This is yet another “official” promotional image from The Most Important Television Movie of Our Time, The Crack Chronicles: The Making of ‘Liz & Dick’. Seriously, I would rather watch the “making of” Liz & Dick than actually have to sit down and watch Lindsay crack-rasp her lines in between her horrid crack-pouting. But to hear the Lifetime people talk, this is the most magnificent production EVER. The rules for the Academy Awards are going to be re-written so The Cracken’s performance as Elizabeth Taylor can be nominated.
When Lindsay Lohan first walked onto the set of Lifetime’s Liz & Dick dressed as screen legend Elizabeth Taylor, “there was an audible gasp,” the movie’s costume designer, Salvador Pérez, tells PEOPLE. “You’d swear it was Elizabeth.”
Dressed in Taylor’s favorite styles — jewel-toned cocktail dresses, fur coats and those famous gems (well, good fakes) — the actress looked remarkably like her screen idol. “She just walked into the clothes and became Elizabeth Taylor,” says Pérez.
Producer Larry Thompson had some of Taylor’s most famous bling, including the 33-carat Krupp diamond, recreated for the film. “Part of the magic is the wardrobe,” he says. “And Lindsay said she wants to bring magic to the movie.” Many of the vintage dresses fit her like a glove, too; Lohan’s waist measures a tiny 23 inches, while Taylor’s was a mere 22 inches.
Lohan will wear 66 different looks in the 80-minute biopic, which begins in 1961, ends with Richard Burton’s death in 1984 and focuses on their tumultuous relationship (an affair while she was still married, two weddings and two divorces). To prep, Lohan hired a voice coach and even dyed her auburn hair a deep brunette to better match Taylor’s dark tresses.
Lohan’s hair and makeup will span all of Taylor’s looks, from the long lashes and red lips of the 1950s (attained using M.A.C’s “Hot Tahiti” lipstick) and the Cleopatra-inspired eyeliner and nude mouth of the ’60s to her teased ’80s bouffant, always with her trademark eyeliner to accentuate her famous violet eyes. (Lohan is wearing opalescent lavender contacts for the role.)
“She brings in makeup for me,” makeup artist Eryn Krueger Mekash, who’s using mostly Chanel, Dior and M.A.C products, tells PEOPLE. Adds the movie’s hair stylist, Beatrice De Alba, “She looks so much like her. There was a moment when she saw her picture on the monitor and said ‘I’m her.’ It was thrilling.”
“There was a moment when she saw her picture on the monitor and said ‘I’m her.’” I think the makeup artist is misquoting The Cracken. Lindsay saw herself on the monitor and said, “Ew, gross, that’s such a horrible shot of Liz! She looks like such a sketchy hooker.” Why is this whole thing like a children’s story gone awry? One of my favorite stories when I was a kid was “The Emperor’s New Clothes”. That’s what this is – why is everyone even bothering to pretend that Lindsay is NOT a wildly offensive choice to play Elizabeth Taylor. Look at these photos – The Crackhead simply does not resemble Taylor in the slightest.
Did you notice – my question about the jewelry reproduction was answered. Lifetime can’t afford to even borrow any real gems, so everything is being recreated on a budget. And I bet Lindsay STILL crack-heists every single (faux) bauble.
Do you believe Lindsay’s waist is 23 inches? I don’t. I’m not judging her size either way, I simply don’t believe her waist is 23 inches.

Well, everything looks different through crack colored glasses, she must be passing them around..
Nah, it’s something far simpler. Even makeup artists have to make rent – and we’ve all read about how just self-entitled and narcissistic she is – if you are stuck working on this job, I can’t help but think the general view on set is “She is going to go completely sideways if she hears us say ANYTHING negative to the press” and everyone is just smiling, by now with a slightly manic edge, and just trying to get through the day.
“Of course you look like her, of course you look stunning, who ELSE could play this as well as you” while frantically wondering if maybe their parent’s were right and it would be better to leave show business and join the family accounting firm rather then deal with ANOTHER hysterical drug addled “starlet”.
This.
I could never be a makeup artist or hair stylist on a film set. Firstly, I’m still struggling to apply eyeliner in a straight line, secondly, by the sounds of it, you’d need the patience of a saint.
Apparently one of her “requests” on-set was Shots of Delusion for EVERYBODY!
