Hollywood entertainment sites are abuzz. Lindsay Lohan has been signed to play Elizabeth Taylor. It seems this upsets people. Come on the movie Liz and Dick is for Lifetime! This isn't a-list television never mind cinema. It can't be take too seriously. I am more interested in who they are going to cast as Dick. Maybe it should be that guy from Harry Potter who keeps getting arrested! The thing that kills me is all the comments about miscasting. Who cares; don't watch it! Lindsay and Liz do have a few things in common. They were both child stars, loved drinking, pills and partying and outrageous outfits. If you doubt Liz's taste in clothing Google her in the late 60's. She was as inappropriately dressed for a woman her age as Lindsay was for a court appearence. (see above). I sincerely doubt this will be the last biopic of Elizabeth Taylor. She was too big a star and lead to big a life for it not to be made into a larger than Lifetime story. One day a really good actress and a really good studio will make her story into a legend. The Lindsay Lohan version will be soon forgotten and rerunning on Saturday afternoons.
