I don't remember Mrs. Rearden. Been too long since I read the book. But I am a big fan of Reese Witherspoon. She always seems to play strong women with admirable characteristics. Women with a moral compass, who fight for what they want/believe. Oh yeah, and she's charming and beautiful. Does that sound like Mrs. Rearden?

Quite the contrary. Mrs. Rearden is a grasping socialite who tries to turn Hank into one of the "Beautiful People." She can't understand why he won't hop in bed with the parasites and whores.

I saw Reese Witherspoon play Rebecca in Vanity Fair, and she carried it off splendidly. That character is the same kind of scheming social climber as Mrs. Rearden.

No - not at all.
