Lindsay Lohan began her film career at just three years old, and by age 11 she was widely considered to be Hollywood’s next big thing.
Lead film roles and acting awards quickly followed, but like so many child stars, Lindsay’s personal life was soon spiralling out of control, dragging her professional life with it.
Now at age 33, Lindsay has been jailed six times, teetered on the brink of bankruptcy and escaped from her fifth stint of court-ordered rehab.
Bu she’s also managed to pick herself up and rebrand herself as an entrepreneur, launching eponymous Lohan Nightclub in Athens and later the Lohan Beach House Mykonos and Lohan Beach House Rhodes.
Plus, she’s just signed a deal to record her third album and she’s about to appear on a couple of Aussie TV shows, including The Masked Singer and Have You Been Paying Attention.
It’s been a wild ride for Lindsay, so let’s take a look at her journey from talented teen to troubled young woman.
