A star without scandal is not a star. This phrase perfectly characterizes modern show business. There are, of course, stars to which fame and recognition came as a result of hard work and unique talent. And there are many such “celebrities” in the Hollywood list, whose popularity price is scandals and “yellow PR”. Not the last place in this list was conveniently located and, one might say, Lindsay Lohan was firmly entrenched, her personal life haunts neither her fans nor the ubiquitous paparazzi.
A bit from childhood
The life line of each person is determined by the environment in which he grows up and becomes on his feet, by the people accompanying him on the way. Show business stars are no exception. What so influenced the little girl that in her mature life she does such “miracles”?
The famous, albeit slightly forgotten, actress was born in the not so distant 1986 in the Bronx, in the family of Michael and Dina Lohan. Lindsay Di Lohan (which is exactly what parents called their child) grew up surrounded by two younger sisters and two brothers, who eventually connected their life to Hollywood to one degree or another. Apparently, craving for beauty is a family trait! The girl’s father was a fairly wealthy man, as he successfully disposed of the pasta factory he had inherited. Mother, too, did not "graze the rear", working on the main New York stock exchange. She also managed to make a considerable fortune to contribute to the future of her children. However, it should be noted that not everything was so cloudless and smooth in their family. It turned out that almost all of his childhood years, five children almost did not see his father, since he was unwinding in prison for a period of time: either for drunk driving, then for an attempt on a person. Perhaps this was the reason for the divorce in 2006 of a seemingly successful couple.
Start
Both Michael and Dina at that time had already managed to change their professions for a long time and started producing young Hollywood projects. However, basically, Lindsay owes her successful leap up the career ladder to her mother, who has brought love of beauty into the hearts of all her children from their very childhood. Noticing the effect reproduced by this cute little face, generously strewn with freckles and decorated with a charming smile, on the then monsters of the advertising business, Dina firmly decided to “knock out” her eldest daughter a worthy place in the “dream factory”.
Lindsay Lohan, whose biography to this day is overshadowed by many not very beautiful events, at that time was so glorious and captivating that she began filming from the age of three on behalf of Ford Models - a real empire of modeling agencies. As a teenager, she became the face of more than fifty commercials, took part in more than a dozen radio and television shows. However, this was now not enough for her herself - the soul wanted more, for example, the main role in some successful film.
Young "show business veteran"
Lindsay Lohan, whose filmography from 1996 to this day has 28 projects, began her so-called serious acting career at 10 years old. She gained extraordinary popularity, as well as the title of “veteran of show business” after her first role in the TV series “Another World”. After a year and a half she decided
to leave the project for the sake of playing in the family comedy produced by Walt Disney Studios. The heroine of “Traps for Parents”, or rather the heroine (Lindsay played two twins at once, who made every effort to ensure that their parents living separately
were together again) the audience was so impressed that the world rental brought the creators more than $ 90 million, which at that time was just a sky-high sum. Such success brought her the first award in the field of cinema ("Young Actor" award), as well as a long-term contract with Disney Studios.
First novel and worldwide acclaim
These were the first films with Lindsay Lohan. Their list was soon replenished with the series Bette, as well as the films "Find the Key" and "The Perfect Toy." In the latter, by the way, she played alongside world-class star Tyra Banks. And on this, so to speak, childhood ended. In 2002, she was credited with an affair with Aaron Carter (Nick Carter’s brother from the Backstreet Boys), who also met with Hillary Duff. It is said that it was this fact that caused many years of hostility between the two girls.
But back to Lohan's talent. Lindsay already in 2003 became the leading woman in “Plague Friday”, according to which the current generation, mainly, remembered the red-haired actress. Having earned an unusually high rating from film critics and the unthinkable sums of world box office (about $ 160 million), the film was the peak of Lindsay's commercial success. In addition, the MTV studio in 2004 awarded her the Outstanding Game Award for her role in this tape.
Talented person is talented in everything
This opinion, apparently, is shared by our red-haired girl. She won’t have enough worldwide recognition of her acting skills - she also needs to show her voice!
Following the experience of Marilyn Monroe, she began her career as a singer. Her first creations were the soundtracks for Freaky Friday and Star of the Stage. The last picture was released in 2004 and was aimed at a generation of young American girls of that time. However, critics were ruthless and “defeated”
the new movie with its far from flattering comments towards the game Lohan. Lindsay, however, was not very upset, since at the same time she signed a long-term contract for recording 5 albums with the famous producer Emilio Estefan. And two years later she was noticed by Tommy Mottola - the head of Casablanca Records. In general, acting skills, and an extraordinary freckled face, and even, it turns out, the presence of a voice brought Lindsay such fame.
