Lohan takes role
in Tennessee Williams film

An obscure Tennessee Williams screenplay discovered after his death will be brought to the big screen, according to The New York Times. The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond will star Lindsey Lohan as one of the lead roles, Fisher Willow, the despised daughter of a plantation owner.

The screenplay is believed to have been written in the 1950s, but the date is not certain. It was published in 1984 as part of a four-part compilation titled Stopped Rocking and Other Screenplays. Richard Gilman, who wrote the introduction to the screenplay, wrote that Teardrop Diamond was probably "the strongest of the four scripts" and the best for film adaptation.

Production is expected to begin next year. (The Advocate)
