Lindsay Lohan was born in New York City and grew up in Merrick and Cold Spring Harbor on Long Island in New York. She is the eldest child of Michael and Dina (née Sullivan) Lohan, both former actors. She has three younger siblings: brother Michael had a role as “Lost Boy at Camp” in The Parent Trap (1998), sister Aliana is an aspiring model and actress, and brother Dakota (Cody) has modeled fashions. Lohan is of Irish and Italian heritage and was raised Catholic.
Lohan’s family was financially comfortable from its inception; her father had inherited his family’s pasta business, which he later sold to trade in futures (briefly becoming President of New York Futures Traders). More recently, he worked as an investment banker, securing funding for independent films. Lohan’s mother, a former Rockette at Radio City Music Hall, was a Wall Street analyst before becoming her daughter’s manager. Despite the family’s wealth, Lohan—when she wasn’t tutored on film sets—attended public schools on Long Island until just before her high school graduation, finishing her studies at home.
Like most celebrities, Lohan and her family have endured public scrutiny of their private lives. It was revealed in 2004 that Michael Lohan had spent much of his daughter’s preteen years in prison for securities fraud. In 2005, he was sent back to prison for “aggravated unlicensed driving” and attempted assault. Later that year, Lohan’s parents settled their divorce case; her mother’s attorney said, “Dina and the children are delighted that this chapter in their lives is finally over”, while her father (through his lawyer) said, “I look forward to the opportunity to rebuild my relationship with my children.”
In 2004, Lohan shared an apartment in the Los Angeles, California, area with actress Raven-Symoné. The following year, she bought a home in West Hollywood while still spending much of her time at her family’s home in New York
