10 Child Actors Who Reinvented Themselves With Very Adult Roles

6. Lindsay Lohan - I Know Who Killed Me

Fhd007wkm Lindsay Lohan 012TriStar Pictures Given the fact that Lindsay Lohan got her first big break playing identical twins in The Parent Trap, it seems only fitting that the role she would choose to establish herself as an adult actress would also be a set of twins. Unfortunately, while The Parent Trap is a jewel of a children's movie, I Know Who Killed Me is actually pretty awful. The two girls in this film are Aubrey Fleming, an aspiring pianist who is abducted by a killer, and her estranged twin sister Dakota, with whom she shares a psychic connection. Oh, and Dakota is a stripper, too. For no very specific reason other than to have Lindsay Lohan show a little skin. The film got extremely negative reviews from critics and made only $9 million, with a budget of $12 million. Lohan was nominated for two Razzies, Worst Actress and Worst Screen Couple. It may well have contributed to the downward spiral that she's still experiencing to this day. But although this may not have been the way she wanted to start her adult career, the film certainly made a statement, and it kept people talking for quite some time. That's not nothing.
