LOS ANGELES, Nov. 26 (UPI) -- About 3.5 million viewers tuned in for "Liz & Dick," a made-for-TV movie starring Lindsay Lohan as Elizabeth Taylor, The Hollywood Reporter said.

Co-starring Grant Bowler as actor Richard Burton, one of Taylor's seven husbands (they wedded twice), the telepicture debuted on Lifetime Sunday night.

It was the cable network's fourth-most-watched original movie of the year behind the remake of "Steel Magnolias," and the fact-based dramas "Drew Peterson: Untouchable" and "Abducted: The Carlina White Story," The Hollywood Reporter said.