Because only that and a healthy sense of self-preservation could POSSIBLY be the reason everyone else is giving such glowing statements.
Seriously, whose d**k did she (or her mother)suck to get this role?? Yes, it’s only “basic cable” BUT there’s not one thing about Lindsay Lohan that even remotely suggests Liz Taylor. Facial structure is completely different, and Lindsay’s bod is as straight & thick up and down as Liz’s was curvy & hourglassy. She is a joke and this tv flick will only further cement that fact.
janice dickenson mixed with rosie o’donnell
You took the words from my mouth, except I think she must have switched to hallucinogens, they are harder to detect in a blood test. Also, were her eyes always blue, I never noticed because her pupils are usually so dilated I never noticed she even had irises.
Also, I’m not surpised she brings her own makeup, you know she’s much more experienced than a make up artist. Only the best for Lilo (sarcasm)
She looks nothing like Elizabeth Taylor. Elizabeth was a true beauty. Lindsay even in her prime “Mean Girls” days could never compete.
I have heard numerous places that Elizabeth hated being called Liz.
Elizabeth said that in an interview with Barbara Walters.
And Richard Burton hated being called Dick … he was usually Rich to family and friends, except Elizabeth always called him Richard.
Seems like Lifetime has an unhealthy disrespect for them all around, doesn’t it?
If/when Lilo cracks out on set and is unable to complete the project, maybe they can hire Amanda Bynes in her place. She couldn’t resemble ‘Liz’ less than the Cracken…then again, she would need a transportation service to come get her and we all know Lifetime couldn’t afford that, so never mind.
I’m not going to bring her down. People are cruel. She doesn’t work – it’s bad. She works – it’s even worse. Leave her alone. We need to support her.
Agreed. The whole slamming Lindsay thing was fun for a while.. She has a problem, lets hope she’s working through her issues. It’s time for us to move on
That is some f*cking bullshit that we should support her. Hell to the no!!!! There is no reason to support this self entitled little twit!. It’s because of all her supporters that she ended up in this predictament. It’s about time she learned the TRUE hard lessons of life without constantly having everything sugar coated for her.
Read my mind NeNe. The last thing little miss FU on her nails deserves is our support
Why is it time for us to move on?? She put her cracked out, crouch showing, boob showing, falling down drunk self out there for all to see. So, again..why should we move on? Those promos are photoshopped from one inch of LILO’s life. She doesn’t even come close to looking like Liz Taylor. Only in her dreams. All one has to do is look at the actual photos of the filming and see that the old lady 25 year old is still a mess mentally and physically. She’s a joke. And, she did it to herself. She chose the drugged up, drunk life over her career so we can talk about it all we want. She’s the one who needs to move on and get out of the limelight and get the help that she needs. If she did that, maybe one day she would be better and could possibly work again. But, for now…she is a mess and it’s just a great big ole NO!!
Why?
no, we dont have to support her. there is absolutely nothing likable about her that would make people want to support her.
Ill save my cheers and support for people that not only deserve it but appreciate it as well.
Well said Macey!! Golf clap 🙂
How many chances does she get? By all accounts she is difficult, ungrateful, and entitled. I would rather see other aspiring actresses get the opportunities she is somehow still getting. She will never change her ways if she can still get roles.
Oh, honey, I don’t think she’ll change even when she stops getting roles. There is such a thing as “too far gone.”
Nobody is obligated to support her, Jill. I, for one, would be very very happy to see her turn things around and become a successful working actress but she hasn’t really shown that she wants it. She talks about wanting an Oscar, sure, but does she have the commitment and drive to achieve that? Not sure but I do know that she has yet to prove herself. She talks the talk but doesn’t walk the walk. Until she does, people will criticize, period.
She needs to support herself (including a bra)first. If she were serious, she would have checked herself into a good rehabilitation facility for a minimum of 6 months. Someone who is an addict of her magnitude cannot cure themselves.
Personally, I’ve no desire whatsoever to bring her down. But I do think this is mis-casting. She looks absolutely nothing like Elizabeth Taylor. Who knows, maybe her acting will bowl us over. I doubt it, though. But I’ll watch anyway!
Hey Jill! Move that cone, I’m Lindsay Lohan!
you have to be on crack too to say something like that!
