Thanksgiving weekend is a time for family and maybe some R&R. So what's better than watching some new original Lifetime TV movies with a holiday theme? There is also a new one about one of the most famous actresses of all-time, played by one of the most notorious actresses of her time. Need a hint? Lindsay Lohan as Elizabeth Taylor.
