Lone Cypress Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 I have heard from many online sources that state that Ayn Rand called William Edward Hickman brilliant, unusual and exceptional. Can anyone share citation about when and where she said this? i have found that she said he was intelligent. but that is a distinct difference from 'brilliant'.

dream_weaver Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) You can find various discussions done here on Hickman. https://forum.objectivismonline.com/index.php?/search/&q=hickman&quick=1 On a separate search I did using a no longer readily available Searchable CD delimits Hickman to her: Journals - Part 1: Early Projects 1 - The Hollywood Years It looks as if she uses "brilliant" as a quality of a character she was creating based on aspects of Hickman, and not applying it to Hickman himself.
