Lindsay Lohan, noted Marilyn Monroe impersonator, may channel her chameleonism in the form of recently deceased Liz Taylor. The upcoming Lifetime movie Elizabeth & Richard: A Love Story is eyeing Lohan, Deadline reports. There’s a noteworthy level of similarity there, as Slate noted in 2010: “Both had domineering stage mothers, little semblance of a real childhood, fame from a young age, substance abuse issues, public emotional outpourings, and copious amounts of tabloid drama.†Doing a made-for-TV movie seems a suspect way to mount a comeback, but when it’s Lohan, it’s not the worst idea to take what you can get.
