	Ayn Rand was born in Russia on February 2, 1905 as Alissa Rosenbaum. She came to America in 1926 at the age of 21. She published her first novel, ''[[We The Living]]'' in 1936. '' [[The Fountainhead]] '' was published in 1943, and her magum opus, '' [[Atlas Shrugged]] '' was published in 1957. Her novels were based on her conception of the heroic man -- whom she described in ''Atlas Shrugged'' as "a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason his only absolute."

	Initially, Rand struggled in Hollywood and took odd jobs to pay her basic expenses. While working as a Hollywood extra on [[Cecil B. DeMille]]'s ''King of Kings'' she bumped into (on purpose) an aspiring young actor, [[Frank O'Connor (actor)\|Frank O'Connor]], and married him in 1929.

	Her first literary success came with the sale of her screenplay ''[[Red Pawn]]'' in 1932 to Universal Studios. Rand subsequently wrote the play, ''[[The Night of January 16th]]'' in 1934 and published two novels, ''[[We The Living]]'' [http://www.ayn-rand.com/ayn-rand-we-the-living.asp] ([[1936]]), and ''[[Anthem (novel)\|Anthem]]'' [http://www.ayn-rand.com/ayn-rand-anthem.asp] ([[1938]]). ''[[Anthem]]'', despite its appearance as a short story, is actually considered by many to be an epic prose poem. ''[[We The Living]]'' was made into a film six years later, in 1942, by the Italian government under Benito Mussolini, although without Rand's knowledge.

	Rand's first major success came with the best-selling novel ''[[The Fountainhead]]'' [http://www.ayn-rand.com/ayn-rand-fountainhead.asp] (1943). The manuscript for this book was difficult to get into print. It was initially taken from publisher to publisher, collecting rejection slips as it went, before it was picked up by the Bobbs-Merrill Company publishing house. The book was so successful that the royalties and movie rights made Rand famous and financially secure.
