So This Happened: Lindsay Lohan Channels Liz Taylor

Shine's daily spotlight of the most jaw-dropping photo from today's news.

In case you momentarily forgot, Lindsay Lohan is still preparing to portray the late great Elizabeth Taylor in the TV biopic "Dick and Liz." The movie hasn't even started shooting, but behind-the-scenes progress reports have been making news for weeks. People really want to know if a rehabbed Lindsay can pull of the made-for-TV role of Lifetime (the network not the term by which a person's entirety is defined.)

Based on this image, leaked to TMZ today, she's got the look down. Photographed in full wardrobe and make-up, Lindsay cuts a pretty convincing 1960s-era Liz. Later this week, when filming starts, Lindsay's ability to channel Liz's voice, body language and White Diamonds essence will also be put to the test. Lohan's people want it known she got rid of her bleach blond locks for this role, which is supposed to suggest a Deniro-worthy, method-type level of commitment to the project. If nothing else, she got a good hair cut.
