'''Lindsay Dee Lohan'''
(born July 2 1986), known professionally as '''Lindsay Morgan Lohan''', is an American actress and pop music singer. She started in show business as a child fashion 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 2004's ''
Mean Girls'', which shone the media spotlight on her professional and personal lives—including her nightlife and her parents' marital and legal struggles.

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.
