'Liz & Dick' '/' Lifetime

Lindsay Lohan is no stranger to controversy.

 

In fact, it's one of the things that makes her a lot like Elizabeth Taylor, says the actress in a newly released featurette (click here to see the featurette) for Lifetime's "Liz & Dick," a much buzzed about made-for-TV movie that premieres in November.

 

Bing: More on 'Liz & Dick' | Lindsay Lohan | Elizabeth Taylor

 

"I relate to her on a lot of levels," Lohan says of Taylor, who she portrays in "Liz & Dick." "Living in the public eye and dealing with the stress of what other people say, whether it's true or not."

Lohan, 26, of course has been grabbing headlines for a lot of things lately including another hit-and-run car accident and arrest and a love scene with Charlie Sheen in "Scary Movie 5."

 

But Lifetime isn't squeamish about Lohan's off-camera issues. In fact, the featurette celebrates what they're calling her comeback, declaring her "Liz & Dick" role as her first lead in five years.

 

Kudos to Lifetime for finding silver linings where they can when it comes to Lohan and her career.

 

"Liz & Dick" premieres in November on Lifetime.

Lohan couldn't carry Taylor's brassiere.  For all her marriages, Liz was a classy, talented, and generous woman.  Her generosity continues after her death with all the good works  by AMFAR, the nonprofit she started many years ago at the beginning of the AIDS crisis.  And that's just the most public of her many good works.  Liz was also a loving mother and friend.  She is credited with saving the life of Montgomery Clift.  After Clift wrecked his car near her house, Taylor was the first to come to his aid;   when he couldn't breathe due to severe wounds to his face and head, she reached into his throat to remove the teeth that were obstructing his breathing and stayed with him until rescuers arrived and throughout his recovery.  Lohan couldn't stop partying long enough to aid a friend of family member in that way.  She's a trainwreck waiting to happen, and so are her fame-whore parents.

What a joke casting Lohan as Elizabeth Taylor. They needed to find someone with some grace and class, neither of which Lohan has. But then again, Lifetime isnt exactly known for 1st cl****ductions. I guess they have gotten tired of date rape exploitation.

I just watched the trailer,, LL is still puffy from her booze and pills,, yeah Elizabeth did both,, but the B carried it off!!!! I am sure Elizabeth it UPCHUCKING in her grave.

Liz was a baudy broad,, but spoiled, temper throwing skank,, NEVER,, what a pity Lifetime would waist their money.

I for one wont watch "The Last Star" be defiled like that. AND with LL? is there anything lower than trailer trash? Come on there must be.some phrase!

This literally makes my stomach turn.

If LL is looking for a comeback? Let her play the part of Lassie.

There's no candle B**ch, and Sheen had to be paid to bed you. When Liz hit the papers it was over men and jewels, not drunken behavior. She had the class to hold her drink.
