Lindsay Lohan
- Profession: Actress
- Place/Date of Birth: New York, 02 July 2020
"The moment Lindsay saw Michael, she started running and jumped into her father’s arms," says an eyewitness. "Her father hugged her and swung her around. Lindsay was so happy. It was very emotional."
It was reported that Michael spent several hours with his daughter, although he refused to go into details when contacted for comment.
"I can’t comment on my relationship with my daughter," he said. "But [the reunion] was amazing."
Like his daughter, Michael is a recovering addict, and he spent two years in prison on a variety of charges before being released in March. He finalised his acrimonious divorce from the star’s mum Dina last month.
Lindsay’s Parents Reach Settlement - Aug 20 2007
Lindsay Lohan’s parents, Michael and Dina, have reached a settlement in their contentious divorce, hence avoiding a public trial.
"Mr and Mrs Lohan, you have both demonstrated to me extraordinarily good judgment in resolving the matter as you did," Judge Robert Ross told the Lohans.
John DiMascio Jr, Michael’s attorney, says he expects the divorce to be finalised in around 90 days, depending on how quickly the divorce documents are filed and then processed by the court.
As she left the court in Long Island, New York, Dina told People: "Now the healing process can begin for my children and myself."
And when asked how Lindsay, who is currently in rehab, is doing, she said: "Fantastic".
However, not all the couple’s differences are fully settled. Dina and Michael will meet again in family court on September 6 to "work on pending issues, custody and parental access to the children," John added.
Li-Lo Goes Tanning - Aug 16 2007
Wild child Lindsay Lohan has apparently taken a controversial break from her third stint in rehab - to get a tan.
According to US website Hollywood Extra, the actress was spotted leaving Utah’s Cirque Lodge rehab centre, and going to the Beaches Tanning Salon.
It seems Li-Lo brought some spray-on tan and was photographed smiling before she headed back to the Mormon-run centre.
However, her dad Michael Lohan was none to happy to hear of the latest developments surrounding his daughter.
"Does Betty Ford let its people out? Absolutely not," he told the website. "I’m upset about this. They should never let any patient out."
US website TMZ.com reports that Lindsay has been a "model patient" since checking into the Utah facility on August 2, attending every meeting, working with psychologists and even agreeing to take on menial tasks like washing dishes, doing laundry and cleaning toilets.
The actress is back in rehab following her arrest for allegedly driving under the influence in Los Angeles on July 24.
Lindsay ’raced through city at 100mph’ - July 30 2007
A lawyer for two men who say they were unwilling passengers on Lindsay Lohan’s wild ride through Santa Monica says he hopes to resolve the case without hauling the actress into court.
Randall Billington said Dante Nigro and Jakon Sutter pleaded with the star to stop as she raced along California’s Pacific Coast Highway at 100mph before dawn on Tuesday.
The lawyer is also representing Ronnie Blake, who says the 21-year-old actress, drove Nigro’s sport-utility vehicle over his foot as she raced off with the car.
"Some people think a discussion should begin with, ’I’ll see you in court’. I don’t believe that," said Billington, adding that he hoped the situation could be resolved amicably.

Born to a wealthy family Lindsay was nonetheless put to work from an early age. At three she was signed to a modelling agency and quickly built up a portfolio of work with the likes of Toys R Us and Calvin Klein Kids. As a teen she appeared in numerous magazines such as Elle Girl and Bliss and in television commercials for Jell-O among others.
At ten years of age Lindsay bagged a role on American soap Another World which she soon abandoned when offered a big screen part in the remake of The Parent Trap in which she played twins. The part brought her to the attention of filmmakers throughout Hollywood and ensured future parts would roll on in.
Made for TV movies and a short lived sitcom part followed before Lindsay, then sixteen, was offered another cult remake - Freaky Friday - alongside Jamie Lee Curtis. Two further teen flicks followed, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and the Clueless-esque Mean Girls. The success of the two movies cemented Lindsay’s status as Teen Queen. Closely followed by Herbie: Fully Loaded Lindsay hoped to make the transition to adult film star smoothly however 2006’s Just My Luck was not well received. More serious roles are set to follow in Georgia Rule, Speechless, A Woman of No Importance and The Best Time of Our Lives.
As well as acting Lindsay had taken the opportunity to showcase her musical skills in her films and before long she was taken under the wing of Mariah Carey’s ex Tommy Mottola. Her debut album, Speak, was released in 2004 with the single Rumours earning critical acclaim. 2005’s A Little More Personal included a dramatically intimate track aimed at her father who had spent much of Lindsay’s life in prison. She is currently working on a third album.
Since 2003 Lindsay has been regular tabloid fodder beginning with a rumoured feud with fellow teen actress Hilary Duff. Her weight has been a serious issue, with the actress admitting that she had ’nearly died’, before dedicating herself to getting her shape back. She has also gained the reputation of girl about town, partying hard with the likes of Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton whilst dealing with a run of bad luck which has included three car crashes and some rumoured illnesses.
