Is that Ayn Rand?
Yes, it's a real question!
One of the non-speaking parts in the film is a rather serious-faced woman who is one of the passengers.
She is the one who is carrying a gun in the scene where passengers are lined up to hit the passenger who is freaking out, each one carrying some weapon (boxing gloves, baseball bat, tire iron, etc). She also is seen looking out the window at Captain Oveur's suggestion when the navigator is being dragged to the back of the plane.
A friend claims that this is Ayn Rand, the author of "The Fountainhead" and t I wonder if that is an urban legend. Does anyone know?
