Lindsay Lohan wants to star in a biopic of controversial late silent movie star Clara Bow. Hellraisier Bow, who died in 1965, was regarded by many as America's first sex symbol, but suffered several bouts of mental illness.

Lohan - who posed as Bow for a magazine photo shoot in 2006 - claims she would be perfect for the role because she can relate to the 1920s starlet.

She says, "I definitely relate to a lot of the things that she went through. Not with her family, but the trials and tribulations of Hollywood, to an extent."
