Personal Quote:
I may be the only actress in Hollywood who won't need a face lift, because when I take off my makeup, I look so great compared to my characters!Trivia:
In the beginning of Insidious: Chapter 2, Lindsay Seim portrays a younger version of Elise Rainier, Lin Shaye's character in the Insidious films. Because Lin has such a distinct voice, she was dubbed over Lindsay's. You don't hear Lindsay 's voice at all in that movie. See more »Trademark:
