Mr. McConnell will reveal discoveries from his ongoing research into Ayn Rand's life, focusing on her relationships with her Chicago family, Frank O'Connor's family, and various Hollywood friends, including a beautiful actress living in Nazi Germany, an actor who fought in the Czar's army, a Moscow-visiting Marxist, and "Peter Keating." These stories come from Mr. McConnell's interviews with the families of Ayn Rand and Frank O'Connor and from other unpublished Ayn Rand Archive material.