We NEED to support Lindsay Lohan? Don’t think so. The last thing a self entitled “recovering” addict who hits the clubs til all hours, distorts her looks with over the top cosmetic procedures, and poses like a desperate ho for creepy, way-older, d-bag photog is SUPPORT from the anonymous public. She needs genuine help from a highly competent therapist and an agent who doesn’t subscribe to the motto that any & all attention is good, while Lindsay remains firmly on trainwreck status.
Remember that post that used the word “offensive” in the title? Well, I believe that word was justified, as she is offensive on so many levels. But what is equally offensive is that these people have taken a page of the Cracken’s book: if we keep saying something is true, poeple will believe it! So they keep telling us how everyone marvels at the uncanny physical resemblance (ha!), but also, it appears, the spiritual and psychic reincarnation of the great Elizabeth Taylor has been mystically achieved in the person of this dead-eyed crackwhore. WE ARE NOT BUYING IT, LIFETIME!
Everyone on that set must be locked into an airtight gag order that doesn’t allow them to talk about her antics. Interestingly, everything about her make them gag.
Amen to that!!! I couldn’t agree with you more.
And we all know that for the most part, it is her darling mother that is starting all this b*llshit about how wonderful Lindsay is, and how ______________. Let’s face facts….Lindsay is nothing but PURE WHITE TRASH!!
I didnt know that Liz had a double chin.
Lol
haha
LOL! She didn’t!! And, LILO has alcohol bloat badly. She needs to lay off the sauce for a while. The bloat could go away if she put the bottle down for a few days. Train wreck…train wreck Choo choo!!
It’s crazy to me that her face is so bloated while nothing else is. Is that coke or bulimia?
As for the waist size, I believe it. I worked with Lindsey on set a few yrs ago on Ugly Betty. The girl was super skinny and taller than I expected. Her waist was TINY. A few months later she lost weight and there were all these stories about an eating disorder, etc. I cudnt imagine her being SKINNIER than the time I saw her.
All that to say, she looks about the same size she was when on Ugly Betty. 23 sounds about right.
yeah, it’s more like the second or third of her many chins circumferences 23 inches. Yikes!
every time i clicked on one of LL post, i dread it would be some “set meltdown”, “late by a few days”. something that compromises everyone’s schedule.
every time it’s not about it, i am relieved. to the point where i’m okay with whatever pimping lifetime does.
either she’s really revamping her work ethic, or someone put a tight lid on those kinds of story.
for the sake of a positive start to the day, i’ll say the first until proven wrong. i hope not.
turn a new leaf, lindsay. you’re still young!
I doubt she’s changed her work ethic for one compelling reason: Glee. That was her chance to show she’s reformed. Tons of actors on set, and a few non-actors there for a tiny part like her, playing themselves. Perfect opportunity to show she’s changed, word would have spread like the proverbial wildfire if she had showed up early, made no demands, paid attention, and given a stellar performance. Didn’t happen. As usual, she held up production for hours, wrecked other people’s schedules, and the performance delivered was at best “not any worse than the other non-actors in the scene”. Not the actions of someone serious about acting. I’m sure she can play herself as angry because she’s such an angry person, but I doubt she can play Elizabeth Taylor being angry. No depth or stretch, even when she was younger and not yet so damaged by all her drugs and booze. She can only play herself.
She looks just like….Lindsay Lohan in a brunette wig.
BTW…Jewel is playing June Carter Cash in a Lifetime movie and she looks more like JCC than Lilo does Liz.
Agreed. Granted, Linds looks pretty damn good in the red photo but she looks nothing like Elizabeth Taylor.
Photoshopped. Anyone can look good with photoshop. Check out the actual photos from the filming of the movie..she looks like a homeless person with bloated face and body!!
Exactly, Brin.
her coworkers must be all crackheads too.
OMG they’re really trying hard to sell us the Crack
What an insult..
I feel bad for the PR person for this movie. What a nightmare, having to make it all sound so wonderful.
The PR is downright odd, it must be all Lohan’s people. Lifetime movies don’t need that kind of publicity long before they are on the schedule. They do their promos on the network at the appropriate time, targeting their real audience. The producer might be looking for a personal boost and using Lohan’s notoriety in the tabloids and her people’s peculiar push to spin everything to make us believe she’s a star. But it is all just plain weird. All this fuss over a long tv show?
she must be spiking the punch over there
She even looks wasted in the photoshopped publicity shot! Sadly, this thing will probably get huge ratings. I can’t stand her but I’m going to watch it because it looks like it’s going to be the best comedy of the year.
