In Liz Costume

Here she is: It’s Lindsay Lohan in full Elizabeth Taylor costume (that tacky ciggie, I do believe, is pure La Lohan, though), reclaiming her own real-life role as an actress.

The first pic of back-to-brunette L2 made its way to the Web yesterday, and the response was...not great.

Like, the lot of comments I read online likened her more to Joan Crawford than to Taylor.

Ouchie.

I guess we’ll have to wait and see how Lifetime’s Liz & Dick, co-starring Grant Bowler as Richard Burton, turns up before we pass informed judgment. In the meantime, click here for another look-see at Linds as Liz, this time in a leopard-print one-piece bathing suit.

Update: Now check out this official first pic of Lohan and Bowler in character.
