10 Actors Planning To Make Huge Comebacks

10. Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan became a breakout teen idol following the release of 2004's Mean Girls, though her transition into adult roles in the years that followed proved doubly troublesome, per both the ill-fitting projects she starred in and her very public battle with substance abuse.

Since her failed attempt to mount a comeback as a serious dramatic actress in Paul Schrader's 2013 drama The Canyons, Lohan's appeared in just one other movie - the critically-panned thriller Among the Shadows - and a scattering of TV series.

But Lohan spoke recently of hoping to make a feature film comeback, which was confirmed with the recent news that she will star in an upcoming, untitled Netflix Christmas rom-com.

The actress will play a "newly engaged, spoiled hotel heiress," who suffers a bout of amnesia following a skiing accident and "finds herself in the care of a handsome, blue-collar lodge owner and his precocious daughter in the days leading up to Christmas."

While far from a hard-hitting acting showcase for Lohan by the sounds of it, it seems like the sort of frothy, easily digestible holiday-themed genre film which could help endear Lohan to audiences once again.

And because it's on Netflix, she'll be on hundreds of millions of screens across the world in an instant, and also won't have to worry about the box office.

Don't be surprised if this is just the first of a run of Lohan-starring rom-coms to hit the streaming platform over the coming years.
