Lindsay Lohan as Elizabeth Taylor: Your thoughts?
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.
The project has been in development for nearly a year, so it’s unclear how quickly this could happen or whether Lohan, a.k.a. recent Playboy covergirl, is competing against some other strong candidates.
