On that same day, a chance meeting with DeMille brought her to the set of The King of Kings where she was hired as an extra for the film. But, it wasn’t until her 1936 Broadway success, Night of January 16th, that she first achieved fame as a writer. The play, a courtroom drama that was tried before a jury drawn from the audience each night, had two endings for each verdict. Although a success, it was Ayn’s first struggle to keep the integrity of her script intact from those who did not share her vision..

Story of a once-in-a-millennium spirit
Sense of Life is also special in providing perhaps the best available popular synopsis of Rand’s ideas… by following her progress through the novels: We the Living, Anthem (novelette), The Fountainhead, and Atlas Shrugged.
