RobinReborn Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Ever since Peikoff decided to publish Rand's journals, several publications have put our smear pieces on her. They're almost exclusively about her alleged worship of a guiltless murderer, William Hickman. Of course, the real story is more complicated than that, Rand intended to use Hickman's demeanor for a character who killed a malicious priest. I recall hearing Rand say in some documentary (don't remember which) that when she met Frank he had ideas for screenplays which she thought were unproducable. Could this story inspired by Hickman have been one of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't guiltless. btw - The Little Street could easily become a good story for a movie. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinReborn Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 By guiltless I meant he felt no guilt, not that he didn't commit the murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 If you're interested, we had a good discussion on the Hickman issue a few years ago: J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
