Lindsay Lohan looking almost twice her age after living hard and fast in Hollywood for 5 years
Fallen Hollywood actress Lindsay Lohan once commanded millions per film. Now she is reduced to financial rubble, due to terrible choices and circumstances of her own making. Let's take a look back at her once semi-successful career that has disintegrated into a haze of drug smoke and alcohol fumes.
She began her career as a kid doing commercials to support her troubled, drug and alcohol addled family. She then progressed to Hollywood films, making her debut starring in Disney's "The Parent Trap" which grossed $66,308,518.
She went on to star in other films such as "Freaky Friday" "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" (with Megan Fox, who later slammed her) "Mean Girls" and "Herbie: Fully Loaded."
Lohan bought herself expensive cars, a multi-million dollar West Hollywood condo and millions in designer clothes and jewelry. She even unwisely lived at the Château Marmont for a year, racking up a $250,000 bill, when her condo was minutes away.
Lindsay Lohan Pre-Crack:
After "Herbie" things went straight downhill, as Lohan began hanging out with a terrible Hollywood set and basically imploded, destroying her career that had exploded.
Lohan earned at least $30,000,000 via filmwork, endorsements and interviews during the highpoint of her career. Yet managed to squander her fortune on foolishness. When the money went, she began stealing from everyone to fund her lavish lifestyle. She was then reduced to living in an empty apartment in Los Angeles and sleeping on a bare mattress on the floor. Good times (not).
Lohan made the news again this month, for being sentenced to 90 days in jail on DUI charges that turned into repeated probation violations. Her lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, quit after Lohan wrote an expletive on her hand ("F**K U") and pointed it in the sentencing judge's direction.
She then tried to hire a lawyer fresh out of law school, but even that failed. Lohan finally found another experienced defense attorney that she tried to retain, but when he discovered she wanted him to work for free he bailed on her.
Lindsay Lohan post fame
Lohan was recently cut from the "Mean Girls" video game packaging and dropped from all promotional items involving the forthcoming gory, vile film "Machete." She is box office poison and Hollywood knows it.
According to Gawker, she is lining up pre-and-post-prison interviews that could net her $1,000,000. To all her creditors, it's time you lined up again.
