Lindsay Lohan ain’t no slacker — TMZ has learned, the actress is studying up hardcore for her new movie role … doing everything she can to accurately portray a young Elizabeth Taylor.

In case you haven’t heard — Lindsay just inked a deal with Lifetime to play Liz Taylor in the network’s new made-for-TV biopic called “Liz and Dick.” Production is scheduled to kick off late March, after Lindsay’s probation is terminated.

Lindsay is telling friends, she’s taking her new gig extremely seriously — “obsessing over getting the part right” for the film.
