Nervous Lindsay Lohan turned down dinner invite from Liz Taylor

Los Angeles: Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan, who plays Elizabeth Taylor in the new TV movie `Liz and Dick`, said she once turned down a dinner invitation from the screen legend out of nervousness.

The 26-year-old actress missed out on the chance to meet Taylor because she was "too nervous" to join the late legend for dinner - and it`s a decision she will always regret. "She had actually sent me a ring once and invited me to dinner, but I was genuinely just too nervous," Lohan told talk show host Jay Leno. The new Lifetime movie is about the screen icon`s tumultuous relationship with Richard Burton, and Lohan had a little extra insight into the private life of her Hollywood idol thanks to Taylor`s personal nurse. "My entertainment lawyer, he knows the nurse that was with her for about seven/eight years, so I became good friends with her and she was on set most of the days I was working and she actually gave me one of Elizabeth`s furs, which was nice of her. "It was nice to have the inside things that I didn`t know, that when she was home in bed she would karaoke sometimes to (the radio). It`s the small details," said Lohan. PTI
