Ayn Rand (Feb. 2, 1905-March 6, 1982)
> Country of origin: Russia
> Occupation: Writer

This best-selling author developed her own philosophical system emphasizing self-interest, calling it “Objectivism.” An influential and controversial figure, Ayn Rand is best known for penning “The Fountainhead” in 1943 and “Atlas Shrugged” in 1957, books which have had a strong influence on the conservative movement. Rand was granted a visa to visit relatives in Chicago in 1925, but after living with her family for a few months, the aspiring writer set her eyes on Hollywood. She met her husband, a young actor named Frank O’Connor, while working as a junior screenwriter on “The King of Kings.” After the couple married in 1929, she became a permanent American resident, then an American citizen in 1931.
