Jerry Biggers Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Or as Robert Bidinotto recently pointed out on Facebook, This is the actress who should have been cast as Dagny Taggart!I assume that most of OL members know that Humphrey Bogart was in the running to be cast as Howard Roark for the The Fountainhead?

Cooper was as exciting as watching paint dry, imo.Hopefully, before the world ends for me, a big budget remake of The Fountainhead will be done.

Cooper was as exciting as watching paint dry, imo.Hopefully, before the world ends for me, a big budget remake of The Fountainhead will be done.Much worse things could happen to "Ayn Rand at the movies." A really appalling example of what could have happened, was the Oliver Stone-planned remake of The Fountainhead. Hopefully, that project is dead, but to get a good (actually, chilling) example of what Stone had planned, see the rather extensive interview with him, in Ayn Rand Nation, by Joel Weiss, where Oliver discusses the creative changes that he had planned. Imagine the screenplay being written by some real-life "Ellsworth Toohey," say Michael Moore, the late Gore Vidal, or any of the movie industry billionaires (actors and producers) who were gushing and fawning over the late Venezuelan dictator, Hugo Chavez, before he assumed room temperature. Got the picture? No, you don't. Never underestimate the malicious genius of Oliver Stone, himself. Sorry, I can't describe it. Read the interview.No imagined wrath of the Greek Gods could match what Ayn, herself, would have brought down upon Stone (if she were alive and learned of his plans).

Guyau Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Didn't notice much T.V. coverage of Lauren's passing.Yesterday, on PBS Newshour.The first time I saw Bacall was in the '70s at a Chicago theater where they showed old movies. Jerry* and I did not have a television (by choice), but we sometimes went to the movie theater. The film was To Have and Have Not. We laughed and laughed.
