LiLo to play Dame Elizabeth Taylor

Washington, Feb 21 (ANI): Lindsay Lohan has reportedly bagged the role of Dame Elizabeth Taylor in a new TV movie, on the condition that she keeps out of trouble.

The 25-year-old actress was previously named as one of the frontrunners to play the late screen siren in the Lifetime network biopic, 'Liz and Dick', which will focus on Taylor's love affair with Richard Burton, Contactmusic reported.

Executive producer Larry Thompson had revealed that he was in talks with several young Hollywood stars, including Lohan and Megan Fox, for playing the legendary Oscar -winner, who died last year.

"It's a very serious selection. It's like casting for Hollywood royalty," he had said.

It seems that Thompson has now decided to give the job to the 'Mean Girls' star, as long as she sticks to the rules of her probation following a string of legal problems, according to Access Hollywood. (ANI)
