Ryan Murphy confirmed that Lena Dunham would be starring as Valerie Solanas in the upcoming "American Horror Story: Cult".
Dunham would be taking on the role of Solanas, the woman who attempted to murder Andy Warhol in the 1960s, in episode seven of the new FX horror anthology TV series, reported Deadline.
"It's about female rage and that's in the country now. Solanas wrote the SCUM Manifesto. She told all women to kill men, and it was their only way to rise to power," Murphy said.
Solanas was a radical feminist who rose to prominence after she moved to New York in the mid-1960s, met American artist Andy Warhol and became a part of his circle of intellectuals and artists.
