Lindsay Lohan to Star in Elizabeth Taylor Biopic?
Lindsay Lohan is in "early talks" to play Elizabeth Taylor in the Lifetime movie "Elizabeth & Richard: A Love Story," according to Entertainment Weekly.
Who better to play the a glamorous Hollywood icon than a train wreck frequent jailbird Playboy model who hasn't had a notable acting role in years!
The film will focus on Taylor's tumultuous relationship with two-time husband Richard Burton. So how on Earth did they think of Lohan for the part?
Like Lohan, Taylor began her career at a young age, growing up in the spotlight. Some say she made plenty of missteps along her road to icon status.
Lohan also posed for Marilyn Monroe-inspired Playboy photos which allegedly racked up record sales for the mag, resurrecting her career somewhat.
Maybe a Liz T. photo spread is next? Eh, maybe not.
Elizabeth Taylor passed away in March at age 79.

Please, please, please do not cast Lohan and Elizabeth Taylor. Take a good look at Lily Collins who played the daughter in the blind side. She has the eyebrows, the beautiful shapped face. When I saw here in the movie, I thought omg - a young Elizabeth Taylor.

Lindsay is NOT a good choice. Lady Liz may have been a bit of a termagant from time to time, but she NEVER went to jail for drugs or drinking or not paying her bills.

It was rumored that Lilo would portray the roles of Victoria Gotti and 70's porn star Linda Lovelace, so far she has played Neither role. *I find it hard to believe that a film about Screen Queen Elizabeth Taylor is being considered with Lilo in the starring role. PEACE!!

Well, I guess that is one movie I will not be seeing. Can't stand lilo - Liked her when she was a child actor. Too much drama & bad decisions follow that girl everywhere. If she is to get the role - I will be even more disgusted with the industry. There are a hell of a lot more talented actresses that would be a better choice. I will NEVER pay another penny to see her movies, if she was to make anymore.

Also lets not forget that she not very personable to others around her especially with those she works with. This will b a pain to get the project finished.

Why give this actress that role, she doesn't have the class Elizabeth had... Why!!! This girl needs to worry about putting her life back together before trying to make a comeback. I am for one not going to watch her make elizabeth look bad. Yes, I agree she has her cheekbones but thats it.

I know she messed but I'm still rooting for Lindsey to get this part and get it together!!!! In this pic, with the exception of the blonde hair, they kind of favor. She could do it ;)!
