It’s not a secret that Elizabeth Taylor was one of Hollywood’s greatest actresses and starlets. So it makes perfect sense for many actresses to be vying for a role to play the great Liz. This time around, Helena Bonham Carter tries her luck at the famous actress in the new BBC America television movie, “Burton and Taylor”.

Carter, usually known as longtime boyfriend Tim Burton’s muse, will star alongside Dominic West as Richard Burton. “Burton and Taylor” will be a depiction of the couple’s relationship during their stint in the play “Private Lives.” Just last year, Lindsay Lohan portrayed Taylor in the Lifetime film, “Liz and Dick” with Grant Bowler as Burton.

“Burton and Taylor” is set to premiere this fall. Hopefully, with the way Helena looks portraying Liz (AMAZING), this flick will wow audiences way more than Lindsay’s performance did!
