"Say no more than yes, and just make sure you surround yourself with good people." –Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan was born in New York City on July 2, 1986 and though she is now known as an actress and pop singer she was once led a much simpler and quieter life. Lindsay was born to parents Michael Douglas Lohan Sr. and Donata Sullivan. The couple also had three other children named Michael Jr., Alania, and youngest brother Dakota. Lindsay was the oldest child and the children were all very close during their younger years and according to more current reports the Lohan children are all very connected to one another. The Lohans raised their children in Merrick and Cold Spring Harbor on Long Island in New York. Her father was an actor at one time and her mother was a former Rockette, so entertainment and performing would come naturally to the Lohan children.

Lindsay was tutored for much of her schooling but she was still able to attend public school for a portion of the time, including when she attended Sanford H. Calhoun High School. Lindsay would eventually finish her schooling through home correspondence school through a school named Laurel Springs School that is based in Ojai, California.

The Lohan family did not go without when Lindsay and her siblings were young. Donata Sullivan, also known as Dina, did very well for the family as she was a Wall Street analyst for many years. Later on Dina would become Lindsay's manager, but before this she contributed to a financially comfortable home for herself, her husband, and her children. In addition to Dina's contributions to a comfortable family life, Lindsay's father was doing well, also. Michael Lohan Sr. inherited a stable past business from his father and he would later sell this business and would become President of New York future Traders.

Unfortunately, much of Lindsay's childhood centered around the fact that her father was not there much. Lohan Sr. was sentenced to prison for four years in the later half of the 1980s, when Lindsay was very young, for securities fraud of some kind. Just when he was out of prison and establishing a relationship with Lindsay and the other Lohan Siblings he was again sentenced to prison in 2005 for two years for aggravated unlicensed driving in addition to an attempted assault.
