Lindsay Lohan To Play Elizabeth Taylor In TV Biopic 'Liz and Dick'?!
UPDATE:Earlier this week, it was revealed that Lindsay Lohan wasgoing to play Elizabeth Taylor in a TV film biopic, but it really shouldn't have been a surprise afterthe shoot LiLo did with Karl Lagerfeld for the June 2006 issue of Interview Magazine that saw her posing as the iconic film star when she was just 19. If these photos are anything to go by, we think LiLo is going to look amazing as Liz Taylor.
25/04/12: When we first heard about a possible Elizabeth Taylor biopic, Grazia HQ were all in talks of who would make the perfect Liz Taylor - a brunette Charlize Theron? Zooey Deschanel? Emma Stone?

And now, LiLo has taken critics by storm with her announcement yesterday that sheIS set to play the star in TV film, Liz and Dick. Themovie will chart her stormy relationship with fellow 'Cleopatra' actor, Richard Burton who met while they were both married. Oo errr, this sounds brilliant.
But talkshow host Rosie ODonnellhas spoken out about her concerns over Lindsays commitment to the role, describing her state as not in a place to work. After! having to pull out of the Linda Lovelace biopic last year due to her failure to attend a court hearing for a DUI charge, were happy to see the 25-year-old actress back on her feet.