Clearly, the Cracken’s delusions are contagious.
They need to just stop. The lies and delusions they feed this nut is part of the reason she is the way she is. Everyone around her lies and tells her this shit just b/c she’s their meal ticket meanwhile the public that has to look and read about her shake their head is disgust not just about how she looks but how she acts as well, which is awful.
Cant be healthy to live in such a delusional bubble filled with lies from her sycophants while everyone looking in thinks shes a pathetic joke.
Yup. This whole constant “LINDSAY IN YOUR FACE”…”LINDSAY IN YOUR FACE” is like an annoying strobe light that gives you a headache.
Just stop. It’s obnoxious and ridiculous. Who else does this? No one except outrageous no talent famewhores looking for attention.
Liz had a small, refined face. Even in her drug bloat, her face remained enviably small. Sherilyn Fenn in her heyday bore a resemblance to Liz but even she was no match to the late legend. LiLo is too All-American looking to be Liz.
Yes, she had a small refined & delicate heart shaped face.
The way I read it, it sounds like the costume creator and the makeup artist are giving themselves some credit, not Lohan. The article in general sounds like it’s about them and not her.
Oh my Lord, she looks NOTHING like her. It makes me sick. She’s so deluded. She just looks like herself, dressing up for Halloween or some shit.
I’m sorry but I am of the generation that remembers Elizabeth Taylor at that age and Lindsay Lohan Looks NOTHING like her and can never look like her even Photoshopped to Hell and back…the shape of her face is wrong, they eyes are wrong , Elizabeth didn’t have dead eyes…..the Hair I have seen is wrong wrong wrong…Her hair was short at chin length unless she dress in her two foot long ponytail as in the second wedding pictures…but on the boat she wore it short …just google it and see how wrong they have got it..and never in her life would she wear a scarf the way Lindsay has it on..like a housewife covering her curlers….!!!
Back to whats wrong, Lindsay figure is wrong and if she as a 23 in waist then I have a 19 inch waist LOL…Elizabeth was curvy and soft and plump in the bust…Lindsay just flat and flabby skinny..has no ass, sagging boobs and a poochy belly…
They can scream it from the high test mountain but LINDSAY LOHAN LOOKS NOTHING LIKE ELIZABETH TAYLOR>>>>>>>
I’ve also thought that the cast and crew on this film must have been required to sign some sort of non-disclosure / gag order to work on this film.
Lifetime is going all out to make sure there is only positive press coming out about LL’s behavior on set.
I don’t think it’s Lifetime putting this stuff out…it’s LILO and Dina calling the paps telling them where they are so they can take pictures. It’s pathetic!! Lifetime needs to put a stop to it too!! You would think she was up for an Oscar with all the photos being put out there for this low budget, Dina produced lifetime movie. Please…..
@deep is right. It’s all her and her mother giving daily reports, incl those photos in wardrobe when she was trying on costumes.
She thinks she needs to be in the media every day to stay relevant, that’s why she was showing up to everything to get her photo taken, even though she looked awful. Now it’s all about being on set.
Lohan’s waist measures a tiny 23 inches . . .
There is no way. I saw those pictures of her on the boat in the swimsuit. She is thick in the middle. The only way she would have a 23″ waist is with a Gone with the Wind style torture corset
“Sketchy Hooker”
Yes! She looks like a Bunny Ranch impersonater for all the Liz Taylor lusters. (and it’s actually pretty creepy)
By voicing my opinion it doesn’t mean Lindsay isn’t good enough for ANOTHER role BUT she is NOT in any way an Elizabeth Taylor! Not even a poor man’s busted Taylor. She didn’t just “walk into the clothes” what and violet contacts just walked into her glazed over eyes? Wth are the Lifetime PR Team smoking over there. Ya know a movie is budget when the “Star” brings in the designer makeup for the makeup artist & not vice versa! – Yes, Elizabeth Taylor specifically told Barbara Walters in one of her numerous sit down interviews that she HATED to be called Liz & it was never ever Dick! Actually Liz & Dick even sound budget! Lifetime wth happened w/ you guys???
