Abercrombie during her time with Ford Models. After seven years of modeling and commercial work, Lohan earned her first real acting role on the soap opera “Another World”. Her work on “Another World” led to her breakout role a mere year later, in “The Parent Trap”. Lohan played twins that were separated as infants in the remake of the 1961 movie of the same name, and was praised for her work in the film. Lohan went on to star in two Disney Channel Original Movies after her success in “The Parent Trap”. She played the lead roles in “Life-Size” opposite Tyra Banks and in “Get a Clue” with fellow child-star Brenda Song.
Taking Over the Big Screen
There was a point in time when Lindsay Lohan was the “It” girl in Hollywood. She was a total box office success, with the ability to make her characters seem real and likable, despite still being a teenager. Lohan was a rare talent, often the youngest on her sets due to the tendency to cast older actors to play teens. In 2003 Lohan made her biggest splash on the movie scene yet, when she starred in “Freaky Friday”. The body switching comedy was a remake of a 1976 movie of the same name, but Lohan and her co-star Jamie Lee Curtis truly made it their own. The film was praised by viewers and critics alike, and was a total box office smash. Lohan’s work in the film solidified her status as a lead teen actress and Curtis was even nominated for a Golden Globe. Lohan’s biggest hit to date is still the iconic teen comedy “Mean Girls”. Fresh off the success of “Freaky Friday”, Lohan landed the role in the upcoming comedy written by “Saturday Night Live” star Tina Fey. The film focused on the cliques and social circles in public high schools and the damage they cause to young teen girls. “Mean Girls” has a cult following, is one of the most quoted movies of this generation and made Lohan a household name.
Music Career
Like many young Disney stars, Lohan had an interest in branching out into the music world early in her career. After performing successful songs for her films “Freaky Friday” and “Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen”, Lohan started focusing on producing her own album. In 2004 Lohan released her debut studio album “Speak”. “Speak” received mixed reviews, but managed to sell over 4.5 million copies worldwide and the album’s first two singles were popular radio hits. Lohan, who plays guitar and co-wrote several of the songs on the album, wanted to create something that she could personally relate to and was very active in the making of the album. A year later Lohan released her second album “A Little More Personal (Raw)”. Still incredibly involved in the creation of the album, Lohan co-wrote even more of the songs on this album, which featured darker material and was supposed to show sides of Lohan the world hasn’t seen before. Lohan recorded the majority of the album during breaks on the set of “Herbie: Fully Loaded”. It wasn’t as successful as her debut album in the United States, but reached certified Gold in Taiwan. Lohan had plans to tour in Taiwan, although she had no experience touring at that point, because she was so happy her album was doing well there. Unfortunately the tour never happened and it seems like Lohan has closed the door on her music career.
Fall From Grace

In 2005, while at the height of her career and currently filming “Herbie: Fully Loaded”, Lohan began her very public downward spiral. She was in a string of car accidents, was a constant subject of paparazzi pictures due to her active social life and her personal relationships were made public. A public break-up with “That 70’s Show” star Wilmer Valderrama led to a song on “Speak”, but also caused the actress to lose focus on her film sets. She became known for her constant partying, and her talent started to be overshadowed by her late night antics. Soon the professional actress Lohan used to be was replaced by a different version of her; Lohan was suddenly irresponsible, late to set, and spent more time in and out of rehab than anywhere else. Lohan’s struggles with drug use and alcohol lasted for years. She’s been arrested for possession of cocaine and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol on multiple occasions, all of which became public knowledge. The success of her early life was something of the past, and instead she was known for being a Hollywood wild child with numerous failed stints in rehab attached to her name. In 2015, after eight years of being in trouble with the law, Lohan was finally no longer on probation. The actress has been through a long painful journey, but in recent years she’s truly appeared to be working on herself.
Lindsay Lohan: The Comeback
At only thirty-one years old Lohan has already lived a tumultuous life. She’s had incredible highs and depressing lows, but has found the strength to survive them all. Lohan has lost the respect of many, has barely any net worth to show for her work and is definitely going to have an uphill battle to get back on top again, but in 2018 it looks like she’s up for the task. Lohan is set to appear in the second season of the British sitcom “Sick Note” this year, has plans to open her own island and is currently working on a make-up line. Now that Lohan spends lots of her time in Dubai living away from the Hollywood elite and the paparazzi, she’s a healthier person overall. The serenity that comes with living away from it all brought her a sense of peace and gave her privacy she never had in her early years. Lindsay Lohan is finally making her comeback.
