Red-haired, wide-eyed and freckled, Lindsay Lohan began modelling at age 3 and quickly graduated to TV commercials. She appeared in dozens of ads as a youngster, including a Jell-O pudding spot with Bill Cosby, and from 1996-97 took the role of Alli Fowler in the soap opera Another World. As she entered her teens she starred in a string of kid-friendly Walt Disney films: as long-separated twin sisters in The Parent Trap (1988, with Dennis Quaid); bringing a favorite doll to life in Life-Size (2000, with supermodel Tyra Banks); switching bodies with her mother (Jamie Lee Curtis) in the 2003 comedy Freaky Friday; and driving a famous Volkswagen Beetle in Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005). By that time Lohan had already begun to show fewer freckles and more curves in the high school comedy Mean Girls (2004), and she became a tabloid magazine favorite as she grew up in the public eye.
