Last fall Lindsay portrayed the Hollywood icon in the Lifetime movie Liz & Dick. While that movie followed Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton’s romance from beginning to end, Burton and Taylor focuses on their appearances in the 1983 Broadway play Private Lives, which was Richard’s last performance before he passed away in 1984 from a brain hemorrhage at age 58. British actor Dominic West (43,) best known for his work on HBO’s The Wire, plays Burton.
