Sometimes great beauty and great talent/accomplishments do go hand in hand.
You mentioned Ann Coulter but also Michelle Malkin, in the field of Music..Dianna Krall.
Rand wasn’t so much trollish as she was unkempt. She had that bohemian Russian thing going on.
I wonder if there are pictures of her when she was young?
She was pretty good looking before she got that bohemian Russian thing going.
I did a search on google for Ayn Rand a few weeks ago and there was one picture I remember seeing of her face when she was a young woman and I thought she was quite beautiful in it. Some women don’t age well and she didn’t fair very well in that regard.
