Lohan embraces Liz Taylor role

A new picture shows the actress made up as Elizabeth Taylor for the new film Liz and Dick.

Actor Lindsay Lohan as Elizabeth Taylor in the television biopic Liz & Dick is a casting coup if the first official photo is any indication.

Lohan channels the screen legend in a black and white photograph released to coincide with the start of shooting of the film, which also stars New Zealand's Grant Bowler as Richard Burton.

The biopic from the American cable TV network Lifetime looks at the enduring love story of the two acting greats.

Bowler, 43, is 18 years older than Lohan, while there was a seven-year age gap between Burton and Taylor, who married each other twice.

Taylor and Burton co-starred in Cleopatra, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and The Taming of the Shrew.

''When you see both of them [Lohan and Bowler] in full hair and make-up, it is the definition of movie magic,'' Liz & Dick executive producer Larry Thompson told the celebrity gossip website PerezHilton.com.

''It was just Fourth of July firecrackers going off in the room. We knew from the chemistry that Liz and Dick live again.''

Does Lindsay pull it off? Let us know in the comments below.
