Lindsay Lohan: from channeling Marilyn Monroe in Playboy to playing Liz Taylor on the small screen?
Entertainment Weekly has confirmed that Lohan is in talks to play the iconic star of “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” and “Cleopatra” in the upcoming Lifetime original movie, “Elizabeth & Richard: A Love Story,” a film focused on the tumultuous relationship between Taylor and two-time husband Richard Burton.
