Screen legends Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton‘s tempestuous relationship is being told as a new Lifetime Movie starring Lindsay Lohan and Grant Bowler. New images have landed online which were taken earlier this week at Lifetime Studios.
Troubled star Lindsay Lohan seems to be putting the focus back on her career, and had this to say about playing the iconic actress:
I have always admired and had enormous respect for Elizabeth Taylor. She was not only an incredible actress but an amazing woman as well. I am very honored to have been asked to play this role.
Liz & Dick follows the decades-long on-and-off romance between movie icons’ Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton after their fateful meeting on the set of the Cleopatra. Their turbulent relationship was well documented by the media, but the two were still considered Hollywood royalty despite their numerous break-ups.

Taylor’s affair with Burton, who was also married, on the set of Cleopatra made worldwide headlines–even the Vatican issued a statement. After ending their marriages, the pair said “I do” on March 15, 1964. The decade-long relationship continued to make headlines for both their extravagance (he bought her a 69.42-carat pear-shape diamond, later dubbed the Taylor-Burton Diamond) and their stormy fights (they were dubbed “The Battling Burtons”). The pair divorced June 26, 1974 after having a daughter, Maria (born Aug. 1, 1961), but remarried a year later Oct. 10, 1975. Their second union lasted less than a year and they called it quits again July 29, 1976. “I love Richard Burton with every fibre of my soul, but we can’t be together,” Taylor said of the Welsh actor.
