Who is Dagny Taggart?
Beautiful, tenacious, and fearless, Dagny Taggart has inspired women and men alike for over 50 years.
As Atlas Shrugged Part 3 heads to production, some major decisions still lay ahead. For the past several months, we've read all over the web everything from "Taylor was PERFECT!" to "Samantha IS Dagny!" to "You should have case [INSERT NAME HERE]!"
Now it's time for you to tell us directly. Who is Dagny Taggart?
Taylor from Part 1? Samantha from Part 2? If you had to pick someone else, who would it be? Beyond her ability to embody the character of Dagny Taggart, what else should be considered when casting Dagny? Should she already be an advocate of Ayn Rand's ideas? Should she have at least read Atlas?

Angelina Jolie, Jessica Chastain, or Claire Danes.
Right now the only examples which I can use to judge an actress actually playing Dagney are those of Taylor Schiling and Samantha Mathis.
Taylor captured the drive.
Samantha captured the pathos.
I would be happy with either, but I would like to see others.
Is there any way that you can post videos of the readings done by other actresses who you are considering so we can judge and comment?
Also, comments from each possible actress of how they see the character of Dagney would be very helpful in making a determination.
I realize that these are unreasonable requests, but hey, I figured the only way it might happen would be for someone to ask.
The critics don't really want to see a superstar carry the Rand message in a successful movie. Go with Taylor!!!