After disney
After the harsh criticism received by the latest films from Lohan, Lindsay did not despair, but on the contrary, made every effort to regain the former glory of the "Queen of Youth Films", and already in 2004 starred in "Mean Girls". This picture was the first Disney-independent work of an eighteen-year-old actress. A good script and excellent play of the main character brought the film the long-awaited awards, and Lindsay became the youngest owner of the MTV Movie Awards at that time.
After this event, the attention of the press turned completely towards Lohan. The paparazzi chased her at every step, thereby provoking several frivolous, but still accidents involving the star. In order to somehow protect herself from such attention, she wandered around expensive hotels for several years in a row, and only in 2007 acquired permanent housing.
Peak of a "singing" career
Lohan expressed her attitude to annoying journalists in the main single of her debut album, entitled Speak. The composition Rumors was written by the performer herself together with several other authors, so she can be considered a kind of biographical story about how the actress tries in life to get rid of the rumors and gossip that the yellow press masters attribute to her. Released in 2004, this single was her most successful audio work to date. The song reached the pinnacles of the Australian, German, Swiss, Austrian charts, and in the USA he was awarded a gold certification. The Speak album itself became platinum by the beginning of 2005. The clip for this song became one of the best pop-style videos in 2005 and reached the top of the MTV chart.
Non-Disney Behavior
Many of us remember a fascinating film about the talking typewriter Herbie from the tape “Crazy Racing”, where Lohan was also given the main role. Lindsay, however, received mixed reviews for her. Many critics noted her natural game, and some called the picture a failure at all. Although, most likely, the reason for this was not so much the acting skills of the young star, as her "not at all Disney" behavior in real life.
Relations with Wilmer Valderrama, as Lindsay's mother spoke about them, became her first love. The couple had fun and stormy spending all their free time in Los Angeles nightclubs, drinking both health and money. This was the reason for the serious hospitalization of the then very young actress. The heat with the fire added a break with the young man. Under the influence of such events, Lohan turned into a "nightmare Hollywood child" and took several huge steps back up the acting ladder.
Not very personal life
Lindsay Lohan ... Her filmography, of course, is surprising. But I wonder which list is longer: paintings with her participation or lovers? If you believe the list compiled by Li Lu herself, then 36 people were in her bed, no less, (unless, of course, she had forgotten nobody). And mind you, not men, but people. Indeed, in addition to ties with Hollywood handsome men, such as Colin Farrell, Joaquin Phoenix, Heath Ledger, Adam Levin, Justin Timberlake, etc., she is credited with unconventional relations with Vanessa Minnillo and Samantha Ronson. And if in the first case Lindsay refutes the existence of provocative photos with the participation of a famous American TV presenter, then with Samantha they often showed off in front of cameras, holding hands and openly kissing.
Lindsay Lohan: weight, height and other little things in life
Well-known actress, designer, performer and songwriter - this is probably not all the talents of the "red-haired beast" of Hollywood. And lovers of "overwriting the dirty whiteness of celebrity" will be interested to find out some pretty interesting facts from her life:
- The green-eyed and red-haired by nature, the tiny heartbreaker Lindsay Lohan, whose height is only 165 cm, turns out to be suffering from excess weight. Although, as I say, she suffers - judging by her outfits, which only emphasize excess kilograms on her body, she feels quite comfortable in the role of a crumpet.
- At 28, she had already earned the fame of an alcoholic, drug addict and illegal citizen. Evidence of this is the repeated treatment in rehabilitation centers. Yes, and behind the bars the star was more than once.
- Apparently, in addition to dependence on alcohol and drugs, Lindsay has another bad habit - she is an avid shopaholic! Even while in the clinic, the actress spent at least 5 thousand dollars a day on online purchases.
- The designer collection of fashionable leggings, released under the leadership of Lohan back in 2008, was called “6126”. These numbers indicate the birth date of Marilyn Monroe. Apparently, the pop diva chose the sex symbol of America of the 60s as an idol.
- Apparently, the years take their toll, and Lohan’s skill is melting before our eyes. In 2010, she failed the casting for the role of the main character of the fairy tale “Alice in Wonderland”. And in the race for the role of Nikki in the film Burlesque, she could not stand the competition Kristen Bell.
Such is the talented and always unpredictable Lindsay!
