    Megan Fox

    Many have compared the rumored-to-be-pregnant actress's beauty to Liz Taylor's, and she probably does resemble her more than any other young starlet.

  3. Angelina Jolie

    Angelina Jolie

    Like Liz, Angelina is the most iconic beauty of her day … and like Angelina, Liz caused the Brangelina scandal of her day when her fourth husband Eddie Fisher left his wife Debbie Reynolds to be with her.

  4. Mila Kunis

    Mila Kunis

    Gorgeous 28-year-old Kunis is famous for her different-colored eyes … like Liz, who was known for her violet peepers.

  5. Marion Cotillard

    Marion Cotillard

    The smoldering French actress kinda resembles Liz … and she has an Oscar under her belt.

  6. Olivia Wilde

    Olivia Wilde

    Wilde is known for her cat-like eyes … and her coloring is not too far from Liz's.

  7. Michelle Williams

    Michelle Williams

    Call us crazy, but with a little hair dye, we could see a resemblance here … and look what a great job she did playing Marilyn Monroe.

Hold on a second ... Lindsay Lohan as Elizabeth Taylor? Believe it or not, it's confirmed. Lifetime television announced that the probation queen is going to play the legendary actress in "Liz & Dick," a TV movie based on the violet-eyed beauty's storied romance with actor Richard Burton.

"We are thrilled Lindsay will portray beloved Hollywood legend Elizabeth Taylor," said Rob Sharenow, executive vice president, programming, of Lifetime Networks. "She is one of the rare actresses who possesses the talent, beauty and intrigue to capture the spirit of such a provocative icon."

Lohan added, "I have always admired and had enormous respect for Elizabeth Taylor. She was not only an incredible actress but an amazing woman as well. I am very honored to have been asked to play this role."

Last year, Deadline.com reported that Martin Scorsese was eyeing Angelina Jolie to play Liz in another movie based on the Taylor-Burton love story. Seemed a fitting choice: Not only does Angie have the looks, Liz caused the Brangelina scandal of the day when her fourth husband Eddie Fisher left his wife Debbie Reynolds to be with her.

    Megan Fox doesn't have the skills...not sorry. Even with Lohan's problems, she's still the better actress. And real boobs helps too, lol!

    That isn't an opinion, THAT is a slew of vulgar, slurvish garbage, it added no valuable contribution to the topic, all it did was harshly insult someone who said nothing offensive.

    I picked Lindsay because it was first, to me it would take a great and beauty actress to play Elizabeth Taylor for not only was she a beautiful woman she was one of our old time great actress, so whoever plays her just better do her justice

    She looks close enough to play her. I bet Lindsay had to blow someone to get that gig.

    Megan Fox's look is the closest look to Elizabeth Taylor's with her dark hair and blue eyes but Megan Fox DOESN'T LOOK LIKE Elizabeth Taylor in the least bit. Olivia Wilde and Mila Kunis get my close second vote.
    But at the end of the day, none of these women come close to the legendary Elizabeth Taylor.

    I don't see any of these actresses really having what it takes to portray her as she should be portrayed.

    Lindsay Lohan...all I can figure is she's the cheap option they had.

    If Megan Fox had Marion Cotillard's acting chops; you'd have the perfect woman for the role. Tough call.

    Well, Lohan CAN act... well, she could, had a load of potential at one point...so, I guess we'll just have to see. With any luck, she'll both get her career back in gear and portray an icon well. Fingers crossed.

    ...there is more to acting than looks. Not to mention: hair dye and make-up.
