Lindsay Lohan ‘ready to sign for Taylor role’

Lindsay Lohan is reportedly in the final stages of signing a deal to play Hollywood legend Dame Elizabeth Taylor.

The troubled actress has been rumoured to be considered for the lead role in Lifetime network’s Elizabeth & Richard: A Love Story.

The movie will focus on the iconic star’s tumultuous romantic relationship with Richard Burton, whom she married and divorced twice.

According to US website TMZ, the 25-year-old star is looking to sign a contract early next week. Lindsay is said to be planning to complete her community service earlier than required to clear her schedule for when filming begins.

The starlet has so far attended 12 morgue visits and four psychotherapy sessions but reportedly has 17 further shifts and six counselling appointments to complete.

Lindsay is due to appear in court today for a hearing to assess her probation progress. If she doesn’t comply with the conditions of her sentence, she could face 270 days in prison.

However, if she finishes her probation as ordered, the actress could be lifted off the legal punishment by the end of March.
