Child actress Lindsay Lohan was already an experienced performer when she made her feature debut in the 1998 remake of The_Parent_Trap. Born in New York City, Lohan began modeling at age three. After appearing in numerous TV commercials, Lohan moved to series TV with a role on the soap operaAnother_World from 1996 to 1997. Cast as The_Parent_Trap's scheming twin sisters after a six month search for just the right girl, Lohan succeeded in filling Hayley_Mills' shoes, winning over audiences with her pert charm as both the Californian Hallie and the British-raised Annie. She subsequently starred in the Disney TV film Life-Size (2000). Subsequently cast in actress Bette_Midler's short-lived sitcom Bette, Lohan took a turn as a teenage gossip columnist (Get a Clue[2002]) before turning up in yet another remake of a Disney classic, Freaky_Friday (2003). Stepping into the shoes formerly filled by Jodie_Foster, Lohan and co-star Jamie_Lee_Curtis brought a winning, new chemistry to the film that made it a sleeper summer hit.
