Michael Douglas Lohan, Sr. (born April 25, 1960) is best known as the father of actress Lindsay Lohan.
Michael Lohan was raised in Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island, New York.[1] His maternal grandfather was a principal in the food companies Prince Spaghetti and DeBoles Macaroni.[1] After briefly attempting an acting career, he became, at 20, a Wall Street trader on the floor of the commodity exchange.[1] He met future wife Dina Sullivan, a cosmetics salesperson at a Bloomingdale's department store, in December 1984; they married on November 2, 1985.[1] In 1990, Lohan was investigated for insider trading and convicted of criminal contempt of court. He was sentenced to three years in jail in Nassau County, and was released in 1993 on five years probation.[1]
He was arrested on probation violation in 1997 after flying to Los Angeles, California, to visit his actress daughter, Lindsay Lohan, who was hospitalized with asthma. He subsequently served a year in prison.[1] By 2005, with Linday Lohan having become a movie star, tensions arose in the family. Lohan and his wife's youngest brother, Matt Sullivan, had a fistfight outside the Lohan home on Long Island, during a communion party for the Lohans' son Dakota. Lohan was charged with attempted assault, and while awaiting sentencing had a car accident that led to his being charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle.[1]
After serving a two-and-a-half-year sentence in the Collins Correctional Facility, Lohan began working as a minister and counselor with the Long Island Teen Challenge rehabilitation program.[citation needed] He has also been involved in various television proposals, including a show about him and his family life, and, in 2007, the Michael Lohan Reality Project, produced by Frozen Pictures, which followed his life, work and efforts to reconnect with his daughter and family.[citation needed]
He and Dina divorced in 2007. The couple have four children: Lindsay (b. 1986), Michael Douglas Lohan Jr. (b. 1987), Ali Lohan (b. 1993) and Dakota "Cody" Lohan (b. 1997).[2]
A Montana massage therapist, Kristi Kaufmann, asserted that Michael was intimately involved with her in 1995 while he was separated from Dina. She claims that he is the father of her daughter, Ashley. On June 30, 2008, Lohan submitted a DNA sample for a paternity test.[3]
On 28 August 2008, Lohan's father, Richard Lohan, who had colon cancer, died aged 73.[4]
