Liz & Dick

Lindsay Lohan is set to star as the legendary Elizabeth Taylor in the Lifetime Original Movie "Liz & Dick", based on the true story of the screen icon's historic romance with actor Richard Burton. Principal photography on the movie will begin in early June in Los Angeles, it was announced today by Rob Sharenow, Executive Vice President, Programming, of Lifetime Networks. For nearly a quarter of a century, Taylor and Burton were Hollywood royalty and their fiery romance often called "the marriage of the century" was the most notorious, publicized and celebrated love affair of its day. Swarmed by paparazzi, Taylor and Burton's love affair was played out entirely in front of the global press from the time they met on the set of the major motion picture Cleopatra, left their respective spouses, married and divorced, only to remarry and divorce once again. Despite their roller coaster romance for the public eye to see, Taylor and Burton shared an undeniable love greater than most people could have ever dreamed. (Source: Lifetime TV)
