WOW! Lindsay Lohan transforms into Elizabeth Taylor for dramatic movie scenes

We've managed to sneak a peek at Lindsay Lohan filming the first scenes for the Liz and Dick movie

After several scandalous years, Lindsay Lohan is finally hitting the headlines for her work rather than her troubled personal life.

The actress has begun shooting the new movie biopic about the late Elizabeth Taylor, in which Lohan plays the great lady herself.

CONFIRMED: LINDSAY LOHAN TO PLAY ELIZABETH TAYLOR

Photographers have captured Ms Lohan and her co-star, Grant Bowler, hard at work filming scenes on board a yacht for the film called Liz and Dick.

In a very heated exchange, the pair seemed to put their all into recreating a less happy moment from Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton's trip to the Bay of Naples in Italy in 1965.

Speaking about being cast to play the late star, Lohan previously said: 'I have always admired and had enormous respect for Elizabeth Taylor.

'She was not only an incredible actress but an amazing woman as well.'

The Lifetime production, which is due to be broadcast in the autumn, will focus on Taylor's fourth and fifth marriages to Burton, and it's Lindsay's first major role since serving time in jail and at rehab.
