Photo Flash: Lindsay Lohan as 'Cleopatra' in Lifetime's LIZ & DICK

People.com has released a new image of Lindsay Lohan dressed as one of Elizabeth Taylor's most iconic roles, 'Cleopatra.' The photo was taken on the set of the upcoming Lifetime biopic LIZ & DICK, starring Lohan as Taylor and Grant Bowler as Richard Burton. Check out the photo of Lohan below as well as Taylor's image in the 1963 film!

For nearly a quarter of a century, Taylor and Burton were Hollywood royalty and their fiery romance -- often called "the marriage of the century" -- was the most notorious, publicized and celebrated love affair of its day. Swarmed by paparazzi, Taylor and Burton's love affair was played out entirely in front of the global press from the time they met on the set of the major motion picture Cleopatra, left their respective spouses, married and divorced, only to remarry and divorce once again. Despite their roller coaster romance for the public eye to see, Taylor and Burton shared an undeniable love greater than most people could have ever dreamed.

Liz & Dick will be produced by Larry A. Thompson Productions, Inc. Larry A. Thompson (Amish Grace, Lucy & Desi) will serve as executive producer, with Christopher Monger (Temple Grandin) writing.
