Lindsay Lohan is an American actress and singer who has received various accolades throughout her career. She made her motion picture debut starring as twins in the 1998 family comedy The Parent Trap, which earned her acclaim and a Young Artist Award. She continued working with Disney into her teens, including in Freaky Friday (2003), for which she received an MTV Movie Award for Best Breakthrough Performance, two Teen Choice Awards, and a Saturn Award nomination.
In 2004, she starred in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and Mean Girls, with the latter role as Cady Heron earning her further acclaim, an MTV Movie Award for Best Female Performance, another three Teen Choice Awards, and a nomination for Best Young Performer at the Critics' Choice Awards. Having begun showcasing her singing through acting roles as well as recording songs for movie soundtracks, Lohan launched a music career with the release of her debut studio album Speak in 2004, led by the single "Rumors," which earned her a Best Pop Video nomination at the MTV Video Music Awards.
While she continued her relationship with Disney in her late teens, with Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005) earning her a Kids' Choice Award for Favorite Movie Actress, she began focusing on more dramatic roles as part of ensemble casts. The Robert Altman-directed independent musical comedy A Prairie Home Companion (2006) and the Emilio Estevez-directed drama Bobby (2006) earned her multiple nominations, including at the Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Acting Ensemble, the Gotham Independent Film Award for Best Ensemble Cast, and the Actor Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.
The following decade saw Lohan largely focusing on her personal life and exploring other creative ventures. She moved to London, where she made her stage debut in the West End in 2014's Speed-the-Plow, earning a nomination in the Theatre Actress category at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards and the Comeback Award at the Ischia Global Film & Music Festival. In the early 2020s, she signed a deal with Netflix to star in her first major productions in over a decade. In 2025, she returned to Disney for the legacy sequel Freakier Friday and won the CinemaCon Vanguard Award for her contributions to the entertainment industry.
