Television network Lifetime as released the first official photograph of Lindsay Lohan as Elizabeth Taylor.

Pictured in a steamy clinch with her co-star Grant Bowler — who plays Taylor's long-time lover Richard Burton — Lohan looks every inch a silver-screen star. 

But does she do justice to Taylor?

The troubled actress will play the screen legend in the upcoming made-for-television movie Liz and Dick, which will mark her career comeback after cameos on Glee and Saturday Night Live.

The star's casting has been controversial, with some suggesting that Lohan could not pull off the role and others insisting she would be perfect.
