Lindsay Lohan Meets Tennessee Williams

Say what you want about Lindsay Lohan's off-screen behavior, but the talented actress has picked an interesting mix of films lately - from A Prairie Home Companion to Bobby.

Now she's about to take on one of the 20th century's greatest playwrights - gay or otherwise - with The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond, a never-produced screenplay by Tennessee Williams.

Lohan will star as a sharp-tongued 1920s Memphis debutante who falls for a man (Fantastic Four stud Chris Evans) of a lower station, whom she tries to pass off as a Southern aristocrat.

Production starts in 2007 with a cast that also includes Ellen Burstyn, David Strathairn, and Ann-Margret.

No need to hunt for a leaked script - it was published in a 1984 Williams collection called Stopped Rocking and Other Screenplays.