“Liz & Dick” sounds like the name of a a bad sit com. Terrible. I agree with you and others that she does not resemble Liz Taylor. I will say though that if she had the talent to channel Liz then her appearance wouldn’t be as big of a distraction. Not sure if you saw “My Life With Marilyn” but as much as I love Michelle Williams she did NOT look like Marilyn to me. Yet somehow she captured an “essence” of Marilyn that was convincing enough for me to believe it, framed within the context of the film. Now the question is-is Lindsay capable of channeling Liz Taylor? I just doubt she’s talented enough to pull it off. I mean, I get that it’s Lifetime but she could still sell it if she was talented enough….
Just to be fair, I looked at some pics of Elizabeth Taylor and came back to the site, and Hell No, she doesn’t look like her at all. Just plain ‘ol cracken in a bad Liz Taylor wig…sad…soooooooooooooooooooooo sad
She just looks like the regular Cracken, except with more clothes on.
crackin and whackin with a wig..poor liz
Whatever. I guess it’s hard for me to get past all of Lohan’s past shenanigans. I don’t think I’m alone. I just don’t respect her as an actress or even regard her as an actress anymore. As far as the co-workers, you say what your employer wants you to say…it’s your job.
“And Lindsay said she wants to bring magic to the movie.”
By “magic” does she mean she magically turns into the actress she was 8 years ago? Ya know, when she actually had potential? Listen, I’m happy she’s working but let’s not pretend that this is going to be some break-through performance. You’re not Michelle Williams, Linds. You can’t channel an icon the way a true talent can.
I think “magic” is a code word for “coke.”
Boo-could be coke or could be Oxy. Take your pick.
Magic is the name of her drug dealer.
Lindsay looks beautiful – it would be cool if she kept the dark hair.
LMAO!! and…LMAO again. Hello Dina
Try a non-photoshopped pic Mitch and see if you still feel that way.
A face only a mother could love. Hello Dina. TLC called, they want you and Lindsay to guest star on Toddlers and Tiaras. Don’t forget your go-go juice.
LOL I wanted to support Lindsay for you know… actually working and if she turned it around and did amazing I’d be glad for her buy I just can’t help finding it offensive that the first movie since one of the greatest and most beautiful actresses in the world died is a flop lifetime movie with LL looking like a hooker working as a part time fuck a like.
Well, it’s a good source of humor, if nothing else. The bottom line is that I doubt anyone in the studio really gasped in adoration, I think their PR team understands that they’re taking a risk in doing this and that most people think it’s ridiculous. But they still have to sell advertising and they still have to pay people, so they have to promote it like she’s Elizabeth Taylor reborn. It’s joke, and she is bargain bin low budget, but it’s business. It should comfort them that a lot of people will tune if if only for the train wreck.
I see absolutely nothing of Elizabeth Taylor in LL no matter how many cheap wigs they put on her she still looks like LL playing dress up.
I want to know what drugs they are taking, and where can I get them.
She does not look anything like Elizabeth Taylor. That said she looks better with dark hair. Not good better, just better. 🙂
In that header picture she looks more like a ‘roided up Megan Fox transsexual. Comparing her in any way to Elizabeth Taylor is offensive.
*Sigh* If Lilo wasn’t such a narcissistic tool, I would support her despite her issues with drugs. I’m not overly offended by the fact she’s playing Elizabeth Taylor as I am that her bad attitude has once again been rewarded.
Yeah, I’m all for second chances when they are worthy. When someone goes away and does the work and gets clean then they earn that chance for redemption.
But she has done nothing to prove she’s changed, and quite frankly, no one recovers from substance addiction that quickly. It’s a long process of therapy, during which genuine recovering addicts try to avoid triggers. They also try to simplify their lives until they are strong enough to deal with more without relapsing.
The addicts who don’t change their lives, (particularly the people and places they hang out), all end up relapsing. In fact, until you can do this you are not really ready to quit. They don’t get the time away to deal with the underlying issues so they don’t learn the skills to avoid the same temptations. They end up using again in no time.
So Lindsay goes to her mandatory community service gig, begrudgingly, and then spends a few days at home before returning to exactly the same lifestyle she had before.
