Donata “Dina” Lohan (born September 15, 1962[1]), née Sullivan, is a television personality and occasional actress who rose to fame as the mother and manager of actress/pop singer Lindsay Lohan, and Lindsay’s younger sister Ali Lohan, with whom Dina co-stars in the reality show Living Lohan.

Lohan was born Donata Sullivan on September 15, 1962 in New York.[1]
Dina and her younger daughter Ali began a reality show, Living Lohan, which debuted on May 26, 2008 on the cable television network E!. Dina is also one of the executive producers of the series.

Lohan has been the subject of media scrutiny for making her daughter Ali the star of a reality television program, and for her regard to daughter Lindsay’s recovery from drug and alcohol abuse. She has responded to the latter matter by insisting that Lindsay’s problems were not her fault, nor those of Lindsay’s friends, but were the result of personal choices, for which Lindsay would have to take responsibility, and that Lindsay was in the process of rebuilding her life.[2] She has also been accused of capitalizing on Lindsay’s fame and personal struggles in order to launch her own career, having been criticized for bringing cameramen from the entertainment newsmagazine series Entertainment Tonight to film her visiting Lindsay in drug rehabilitation, to the ire of her daughter and the facility staff.[3]
Lohan’s claimed career as a Radio City Rockette has also been questioned. According to The New York Post a spokesperson for Radio City asserted that there was no record of Lohan ever being a Rockette, and that executive at Cablevision, which owns Radio City, were indignant that Lohan would claim otherwise.[4]
On August 5, 2008, Anderson Cooper appeared as a guest co-host on the ABC talk show Live with Regis and Kelly, during which he stated, in reference to Living Lohan, “I can’t believe I’m wasting a minute of my life watching these horrific people”, and remarked that Ali Lohan appeared to be a sixty-year-old.[5] In an interview with OK! magazine, Dina Lohan responded, “people are just cruel…This is bad karma for him”. Cooper did not respond directly to Lohan’s comments, but clarified that while he felt bad for Ali Lohan, he opined that she should be living the conventional life of a teenager, and not be made to star in a reality television show.[6] Michael Lohan also responded to Cooper’s comments, telling Access Hollywood, “I think Anderson Cooper is an opinionated, hypocritical idiot who should be an adult and keep his opinion to himself…He is the last person to judge anyone, when he and his own family have their own issues.”[7]

Dina Ali Fahad Al-Salim Al-Sabah (born February 28, 1974) is a professional figure competitor from Kuwait. She stands out from the rest of the Figure competitors for being the only female Arab athlete to achieve pro card status as of 2006; as well as the first female Arab athlete to ever stand on the Olympia stage.

Dina Al-Sabah was born in Beirut, Lebanon. She is of Kuwaiti, Syrian, and Turkish descent. She was born as a member of the Al-Sabah family (she is close lineage because her grandfather was the son of Salim Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah; ruler of Kuwaiti from 1917 to 1921) The Al-Sabahs have ruled Kuwait for over more than two centuries. Ms. Al-Sabah was raised in Egypt, Morocco, Italy and the United Kingdom, and because of this, she was exposed to many different cultures at a young age. A natural athlete, she started horse-back riding at the age of five. Dina Al-Sabah continued her active life style throughout her high school years competing in equestrian shows and participating in track, volleyball and basketball at The American School of Tangier in Morocco.

Due to her various travels, today Dina is fluent in English, Spanish, French, and Arabic. She also holds several degrees: B.S. in electrical engineering, M.S. in telecommunications and computers, and an MBA, all from the George Washington University in Washington, DC.

Dina Al-Sabah first started weight training when she moved to London in 1991. As a newcomer to the country, she did not have any friends and had plenty of free time so she decided to join a gym as a hobby. When Dina came to the United States in 1994 to continue her studies at the George Washington University, she took a more active interest in lifting weights and educating herself on weight training and nutrition.

Dina Al-Sabah started competing in 1999; she decided to try for the NPC Figure Nationals after winning the Monica Brant Fitness Classic in 2001. When trying to register for the nationals she found out that she had to be a United States citizen in order to be allowed to compete at any of the NPC pro qualifiers. Dina did some investigating and found out that the only way she could compete in the Pro Division of the IFBB was for her to have recommendation from the Kuwaiti national federation associated with the IFBB. Unfortunately due traditional Arab beliefs, women are not allowed to compete in any bodybuilding competitions and she was denied a recommendation. This did not discourage Ms. Al-Sabah, she decided to build her profile as a competitor in hopes that somebody would notice her potential. She won several popular NPC competitions in 2002 and brought her case to NPC president Jim Manion, and IFBB president Ben Weider. In November 2002 Dina Al-Sabah was granted an IFBB Pro card.

Soon Dina made a name for herself in the world of figure competitions, winning the 2003 Jan Tana Figure Championships and placing fifth at the inaugural Figure Olympia. These accomplishments have unfortunately come with their share of scrutiny from many conservative Arabs. Because of Ms. Al-Sabah’s decision to compete and model, she has faced criticism, but the negative sentiments have been overshadowed by the many positive comments she has received from many Arab men and women globally.

Currently Dina Al-Sabah is continuing her career as a fitness model appearing in many fitness publications including Oxygen, Ironman, American Curves, Muscle and Fitness, Muscle Mag International and Flex. Ms. Al-Sabah is also the co-host for Living Beautiful Radio and a passionate promoter of issues dealing with female sexuality as well as a reviewer of adult products catering to women and couples.
