Ayn Rand was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, on February 2, 1905. From an early age, Rand was interested in philosophical questions and fiction writing. She decided to become a novelist at the age of nine and dedicated herself to writing from that point on. Later she studied philosophy and history at the University of Petrograd, graduating in 1924 at the age of twenty. Rand left Soviet Russia for the United States in 1926, determined never to return. She settled in Hollywood, where she hoped to write for the silent screen until she was proficient enough in English to turn to novels. Rand soon found work as a junior screenwriter for DeMille Pictures. It was here that she also met Frank O’Connor, the man who would be her husband for fifty years.