Based on that, she has actually demonstrated no real interest in getting clean. Anyone who gives her a chance because they believe she really means it this time is deluding themselves.
tldr: LL is still a junky and doesn’t want to change. People are suckers to give her a chance.
Agree with both comments.
Just because you put a wig and makeup on someone does not mean they’ve transformed into the person/character they are portraying. Now if she could act and make us believe she was Elizabeth that would be a different story but we all know that just won’t happen.
Are we sure the gasp wasn’t Lindsay walking out of her trailer with a syringe still hanging from her arm?
Might be nice to have some side-by-sides of Elizabeth Taylor, for comparison, in the hair style and clothing that they’re going for in these shots.
Funny how a beer baby (gut) can be “23 inches.” Who knew?
Even when Ms. Taylor had a bad day, an off day, a sick day she still looked 1000% better than crackie on a good day.
There is absolutely no physical resemblance.
Suuurrreee…just keep saying it, Lifetime…it will make it so! (Just ask Lilo..it’s her own personal motto!!)
Well, She is working and starting off on a good start. I am not saying she looks like Liz Taylor but the fact that she is putting in the work to play the role counts for something. She doing what she is suppose to do and so far from the pics she look nice. No she isn’t Liz Taylor because Liz is in a lane all by herself. Lindsay is doing something positive while trying to get her life in order.
As for her personal life well it is what it is “Her Personal Life”
That is just my opinion…
IT’s funny that the yelLow tape says “CRIME SCENE DO NOT CROSS.”
O-m-g she does not look like Elizabeth in ANY of those pix. And what’s she going to do about Elizabeth’s sweet, girly voice?
Guess when Dina decided to produce this mess of a movie with her druggy, drunk, classless daughter as the lead..she obviously didn’t think about that one. so, what the finished product will be is a drag queen. Cause, LILO sounds just like a man. And, looks just like a man in drag. My apologies to all of my drag queen friend. I know you can do a better job at this than LILO any day of the week. 🙂
To quote the above article, “To prep, Lohan hired a voice coach”
Problem solved LMAO.
This sounds like the budget is so low, they have to resort to product placement in all press releases.
Cracken doesn’t have the bone structure; structural garments; or the grace to play Dame Elizabeth.
This isn’t some Long Island middle school play.
Clearly they are all getting a contact high from being around the Cracken too long. Ventilation, people!
The time period that they are using for this has already been made into a movie. It was on lifetime and I watched it. It was a few years ago. And..the actress who played Liz did a pretty good job. So, my question is, why are they doing this movie at all?? It’s already been done. ????
It’s already been done? As in done by lifetime or just played on lifetime? Tho either way it still makes this new attempt at a movie look even more like lilo’s posturing. Just like when lilo wrote that intro to a Monroe book
Meee mee meee Liz Taylor was just like meeeeee look at meeeee aren’t I the greatest?
Yes, a movie re Liz and Burton has already been done. It was when she was still alive. And, I don’t know if Lifetime was the first to premier it or if it premiered on another channel and they bought it to air on Lifetime. And, I must say, the person who played Elizabeth Taylor was really good. And, very pretty. So, why they are choosing to do this movie with LILO I will never know.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113680/ A link re the movie that has already been made about Elizabeth Taylor in 1995. The title of the movie is Liz: The Elizabeth Taylor Story
She still only looks like Lindsay Lohan trying to play dress-up as Liz Taylor. If she hadn’t gone off the deep end years ago but continued on with her once natural talent and body and face, she might’ve actually been able to pull this off. Now? Cracked out delusions all around. And I agree: I’d rather watch the Making Of than the actual thing 🙂 It’d have to be an honest Making Of though!
NO, she does not look like Elizabeth, who was a natural beauty. What’s with the lips, Liz was all eyes, She liked the sun and was always tanned, LiLo can’t do tan.
With that bloated face, she definitely does NOT look like Liz. I can’t believe this is happening!
good lighting, makeup and hair staff
I still think they should have used Megan Fox. She looks alot more like Elizabeth than The Cracken does.
I co-sign to this.
I really don’t get the negative energy surrounding this production at all. Actors very rarely look like the star they’re portraying. One of the best biographical films starred Diana Ross as Billie Holiday and Diana looks and sings absolutely nothing like Billie, but she pulled it off.
