Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan’s breakout performance in Mean Girls in 2004 was the reason Hollywood directors wanted her on speed dial. The witty adolescent comedy film won her the title of the teen queen after grossing $67 million at the box office. Lohan began her career investments in the entertainment industry at the age of three, modeling for Ford and appearing in over 60 TV commercials, including The Gap and Wendy’s.

After beating Scarlett Johansson to the role of the winsome twins in The Parent Trap, the Disney producers got so smitten with her that they immediately offered a multi-picture deal. Freaky Friday, a body-swap comedy starring Jamie Lee Curtis, was released in 2003 and was swiftly succeeded by Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and Herbie: Fully Loaded in the following years. Lindsay took on guest parts in US comedy Ugly Betty, served as a guest judge on Project Runway, and launched her own pants brand, 6126, in an attempt to reclaim the popularity she had experienced in her career’s early years.
