Acting career

Early career success

Lohan began her career with Ford Models at age three, but found little work as a fashion model.cite visual | crew=Lohan, Lindsay (subject) | year=2004 | title= [http://www.mtv.com/onair/dyn/diary/series.jhtml MTV "Diary"] | medium=TV-Documentary | location=USA | distributor=MTV ] She persisted and eventually appeared in more than 100 print-ads for companies like Toys "R" Us.Cite journal | author=Anne Marie Allocca | title="Mother/Daughter Act" | journal=Soap Opera Magazine | month=January | year=1997 ] She also modeled for Calvin Klein Kids (usually with siblings Michael and Ali) and Abercrombie Kids.

Lohan's first auditions for television work did not go well; by the time she tried out for a Duncan Hines commercial, she told her mother that she would give up if she did not get the job. She was hired, and went on to appear in over 60 commercials, including a Jell-O spot with Bill Cosby. Her ad work led to roles in soap operas, and she was already considered a show-business veteran in 1996 when she landed the role of Alexandra "Alli" Fowler on "Another World", "where she delivered more dialogue than any other 10-year-old in daytime serials" of the time.cite web | publisher=filmbug.com | title=Lindsay Lohan at Filmbug UK | url=http://www.filmbug.co.uk/db/2176 | accessdate=22 January | accessyear=2006]

Lohan gave up "Another World" for the big screen when director Nancy Meyers cast her to play the dual roles of the estranged twin sisters who try to reunite their long-divorced parents (Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson) in the 1998 remake of "The Parent Trap". "Trap" was well-received for a family comedy, bringing in US$92 million worldwide.cite web | publisher=boxofficemojo.com | title=Box Office Mojo: "The Parent Trap | url=http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=theparenttrap98.htm | accessdate=29 January | accessyear=2006] Film critic Janet Maslin found Lohan's dual performances so forceful "that she seems to have been taking shy violet lessons from Sharon Stone."cite web | publisher=nytimes.com | title=Janet Maslin:"The Parent Tr

She starred in two original television movies, "Life-Size" (2000) (with Tyra Banks) and "Get a Clue" (2002). She also played Bette Midler's daughter in the first episode of the short-lived series, "Bette" (2000), but Lohan, then 14, quit when the production moved from New York to Los Angeles. In 2001, she hosted the ABC-TV commercial series commemorating Walt Disney's 100th birthday during a rebroadcast of "The Parent Trap".

Rise to fame and career development

Following a brief hiatus, Lohan won a lead role in another Disney remake: "Freaky Friday" (2003), starring Jamie Lee Curtis. Lohan's character in the movie was originally written as a Goth, but she didn't think anyone would relate to that, and decided to dress in a preppy style for her audition, and the character ended up being re-written.

There was nothing there." She took it upon herself to change it - before the audition. "I dressed really preppy," she says. "I wore a collared turquoise Abercrombie & Fitch shirt and khaki pants, swear to God, with a white headband. And my hair was really straight and pretty and red and blond. My agent calls and was like, 'What are you doing?!'" The studio ended up re-writing the character entirely. | accessdate = 2008-09-03] Through 2005, "Friday" was Lohan's biggest commercial film success, earning US$160 million worldwide.cite web | publisher=boxofficeguru.com | title=Weekend Box Office, 12 September - 14, 2003 | url=http://www.boxofficeguru.com/091503.htm | accessdate=15 September | accessyear=2003]

In 2004, Lohan was given the lead in two films, "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" (her first feature that was not a remake) and Paramount's "Mean Girls", both released in 2004. "Drama Queen" was a modest success at the box office, grossing about US$30 million, but was a failure with critics.

