I’m sure Hank Rearden would have approved.
Farrah was skinny enough and would look good in a business suit. However, she would have to straighten her hair. Dagny had a subtle but unmistakably powerful femininity.
I have to laugh about Ayn Rand watching “Charlie’s Angels”. I detested the show (although I love Ayn Rand, despite her many faults). I think the show captured her sense of heroes being almost comical super heroes.
imho I think Fawcett became fragmented when she hooked up with Ryan O’Neal and his clan.
It’s easy to lose your soul in Hollywood and at some point in her career she sold out. I think her most difficult years began when her son Redmond @ age 4 began giving her behavioral problems given the tumultuous relationship and instability she had with the father, Ryan. Ryan O’Neal is a renowned narcissist stemming from his own upbringing.
There was an “artsy fartsy” side to her and somehow i’ve come believe she could have been a muse for a much greater man, but what can you do when you put a narcissist and mirror in one room?
I’m sure he would have too. However, I can’t see her as Dagny.
Farrah was good, but to play the lead in the second most influential book behind the Bible? It’s too much to give to someone of only good talent.
