Newly named, Rand moved to Hollywood, California to work in the movie business. She met and married actor Frank O'Connor in nineteen twenty-nine. Throughout the nineteen thirties, O'Connor acted and Rand wrote. She published two books during these years, but did not earn much critical or popular recognition.
刚改名字的兰德搬到了加利福尼亚的好莱坞，在电影行业工作。她在1929年遇到并嫁给了演员弗兰克·奥康纳。在整个30年代，奥康纳表演而兰德写作。她在那些年出版了两本书，但是并没有获得什么重要的或大众的认可。
Then, in nineteen forty-three, Rand's famous book "The Fountainhead" was published. It took her seven years to write the novel. Twelve publishers rejected the book. However, a man named Archibald Ogden loved the story and convinced the Bobbs-Merrill company to publish it. "The Fountainhead" became a huge success around the world. It has sold more than six million copies. It continues to sell about one hundred thousand copies each year.
然后，1943年，兰德的著名作品《源泉》出版了。她花了七年的时间写这本小说。12家出版商都拒绝出版这本书。然而，一位叫阿奇博尔德·奥格登的人喜欢这个故事，并说服了博布斯-梅里尔公司出版了它。《源泉》在世界范围内取得了巨大的成功。这本书的销量超过了600万本。它继续以每年10万册的销量销售。
"The Fountainhead" tells the story of a young building designer named Howard Roark. Roark wants to build interesting, modern-looking buildings. However, most people only want to see traditional designs. Roark loves designing and building more than anything in the world. But he refuses to compromise and make buildings he hates. Several people work against Roark and his goals. But in the end, Roark succeeds.
《源泉》讲述了一位名为霍华德·洛克的年轻设计师的故事。洛克想建造有趣的现代的建筑。但是，大多数人只想要按传统的设计建造。洛克最喜欢的就是设计和建造。他拒绝妥协和建造他讨厌的建筑。有几个人反对洛克和他的目标。但是，最后洛克成功了。
"The Fountainhead" is an unusual novel for many reasons. It is more than seven hundred pages long, far longer than most books people read for entertainment. It also includes discussions of philosophy, which are not usually found in popular books. In addition, the book criticizes collectivism and religion in a way that many people have found insulting.
《源泉》是一部不同寻常的小说，原因有很多。这本书长达700多页，比大多数人们为消遣读的书长的多。书中还包括哲学的讨论，这在通俗书籍中是不常见的。另外，这本书还以许多人觉得侮辱的方式批评集体主义和宗教。
Most critics did not like "The Fountainhead." But readers loved it. In nineteen forty-nine it was made into a popular movie. Rand wrote the screenplay. Gary Cooper and Patricia Neal starred in the movie.
