Actress, model, producer and recording artist Lindsay Lohan turns 28 today. She started out as a fashion model at the age of three, and was later featured on the soap opera Another World when she was 10. At 11, Lohan made her film debut in Disney's remake of The Parent Trap, which became a critical and commercial hit. Her next film, Disney's remake of Freaky Friday, was also a success at the box office and with critics. Lohan's career became more prominent after her role in Mean Girls (2004).

Lohan's debut studio album, Speak, was released in 2004 and is certified platinum. Her second album, A Little More Personal (Raw), was released in 2005 and is certified gold. That same year, Lohan starred in Disney's Herbie: Fully Loaded, and in 2006, she received positive reviews on her work in independent films, including A Prairie Home Companion and Bobby.

In 2008 and 2009, Lohan worked as a fashion model and launched the clothing line 6126. She resumed her acting career with recurring appearances in the television series Ugly Betty in 2008, and starred in the TV film Labor Pains in 2009. She was featured in Robert Rodriguez's feature film Machete.

Lohan went into rehabilitation three times, and spent much of her time entangled in legal problems stemming from misdemeanors and probation violations. In 2012 and 2013, she did further television work, including starring as Elizabeth Taylor in the television film Liz & Dick. In 2013, she starred in Paul Schrader's independent film The Canyons. She most recently had an eight part television documentary series on OWN entitled Lindsay.
