Lohan desperate for Stevie flick
November 24, 2006

Lindsay Lohan is desperate to play Stevie Nicks in a film of the Fleetwood Mac singer's life.

The 20-year-old actress dreams of winning an Oscar and believes starring in a biopic of a legendary singer's life is the way to get her hands on the golden prize.

A source told Life and Style Weekly magazine: "Lindsay says that movies like Ray and Walk The Line are good examples of the kinds of projects she'd like to do.

"She feels like she's found a dream role in a story about Stevie Nicks at the height of Fleetwood Mac's fame.

Lindsay loves the music of that era, and people have told her she has the same distinctive gravelly voice as Stevie's."


Lindsay believed to be trying to secure the rights to the story so she can produce the film herself.

The flame-haired actress even has a leading man in mind to play Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham - actor Jared Leto.

The pair worked together on upcoming film 'Chapter 27', which is about the assassination of John Lennon. Leto plays the late Beatle's crazed killer Mark David Chapman.

The source said: "She keeps saying what a great team they are on-screen and that she has always wondered why he didn't have a bigger career."
