Lindsay Logan has said the following regarding her new role: “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.”
There has already been some drama around the set of Liz & Dick including Labor Union investigations into reported cases of exhaustion by cast and crew members. This came after paramedics were called to the hotel room of Lindsay Lohan on Friday, after she was found unresponsive. Lohan had suffered exhaustion and dehydration and blamed the “grueling schedule” of the Liz & Dick production.
