Can’t believe your eyes? That’s really Helena Bonham Carter. The latest actress to portray Elizabeth Taylor, Bonham Carter will play the iconic actress opposite Dominic West (as Richard
Burton) in BBC America’s upcoming made-for-TV movie, _Burton and Taylor_. As the violet-eyed beauty, Bonham Carter, 47, shows off a glamorous side most viewers aren’t used to seeing from the
star known for gritty roles in _Fight Club_, the _Harry Potter_ series, _Les Misérables_ and more. The 90-minute television drama follows Taylor and Burton’s tumultuous on-again, off-again
relationship – including multiple marriages and divorces – against their appearance in the 1983 revival of Noel Coward’s play, _Private Lives_. Most recently, Lindsay Lohan took on the role
of Taylor in Lifetime’s _Liz & Dick_ but was panned by critics and on social media. _Burton and Taylor_ will premiere this fall.