Yes, Lindsay’s fucked up, but so was Liz. Yes, Lindsays’s fucked up, but this is a damn Lifetime movie. It’s really not a big deal. I’m actually hoping that this will turn out all right, because I liked the old Lindsay and I want her to come back. However if this turns out to be a cracked out mess, who the hell cares. It’ll just be another bad Lifetime movie.
I don’t care for piling on the criticism either, but Lohan and company are pushing out the daily photos and quotes from on set. They are building up this Lifetime movie to be THE COMEBACK and a cinematic masterpiece.
So what? That’s what they’re supposed to do. They want this movie to get good ratings. Of course it’s not going to be a masterpiece. The notion is so ridiculous to me, that it seems like a waste of energy trying to dispute it.
Let’s be honest. She looks like Lindsay Lohan dressed as Liz Taylor, playing Liz Taylor to the worst of her ability. This might end up a fun B-Movie, but it will not be the end-all be-all Elizabeth Taylor film. Frankly, Lindsay just isn’t a good actress.
She looks nothing like Elizabeth Taylor at all. Seems like they are just feeding her and this bound to fail movie a bunch of bullsh*t lies.
Nope x 2 – she does not look like Liz Taylor – not in any of the pics I’ve seen of the production to date. This is just nonsense they’re throwing out there to try to drum up more interest in the movie.
Well I for one can hardly wait to see this movie! I’m glad she’s acting again and hope that everything works out for her.
Hi Dina or Ali…of course you do!!
The Empress is no Liz.
Now that was good for a big laugh in the middle of the day. This chick is only a professional Eff-up. She has gotten through a few days of work, which means there will most likely be some kind of Cracktacular turn of events this weekend. Like a 3am trip to the tattoo parlour for a face or neck piece.
No. Just… No.
Well what do you want? It’s pretty hard to find an actress who looks exactly like Elizabeth Taylor. I think we’ll see a good performance out of Lindsay Geez, cut the girl some slack. Give her a chance instead of grinding her into the dirt.
Megan Fox is too thin and looks nothing like Taylor. She would give a boring performance.
Again hi Dina!! They couldn’t afford Megan Fox. And, IMO Megan is beautiful and would have been a lot better choice for the role than your druggy, dirty looking daughter LILO!! LOL!
Well, Evangeline (?!?) – if you do not like Megan Fox (who would be better than Cracken by leaps and bounds), then how about the truly beautiful, natural, soft and sweet Evangeline Lilly (of ‘Lost’)? She may not be a perfect facial match for Elizabeth Taylor, but with some makeup changes, and some strategic body padding I bet she’d make an Elizabeth that Cracken could not even conceive of in her greatest, most delusional dreams.
As for cutting Hohan some slack – WHY? What has she done to deserve anyone’s trust, anyone’s support, anyone’s good will?
And thought she did nothing to deserve it – there still are some naive, gullible souls out there who are willing to take a chance on her. You seem to be one of them, so here is a question for you – after Cracken’s car crash this morning, on PCH, where she drove straight into a truck for no apparent reason (according to TMZ) – are you still as stout and unchanged in your support of her? Because that would definitely make you leave the realm of sanity and move into the land of delusion.
All my gasps are legible (gasp!!!!), not audible. But then, I did grow up with comic books. Wham! Pow! Gasp!
“She just walked into the clothes and became Elizabeth Taylor.”
No, no, no. Another misquote: “She just walked off with the clothes…”
Hi J.
Oh makeup artist Eryn Krueger Mekash. Hot Tahiti is not a 1950s red. It’s a pinky-brown that could be described as a berry colour at best. Lifetime Press Machine: Learn your cosmetics!
Her co-workers, like Lindsay herself, are delusional.
Audible QUAAAAAAAACK!
This is going to be the greatest train-wreck of a movie (very apropos given the lead actress’s personal history), and I for one cannot wait to view it in all its trashy, tawdry awfulness.
Where are all my Angels? Lady D, Bess, Belle? I miss you guys!
Checking in Madisyn. I’ve spent the last 3 hours covering my plants and flowers. It has been raining for 6-7 days straight and everything is starting to turn yellow and drown. I’m sooo ready for summer dammit.
Angel, I’m sittin in shorts and a t-shirt, hotter that shit in Burbank. What I wouldn’t give for RAIN!
