| Actress/teen pop star Lindsay Lohan entered the
world of show business at the tender age
of three as a Ford model, which led to television commercials for the Gap,
Pizza Hut, and Wendy's. She did more television work as she grew up,
including stints on soap operas like
Another World and The Guiding Light, as well as roles in The Bette Show and
Get a Clue, a Disney Channel movie. Lohan's Disney connection, which
included starring as the twins in a remake of The Parent Trap, continued
into her teens and helped her expand her career into music: along with
co-starring with Jamie Lee Curtis in 2003's Freaky Friday, she also
performed the movie's theme song, "Ultimate."
The following year, Lohan starred in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen
and contributed two songs to its soundtrack. Buoyed
by these successes as well as her starring role in Mean Girls, Lohan hosted
the 2004 MTV Movie Awards and won an award for Female Breakout Star. She
also signed to Tommy Mottola's Casablanca Records, releasing her debut album
Speak in December of 2004. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
