Rachel Weisz to Play Elizabeth Taylor in New Biopic The film is called 'The Special Relationship' and will chronicle Taylor's journey from actress to HIV/AIDS activist. It will be told through the lens of her friendship with assistant Roger Wall, a gay man who grew up in poverty in the Deep South. Taylor was one of the first major celebrities to vocally join the fight against HIV/AIDS in the 1980s. Her philanthropic work up until her passing saw her honored with several awards. Other actress who have played Taylor on screen include Helena Bonham-Carter, Lindsay Lohan and Sherilyn Fenn. Weisz received an Oscar nomination earlier this year for her role in 'The Favourite.' She also won an Academy Award for best supporting actress in 2006 for the movie, 'The Constant Gardener.' Besides 'The Special Relationship,' Weisz will appear in the upcoming MCU movie, 'Black Widow.' In a recent interview, the actress said she found it "liberating" to be directed by another woman.
