Lindsay Lohan is an American actress, pop music singer, and former
fashion model. She started in show business as a child model for
magazine ads and television commercials. At age ten, she began her
acting career on a soap opera; at eleven, she made her motion picture
début by playing both twins in Disney's 1998 remake of The Parent
Trap. Lohan's breakout role as a leading actress came six years
later
with Mean Girls, which shone the media spotlight on her professional
and personal lives—including her nightlife and her parents' marital
and legal struggles. As an adult, Lohan began to take on more varied
roles and projects, including Robert Altman's A Prairie Home
Companion. While filming Herbie: Fully Loaded in 2004, Lohan
launched
her career in music, recording and releasing her first studio album,
Speak; her second album, A Little More Personal (Raw), was released
in
2005.
