Lindsay Dee Lohan was born on July 2, 1986, in New York City, and grew up in Merrick and Cold Spring Harbor on Long Island, New York. She is the eldest child of Dina Lohan (born Donata Melina Nicolette Sullivan) and Michael Lohan. Lohan has three younger siblings, all of whom have been models or actors: Michael Jr. (who appeared with Lohan in The Parent Trap), Aliana "Ali", and Dakota "Cody" Lohan, the youngest Lohan child. Lohan is of Irish and Italian heritage and was raised as a Catholic.
Her maternal antecedents were "well known Irish Catholic stalwarts" and her great-grandfather, John L. Sullivan, was a co-founder of the Pro-life Party in Long Island. Lohan attended Cold Spring Harbor High School and Sanford H. Calhoun High School, where she did well in science and mathematics, until grade 11, when she started homeschooling.
