The last time she appeared on the small screen, it was to star as Elizabeth Taylor in the critically panned Lifetime biopic Liz & Dick.
So Lindsay Lohan will be hoping that her latest foray into television - playing herself on Charlie Sheen's sitcom Anger Management - will be more successfully received.
A new photograph from the set shows Lohan showing off her cleavage in a low cut lacy bra as she snuggles up to Sheen between the sheets.

The
actress has a coy look on her face as she lays her head down on Sheen's
bare chest, while he has his eyes closed with an arm wrapped around her
shoulder. Lohan filmed her scenes on Sheen's show on Monday and Tuesday this week.
According to Zap2it.com, she plays a version of herself who ends up being counselled by Sheen's therapist after starring on a commercial for a Japanese gum called Number One Happy Whiskey Chew.
The gum tastes like alcohol but contains no booze.

A
still shows Lohan dressed in a school girl style sailor outfit with
strawberry blonde bunches, midriff bearing shirt, mini skirt and
stockings as she 'films' the commercial.
However, Lohan is unhappy at being portrayed in the advertisement as 'some drunk girl that hooks up with strangers and animals,' so ends up in Sheen's therapy room.
The pair's romantic tryst probably doesn't end too well however, with Lohan only appearing in one episode of the show.
Another insider told TMZ: 'Lindsay knew her lines cold and her timing was perfect. She was really funny.'
And apparently the actress 'proved she has talent,' according to the source. 'You watch her and you know why she became a star.'
However, the insider claims Lohan - whose episode will air next month - let herself down on her second day.
Glittering:
At one point in the episode, Lohan changes into a one shouldered sheer
top over a black bra and a long skirt for a glamorous evening look
'She was a colossal pain in the a**,' the source said. 'It's a shame, because when she actually gets on camera she is good and has comedic timing. But she comes with so much luggage it's not worth it.'
'From the moment she arrived yesterday she did nothing but hold up the production,' the insider added. 'She would sit in her trailer and stall and she delayed until she up and left for her boyfriend's concert. She held everyone hostage.'
But another source from the actress's camp refuted the allegations and told E! News that Sheen was 'happy with the actress's work and any insinuations that Lohan deliberately held up the production were wholly untrue.'
Lohan seemed to have a great time in her first acting gig since appearing in court last week.
She tweeted: 'I just had such a wonderful day on set of #angermanagement with @charliesheen & @LIGHTAARON @SaveTheSociety @jazejazz7 and the entire crew!'
A representative for Sheen had no comment, but the star has spoken out as to why he remains one of Lohan's biggest supporters.
