Lindsay Lohan's Real Name: Lindsay Dee Lohan

Quick answer: Lindsay Lohan's full name is Lindsay Dee Lohan, the form given by Biography.com. She was born on July 2, 1986, in New York City. A Library of Congress note also lists the form Lindsay Morgan Lohan; because those expansions conflict, the title follows Biography.com. She became widely known in Disney's The Parent Trap (1998) and later in Mean Girls (2004) (Biography.com).

Real name and early life

Biography.com says Lindsay Dee Lohan was born on July 2, 1986, in New York City. Her father, Michael Lohan, worked in the family pasta business and as an investment banker; her mother, Donata "Dina" Sullivan, was a Wall Street analyst. She grew up in the Long Island suburbs of Cold Spring Harbor and Merrick. The Library of Congress heading is "Lohan, Lindsay, 1986-." Some catalog notes give a New York or Bronx birthplace; Biography.com uses New York City.

She began modeling and appearing in commercials at age 3, work that first brought her into public view as a child. Biography.com says her early résumé included more than 60 television spots and 100 print ads for clients such as Toys "R" Us and Duncan Hines, a foundation that later helped her land film roles.

Career highlights

Those commercials helped her win the dual role of twin sisters in Disney's 1998 remake of The Parent Trap, in which the girls — one raised in England and the other in the United States — try to reunite their parents. She later starred for Disney in a remake of Freaky Friday (2003), with Jamie Lee Curtis, and in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004).

Her starring role in Paramount's Mean Girls (2004), written by Tina Fey, made her a major film name. The same year she released the pop album Speak, which Biography.com says went platinum. In 2012 she starred as Elizabeth Taylor in the television film Liz & Dick, Biography.com notes. This page is a name biography and does not recap later tabloid coverage of her private life.
