Summary

ETR's "Summer Blockbuster Month" is still going strong, Richies! And God knows Lindsay Lohan’s life is the the stuff of a great blockbuster script. She starts off as a gifted child actor, and wows critics and audiences alike with her star-making performance in “The Parent Trap.” Then as a teenager, she morphs into a young startlet thanks to her roles in ""Freaky Friday"" and “Mean Girls.” But as Lindsay's star continues to rise, she becomes a victim of vicious tabloid culture. And things go so off the rails for Lindsay, she winds up in rehab, and even jail. But leave it to Lindsay to bounce back. You can see her in the much-anticipated sequel “Freakier Friday,” alongside her old co-star Jamie Lee Curtis. Lindsay’s proving that she's back, better, and healthier than ever.
