Here's an article that it from the Daily News just since a week and a half ago.

IT'S SWITCHCRAFT! 'FRIDAY' GIVES TEEN STAR BIG BOOST
By Joe Neumaier

Linsay Lohan is one of the brightest stars in a universe of teen actress that includes Hilary Duff, Amanda Byrnes and Mandy Moore.

With a summer hit behind her and leading roles lined up for next year, Lohan at 17 is turning the corner from teen-pop candy to adult star.

Lohan is half of the mother-daughter team - with Jamie Lee Curtis - that switches bodies in "Freaky Friday," Disney's remake of its 1976 Jodie Foster comedy.

The movie has been in the top five at the box office since its opened last month - only "Jeepers Creepers II" outdrew it last weekend - earning more than $90 million so far.

"I guess [the role] was a little harder on me, because I've never experienced being an adult," Lohan says. "Jamie's been a kid before. But I don't know what her life is like."

EARLY START IN SHOBIZ

But she has been in front of cameras almost as long as she's been walking.

Born in reared in Cold Spring Harbor, L.I., Lohan - the oldest child of a former Radio City Rockette and a Wall Street analyst - began doing commercials and modeling at age 3.

Despite never taking acting classes, she says she was an instantly comfortable performing in ads, including Jell-O commercial with Bill Cosby.

"I was sort of natural," Lohan says.

When she was 11, after appearing on the soap "Another World", she got a tough assignment for an actress of any age: playing different twin sisters, British goody-goody Annie and sassy American Hallie, in the 1998 remake of "The Parent Trap".

"When you're younger, people don't expect you do as well," she says of her star turn. "And for a kid, overthinking can take the fun out of a performance."

Her parents wanted to make sure she had a life outside show business, so except for two Disney TV movies, Lohan took time off after "The Parent Trap" to attend school in New York.

"When I was filming, I have to have class time during any break", Lohan says. "That can be a pain in the neck - reading up on history, then jumping back into character."

Or two characters, as she does again in "Freaky Friday."

"It has to be believable that Lindsay's character [becomes] her mother," says Curtis. "I think she has the much harder job of the two of us. Lindsay has perfected the dual-role thing; she has a range that most teens never get to show."

Lohan had to learn her co-star's mannerisms quickly, because Curtis replace Annette Bening two weeks into filming.

"I actually worked on Annette a lot - I watched her movies and studied her. But Jamie and I clicked right off the bat," she says.

BUSY SCHEDULE

Lohan spent her summer filming the coming-of-age comedy "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen." She plans to work with "Freaky" director Mark Waters again, in the satire "Mean Girls." Both movies are schedule for release next year.

As she begins her senior year in high school, Lohan says she has to decide which college she'll attend (NYU or UCLA), what her major will be (fashion or entertainment law) and whatever she should focus on acting or her first love - music.

"Singing and dancing is what I was first interested in," says Lohan, who plays guitar and signed a five-album deal last year with music producer Emilio Estefan (Gloria's husband). She's been recording demos in her spare time.

"It's important to expand and show that I can do more than comedies, to do a lot at once," she says.

"I might focus on music and take some time from acting, maybe switch back and forth."

"We'll see what happens."