Her waist is not 23 inches. Total BS. And I am not saying she’s fat, I am saying she is straight up and down from the hips up and doesn’t have much waist definition, so basically her hips are also 23 inches?!?! Whatever.
I swear to god, when i saw the top-pic it looked like a halloweencostume.. just to overdone and looks very fake:o If u need that much makeup to look like someone, you just don’t look like’em.
Of course he has to say she looks like Elizabeth Taylor; he’s the freaking costume designer of the movie, if he doesn’t say that he’ll be out of a job.
Goin to the Land of Cheese. YAY!
Well if she’s Elizabeth Taylor than so am I. Fuck it … you know what. I’m Marilyn Monroe. Why not. So nice to have her delusion. Why I feel like the queen of england.
I still don’t understand how she was allowed to play Liz. Legally.
I heard her sons were very unhappy with this casting… don’t they own her likeness/property rights?
Yeah Brittany, I read somewhere that Elizabeth’s family was VERY unhappy about LILO playing the part and tried to stop it. But, obviously they can’t. I wonder why, if the family doesn’t approve that it can’t be stopped? Oh wait, I guess it would be the same as an unauthorized biography that people write and do not have to get permission.
@Brittany…here is one of many articles online re the families disapproval of LILO playing the part of their mom,

In case you hadn’t heard, rehabbed actress Lindsay Lohan is set to portray the late, great movie icon Elizabeth Taylor in a Lifetime Movie called Liz & Dick. It’s not some grand movie production, but Liz’s family is said to be miffed that the good folks over at Lifetime couldn’t at least get someone that remotely resembles their screen legend mother.
A friend of the family said, “Liz’s sons, Michael and Chris Wilding, feel there are many other actresses who are far more qualified to play their famous mother. They think gorgeous and talented stars such as Cate Blanchett or Emily Blunt should have been short-listed for the role. Liz’s children feel their mom deserved better!”
The pal added, “Liz was not only a great movie star, but a great philanthropist, and it’s a slap in the face to her memory to have this errant party girl play her. She’d be screaming bloody murder over this whole fiasco!”
Again, they aren’t going to roll out the red carpet for Lindsay and this isn’t some big Hollywood presentation. I get the family’s point of view, though, and they should’ve had some say in the casting decision — don’t you think? Apparently Lifetime lets any ol’ crackie portray our iconic actresses.

Nope. She doesn’t look like Elizabeth Taylor at all. She looks like Lindsey Lohen playing dress-up. Good point re: her voice – who is financially backing this film? Get ready for a big loss.

IMDB page for the Sherilyn Fenn made-for-TV movie about Elizabeth Taylor made in 1995.
thanks for sharing..I had just stated in an earlier post that a movie re Elizabeth Taylor had already been made. And, I watched it. The Actress did a good job and was pretty too. So, why is this movie starring the lovely druggy bloated LILO even being made. It’s already been done. ????
With my turbie-twist on & my contacts out-a quick glance in the mirror, I too could fool myself into thinking I look like Elizabeth Taylor:/
And, if I squint till things get all blurry, I too can look in mirror and see Elizabeth Taylor. How about that? LOL!!
LOL back to u:) I know right! We can live in delusionville too
After a couple of glasses of wine, I’m a dead ringer for Patty Hearst!
like i said before (oh btw, I’m new to CB! Hi Ladies! I’ve been lurking here for months and I love this group of, presumably gals, such sharp comments!….and I think Kaiser hits the nail on the head with her writing on Hollywood celebs, sort of a HOllywood CSI mixed with deep psychological analysis…)
anyways like I said, Hollywood starlets suffering from SUDs (I made that up!) Self Unaware Disease and Lilo is the poster girl. My guess is 1.) This is really a sly undercover operation from the Lifetime Network to blow the cover off Lilo’s 2nd Coming and when she finally, finally hit’s bizarkdom they’ll get publicity or 2.) the entire cast/crew of this biopic bust has caught SUDs as well, totally self unaware.
It’s not just her look, but i don’t recall ‘Liz’ painted in freckles from forehead to fanny nor do i recall the voice of a 98 yr old hooker/torch lounge singer on her 129 cigarette of the day! That VOICE!!!
Welcome! The community here is more often than not very nice and its one of the reasons I’ve come back over and over again.
