Really? I double-checked the calendar and this isn’t April 1st, so I have no real explanation to offer about this bit of casting news. The Wrap is reporting troubled celebrity Lindsay Lohan is in “early conversations” to play the iconic classic film star Elizabeth Taylor in Lifetime’s Elizabeth & Richard: A Love Story.
 


Elizabeth & Richard: A Love Story will, as the title suggests, focus on the turbulent on-again/off-again relationship between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.
 
Elizabeth Taylor passed away in March 2011.
 
Lohan had at one point been attached to a Linda Lovelace project but was bumped from that in the midst of her legal problems. Malin Akerman eventually took over that starring role in one of the two Lovelace projects currently in some state of production (Amanda Seyfried stars in the other Lovelace film).
