Lindsay Lohan is said to be playing Elizabeth Taylor (and Cleopatra too) in the Lifetime network biopic Liz and Dick, which will focus on Taylor’s love affair with Richard Burton.

"I have watched Cleopatra dozens of times, and studied her performance in detail. I have to play Cleopatra. I realise how important it is not to muck this up. This is my chance to get on with my life," the 25-year-old told the Daily Mail.
