Lohan found some of the physical comedy more challenging than she'd imagined. "You don't realize how hard it can be until you're actually there," she says. "You're reading the script and you say, 'Oh, that'll be so much fun to do,' but then you perform the action or stunt, and that's the hard part. But it's fun when you can just let go and free yourself. It's like therapy in a way."
With her low voice, her deep auburn hair, green eyes and freckles, LINDSAY LOHAN has always been a standout in a sea of blue-eyed blondes. Lohan became the first redheaded child ever to be signed by Ford Modeling Agency. She became instantly recognizable in ads for The Gap, Jell-O, Pizza Hut and Wendy's.
After a stint as Ali Fowler on the daytime drama "Another World," Lohan was handpicked by then first-time director Nancy Meyers, to play the estranged, plucky twins in Disney's remake of "The Parent Trap." Disney signed Lohan for a three-movie deal, and in the year 2000, Lohan returned to television to play opposite Bette Midler in "The Bette Show." When she took a break from acting, Lohan's music career began to take off; Estefan Enterprises made a five-album production deal with her in 2002, and she signed a recording contract with the reactivated Casablanca Records.
At the same time, Lohan took on another Disney project, the remake of "Freaky Friday," for director Mark Rodgers. The film was a wild success, and critics were charmed by the performances from Lohan and Curtis (who went on to receive a Golden Globe® nomination for her work). In addition, Lohan won the 2004 MTV Movie Award for Best Breakthrough Female, as well as a Saturn award nomination and another Young Artist award nomination.
In 2004, she reunited with "Freaky Friday" director Mark Waters, to star in "Mean Girls," which opened to glowing reviews, and grossed $86 million in the U.S. The same year she starred in "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen," also for Disney. Lohan returned to her Disney fan base again for 2005's "Herbie: Fully Loaded," co-starring Matt Dillon and Michael Keaton.
Lohan's debut album, "Speak" was released in December 2004, and peaked at number four on the Billboard 200. By early 2005, it was certified Platinum. Its video was nominated for Best Pop Video at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards. "Rumors" eventually earned a Gold certification.
