Lindsay Lohan - Biography |
|
|
|
At three, Lindsay Lohan was a
working model. As a kid she appeared in ads for dozens of products from
Pizza Hut to the Gap, and co-starred with Bill Cosby in a Jell-O
commercial. At six, she was one of the trick-or-treaters who rang David
Letterman's doorbell on a Halloween Late Show. Her costume was made from
garbage allegedly found on the D-train, and Letterman gave her a garden
hose. At ten, Lohan was a semi-regular on the soap opera Another World, as
Alexandra "Ally" Fowler. The following year, she made her motion picture
debut as twins in Disney's 1998 remake of The Parent Trap with Dennis
Quaid.
After a few years' break from her career, Lohan moved to Los Angeles
without her parents, and for a while shared an apartment with actress
Raven-Symoné. Lohan briefly dated babyfaced actor Aaron Carter, until she
learned he was also dating Hilary Duff. Duff and Lohan feuded loudly about
that for months, before Lohan decided that the whole rivalry was rather
"high school".
She re-teamed with Disney for another hit remake, Freaky Friday with Jamie
Lee Curtis, and in Tina Fey's Mean Girls she played a high school girl
drifting toward bitchdom. In 2002 she signed a multi-album deal with
Emilio and Gloria Estefan's Estefan Enterprises. Her first album, Speak,
went platinum, and her 2005 follow-up A Little More Personal (Raw) went
gold.
Now all grown up, Lohan's night life with celebrity pals like Paris Hilton
has become legendary. In October 2004 she was hospitalized with "a high
fever", in February 2005 she was hospitalized with "chest pains", in
January 2006 she was hospitalized after an "asthma attack". In July 2006
she was hospitalized with "heatstroke and exhaustion" while filming
Georgia Rule with Jane Fonda, but after that incident witnesses said Lohan
had been partying at a Hollywood nightclub the night before. James
Robinson, CEO of the Morgan Creek studio, wrote Lohan a letter blaming her
"all-night, heavy partying" for her chronic lateness and absences from the
set -- and released the letter to the media. Similar accounts followed, of
Lohan's social life causing delays on Herbie Fully Loaded and Bobby. In
January 2007 she was briefly hospitalized for an appendectomy, her
publicist said, and seen partying til dawn the day after her alleged
surgery. Even Tara Reid has told reporters "Lindsay Lohan is way more wild
than I was when I was her age."
Through the spring and summer of 2005 Lohan appeared excessively thin,
triggering speculation of anorexia or bulimia. Lohan denied any problem,
but after several months she urged young girls to "learn from my
mistakes", and admitted to a bout with bulimia. She then demanded a
retraction, claiming the quote had been fabricated by reporters at Vanity
Fair, but the magazine had the interview on tape.
In November 2006, perhaps unclear on the concept of "anonymous", both
Lohan's publicist and her mother told the press that the actress had been
attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Her mother, however, stressed
that Lohan was not an alcoholic, but only attended meetings to show her
support for her friends. In January 2007, about five months before she
would be old enough to legally drink alcoholic beverages, Lohan checked
into a Los Angeles rehab center. She was back in rehab that summer.
In May 2005 she was in an auto wreck, and said her car was forced off the
road by paparazzi pursuing her. Weeks later she said she had almost been
in a second accident caused by media hounding. In October 2005, with no
reporters nearby, she was in an accident in Beverly Hills. In November
2006, again reportedly being pursued by photographers, she crashed her car
in Los Angeles, then told reporters later that she feared she would "end
up like Princess Diana". A week and a half later she was in London with
Calum Best, son of soccer star George Best, when their vehicle rammed into
a police car. In March 2007 Lohan struck a photographer with her BMW in
Los Angeles. In May 2007 Lohan's Mercedes was in a fender-bender on Sunset
Boulevard, and she was arrested on suspicion of driving under the
influence and possession of cocaine. In July 2007, two weeks after
finishing her second stint in rehab, she was arrested again, for drunk
driving and possession of cocaine.
Lohan's father has reportedly threatened to kill Lohan and her mother, and
demanded millions in alimony as he divorced her mother -- "his share" of
his daughter's earnings. He was arrested several times after his daughter
became famous, once for pummeling her uncle with a shoe at communion, once
for drunk driving, and twice for violating an order of protection taken
out by Lohan's mother. In 2005 he pled guilty to drunk driving, attempted
assault, aggravated harassment and criminal contempt, and was sentenced to
four years in prison. After almost two years at the Collins Correctional
Facility near Buffalo, NY, he was released in March 2007. During his jail
time he found the Lord and became an ordained minister. |

Lindsay Lohan - Personal Quotes |
|
|
|
"Life is full of risks anyway,
why not take them?"
