The romance between Hollywood legends Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton will become a Lifetime made-for-TV movie later this year with the possibility of Lindsay Lohan portraying the stunning icon.

Deadline is reporting the 25 year-old troubled actress is in early talks to take the part in a film due on the schedule later this year.

Elizabeth & Richard: A Love Story is the kind of epic, sensational pairing of actors that spawned intense public scrutiny and tabloid headlines that caught the world’s attention.

Lohan could use a role like this to put her back on the map in acting. She has been posing for ads, Playboy and fashion shoots but hasn’t been able to garner the kinds of roles she was poised to grab before her arrests, rehab stints and legal troubles took over.

Since her part in the 2010 film Machete, Lohan has been absent on the big screen absence but that will come to an end when InAPPropriate Comedy with Rob Schneider, Michelle Rodriguez and Adrien Brody comes out later this year.

Let’s hope that she lands this and it turns around her professional dry spell.