Lohan returned to Disney for "" (2005), the fifth film in the "Herbie" series. Her popularity allowed her to choose from a wider variety of projects; Lohan felt "Herbie" would help her make the transition into more grown-up roles. "In most of my other films, I was in high school," she said. "Here, [my character is] just out of college. It's nice to be able to do something that I think will be acceptable to the fan base I've accumulated from my Disney movies, but subconsciously they'll see me getting older and maturing."cite web |publisher=sfgate.com |title=Lohan's Maturing: Mind, Body, Roles |url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2005/06/19/PKGIOD5RVA1.DTL&type=printable |accessdate=19 June | accessyear=2005] "Fully Loaded" earned $144,146,816 worldwide.

It grossed US$6.7 million at the box office in its opening weekend and to date has grossed over US$22 million worldwide.

On July 24, 2007, Lohan - in the wake of her arrest withdrew from a scheduled appearance on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" to promote her starring role as a stripper in the film "I Know Who Killed Me". The film premiered "to an abysmal $3.5 million" [http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20049806,00.html "I Know Who Killed Your Career", EW.com] ] and earned Lohan two nominations for worst actress at the Golden Raspberry Awards. She came in first and second, tying with herself.

"Entertainment Weekly" quoted the head of a major film studio as saying, "Her career was over long before she had these troubles... Right now, she'd have to pay a studio to get herself into a movie." The article continues, "There's the L.A. bar scene that serves underage stars and Hollywood's compulsion to turn child actors into products, plus a frenzied 21st-century media culture that has made Lohan and other celebs into exotic prey in flashbulb cages." ABC News quoted publicist Michael Levine as calling Lohan unemployable "for the next 18 months." The head of a talent agency agreed, noting that her personal issues likely made the insurance and other costs required for any film production to proceed prohibitively expensive.

"She's a good person who's making some bad choices. She needs time to get the proper medical care, but when she's in the right emotional state, I'd put her in a movie right away.... She's probably one of the most talented young women in the movie business today."

"A Little More Personal (Raw)" (2005)

In December 2005, her second album, "A Little More Personal (Raw)", debuted at number 20 on the Billboard 200 chart, but fell under the top 100 within six weeks. Reviews were unfavorable; critics called the album a "slick pop production."cite web | publisher=commonsensemedia.org | title=Common Sense Review:" A Little More Personal (Raw) | url=http://www.commonsensemedia.org/reviews/review.php?id=4715&type=Music | accessdate=28 January | accessyear=2006] "Slant" magazine called it "contrived ... for all the so-called weighty subject matter, there's not much meat on these bones."cite web | publisher=slantmagazine.com | title=Slant magazine: Music Review:" A Little More Personal (Raw) | url=http://www.slantmagazine.com/music/music_review.asp?ID=697 | accessdate=29 January | accessyear=2006] Still, "A Little More Personal (Raw)" was certified Gold on 18 January 2006. The music video for the album's first single, "Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)" — directed by Lohan and featuring the acting debut of her sister, Ali — was a dramatization of the pain Lohan says her family has suffered at the hands of her father.cite web | publisher=billboard.com | title=Billboard: Lohan Puts "Heart" into Second Album | url=http://www.billboard.com/bb/daily/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1001219529 | accessdate=30 September | accessyear=2005] She said "It's kind of offensive... I hope he sees the positive side of the video rather than the negative."

The album's second single was supposed to be "I Live for the Day." Radio promos singles were pressed and released and sent to radio stations. However due to Lohan's schedule, she was unable to promote or support the single as she did with her previous efforts. Eventually, since the single received absolutely no radio airplay or support, and the disappointing chart position and sales of the album, Casablanca Records cancelled "I Live for the Day" and moved forward with "If It’s Alright" as the second single. However plans for releasing "If It’s Alright" were later cancelled, as well as all other singles and promotion with the album. Therefore, "A Little More Personal (Raw)" was not as successful as her previous album, "Speak". "A Little More Personal (Raw)", with little promotion, was still certified gold by the RIAA on 18 January 2006 after debuting on the Billboard 200 at #20, while "Speak" went platinum after debuting at #4.
