Lindsay Lohan 'offered to star in Liz & Dick for free'
The actress plays Hollywood star Elizabeth Taylor in the new biopic, set to air on the Lifetime network later this month.
WENN reports that Lohan was so keen to be a part of the project when she first heard of it, she told producers she could do without pay as long as she got the role.
At a screening of Liz & Dick in Los Angeles on Wednesday (November 14), Lohan told reporters: "I didn't get the project at first. I started calling and harassing agents... because I felt people were hesitant [to cast me], which I understood.
"I actually said, 'I'll just do it for free'. My agent was like, 'No, no, no, don't say that'."
Previews of Lohan and co-star Grant Bowler have been released, depicting the young starlet in Taylor's trademark diamonds.
Larry A Thompson, producer of the film, has said that critics will be surprised by Lohan's performance.
Liz & Dick is scheduled to premiere on Lifetime on Sunday, November 25.
