After modeling as a child, Lohan starred as twins Annie James and Hallie Parker in 1998 The parent trap alongside Dennis Quad and Natasha Richardson. After the film’s success, she scored a three-picture contract with Disney.

“I was 10 when I did that Parental trapLohan recalled Rolling Stone in 2004. “I left school for eight months. When I came back, my friends said, “Where did you go?” I said, “My family and I went on a long vacation.” Then the movie came out and they were like, ‘Um, Lindsay? That’s you Parental trap.‘ And I said, ‘Oh, yes. I also made this movie while we were away.’”

As Lohan’s success in Hollywood continued with the release of Mean girls in 2004, her personal problems began to overshadow her career. The “Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)” singer appeared in court more than 20 times during her battle with substance abuse from 2007 to 2012.

It was my first time using drugs; I was in a club with people I shouldn’t have been with, took cocaine and got in the car. It was so stupid.”
