HOLLYWOOD - Hollywood starlet Lindsay Lohan is desperate to play Diana, Princess of Wales in a movie about the tragic royal's life.

Lohan has confessed playing Diana--who was killed in a Paris car crash in 1997--is her dream movie role.

She says, "It would be amazing. She gave back a lot and was an amazing woman."

Earlier this year, Lohan's mother Dina expressed her fears Lindsay would die in a similar manner to Diana, because she is pursued by paparazzi photographers, as the princess was on the night she died.