"I write a lot of lyrics and I'm involved in the producing process,
because it's like, if I'm singing it, I want it to be something that
I can relate to."
"If I can change bodies with anyone it would be Britney Spears
because how can you not like Britney Spears?"
"I am happy being able to play roles with people my age because once
you do something really mature there is no turning back."
"I don't like to talk about politics. If you say you're a Democrat,
that'll turn off Republicans, and that's half of your fan base."
"When I'm walking down the red carpet and everybody is screaming my
name, all I'm doing is worrying that they're thinking, like, "Oh,
she didn't wave at me, she's such a bitch!"
I'll probably pursue doing more movies but not horror movies or
movies with killers in them. I'll try to stick to happy movies. I
want to act and direct like Jodie Foster. I admire her because she
went to college and she is still doing the same thing.
"It's flattering that people want to know so much about me and want
to take the time to make up that many things about me."
"I don't want to keep doing all commercial stuff. But timing is
everything. I got this one script where this girl wants to join a
Latino gang and she gets raped. I can't be doing that right now. I
don't think that's appropriate."
"But I'm not going to go and lose my virginity in a movie, yet,
because the second I do that, you can't go back. That makes me much
older in terms of film and on the screen."
"Girls my age dress so much raunchier than I'd ever imagine myself
dressing. I understand that I'm a role model, though, and I have to
look out for that. I have a 10-year-old sister, too. But you also
want to be appealing to guys and stuff, that's just something girls
feel. It's hard. You want to be that girl that's unattainable to all
the guys because there are so many other girls out there that are
like that."
"People go to college to find who they are as a person and find what
they want to do in life, and I kind of already know that so it would
be like I'd be taking a step back or something."
"You can't really complain because it's what you have to accept is
going to happen when you're in the spotlight, and you want this. And
I understand that. At the same time, it's hard when you're just
waking up, and you're going out to get your mail and there are
people there. It bugs me sometimes, of course, but I don't do it on
purpose, you know? I try to just live my life; I'm not doing stuff
like that to get noticed." [on not having privacy]
"I'm not doing Playboy, no. Never. They contacted my publicist and
they asked if I would do their 20 questions spread, which is not a
nude photo that they do with it. It's a regular photo. But I do have
a Disney movie coming out and a young fan base and I'm not
interested in doing Playboy right now in my life." [20 Dec 2004]
"Say no more than yes, and just make sure you surround yourself with
good people."
[On relocating to Los Angeles, California and moving in with Raven]:
"We met recently at the Vanity Fair shoot and got along. Our
apartment complex has chef and maid services."
"I was sick. I had people sit me down and say, 'You're going to die
if you don't take care of yourself.'"
"Because I'm so much in the spotlight, people lose sight of why I'm
in the industry. In fact, I'm doing all this because I love to act.
I love to perform, to sing.
"I go out because it's a release. Going out for me is about seeing
my friends and not working. Being seen is just something that comes
along with it.
"I hate it when people call me a teen queen. The past year has felt
like five lifetimes because I've grown up a lot."
"Wilmer was my first love. But the timing was bad. And there were
all these girls around; he would flirt with them. And I couldn't
handle that. I really didn't trust him. So that was hard too."
[Samuel L. Jackson] "I'm a huge fan of his, and as I was walking off
the stage with him he started asking me, 'How are you? Are you OK
from your accident?' He said, 'I've seen your movie Mean Girls
(2004) about five times and I love it'. I said, 'Not only is it
amazing to hear that from you, but it's so nice to hear that from
someone, because all you read is, 'Lindsay is out 'til four in the
morning partying, da, da, da, da'".
"I don't even know how to take a break, because I go crazy. I just
sit in a room and I don't know what to do. I went to the
Metropolitan Museum and just sat there. But they didn't take any
pictures of that, which sucks, because that would have been more
interesting than pictures of me coming out of a club."
"I have this Playboy book called 'Redheads', and I was reading all
these things about how redheads are more passionate and apparently
they're much more sexual than girls with other hair colors. I think
I'm more sexual than my friends. More comfortable in my skin. I'm a
sexual person, definitely."
"It's so weird that I went to rehab. I always said I would die
before I went to rehab." |
