“Liz and Dick” ( eng. Liz & Dick ) is an American television movie featuring Lindsay Lohan and Grant Bowler , which first aired on November 25, 2012 on the women's cable channel Lifetime [1] . Initially, the premiere was scheduled for November 3, but was later moved to November 25 [2] [3] . The film was extremely negatively accepted by critics, who primarily noted the poor and improbable play of Lohan, the weak script and direction, as well as the poor realization of the story [4] . The project also turned out to be a failure in terms of ratings and attracted only 3.5 million viewers, which turned out to be half as many as the film “ Steel Magnolias ”, shown a month earlier [5] .

Casting
Megan Fox and Lindsay Lohan were the main contenders for the role of Elizabeth Taylor during the pre-production [6] . On April 23, 2012, Lohan won the role, and in the light of this, Lifetime President stated: “We are very pleased that Lindsay will play Hollywood's favorite legend, Elizabeth Taylor. She is one of the few actresses who have the talent, beauty and distinctive popularity to play the role of such a provocative star " [7] [8] .
During the production, due to various problems with legal and medical aspects of Lohan, the producers were faced with the problems of insuring her life. According to them, "Lohan is the most insured actress" [9] [10] [11] .
On May 24, 2012, it was announced that Grant Bowler would play the role of Richard Burton . He was approved for the role after their joint reading of the script with Lohan. The film producers originally wanted a Welsh actor, like Burton, and Bowler was New Zealand, but he became the most impressive actor to read the script. [12]
Shooting
On June 4, 2012, the filming of the TV movie [3] [13] [14] [15] began in Los Angeles. 117 costumes were created for Lohan and Bowler, 66 of which were for Lohan [6] . Makeup artist Beatrice de Alba, an Oscar winner, was invited to help create wigs for actors. [16]
June 8 Lohan got into a car accident on the way to the shooting. She crashed into another car and was taken to hospital, but two hours later she left her [17] [18] [19] . On June 20, it became known that the production of the film was brought under the control of the Film Actors Guild of the United States and IATSE when complaints from members of the film crew began to receive complaints about the very exhausting process of filming. Some needed medical attention due to dehydration and exhaustion, including Lohan [20] [21] [22] . The filming was completed on July 3 and the producer of the film, in response to a reaction about offscreen problems, said: “The love story shown in the film is much more exciting and timeless than the production drama that happened off-screen” [2] .
