The Intimate Sex Lives Of Famous People - Plot & Excerpts
After returning to St. Petersburg to complete a university education, Rand gained an American visa to visit relatives at the age of 21. She never looked back, seeing in America the pinnacle of man’s moral development and the antithesis of everything she had despised about the Soviet system. Taking the name Ayn Rand after stepping off the boat to New York, she made her way to Los Angeles, and, after a chance meeting with Cecil B. DeMille, broke into Hollywood as a script reader and, subsequently, as head of RKO Studio’s costume department. There she met her future husband, actor Frank O’Connor, whose quiet dignity and exceptional good looks caused her to fall in love at first sight. After early successes with screenplays, Rand turned to writing novels—her early works, We the Living and Anthem, are still cherished by her fans if less known to the wider public. However, it was the 1943 publication of The Fountainhead, which champions the uncompromising character of its young architect hero, Howard Roark, who refuses to compromise his artistic vision despite having to languish in obscurity, and who ultimately destroys one of his own buildings, which made Rand’s name.
