Lindsay Lohan left quite an impression on Dennis Quaid when the two worked together on "The Parent Trap." During a recent interview with People, Quaid played the game Drawing from Memory, during which he was challenged to answer questions with a drawing. When asked to draw the infamous torn picture of him and Natasha Richardson that Lohan's characters carry around in the film, he couldn't help but praise the actress.
"My favorite memory from ‘The Parent Trap’ was doing the screen test with Lindsay," he told the outlet. "She was 11 years old, and I couldn't believe that somebody could be that talented.
She was like Marlon Brando, and she was, at 11 years old, she was totally fearless." In the film, Quaid played Nick Parker, a man once married to Richardson's character, Elizabeth James.
The characters ultimately get a divorce, but not before welcoming twins Hallie and Annie, both played by Lohan. After the divorce, the twins were separated from each other, with one twin living in California with Quaid's character and the other in England with Richardson's character.
The two meet at summer camp and devise a plan to get their parents back together.
"I guess he'd be sipping some of the wine out of his vineyard, not traveling too far from home," Quaid told E! News in April about where he thinks Nick Parker would be today. "Yes, he's still with Elizabeth." He called Richardson, who died in March 2009, a "beautiful, beautiful woman," who "is sorely missed" by him and his family.
Quaid also shared that he and Lohan are still somewhat in contact, revealing she sent him a birthday message when he turned 70 in early April. Speaking to E! News about Lohan's talent, Quaid once again commented on how "fearless" she was as a child actor,
