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?

Taylor and Grant ... PLEASE!!!
She exudes Dagney...she is a natural to Dagney as Clark Gable was to Rhett Butler.
If you are making this to change minds, get someone who believes in the principals of Ayn and can act.
If it is between Taylor and Samanta, go with Taylor.
Mary Katharine Ham!!!!!!
Any of the lovely ladies of Fox News!!!!
Michelle Malkin
Lacey Chabert
Patricia Heaton
Sarah Michelle Gellar
See if you can add Charles Payne as one of the financial folks in the John Galt camp!!!
For that matter, I think Michael Moore fits Wesley Mouch! He would probably think Mouch's script sounded perfectly reasonable! (There are any number of lefty talking heads who might take the other antagonist roles without realizing the irony - They should pronounce it "MOOCH") Bwaaahaaa)
I would like to see Taylor in Part 3. And, I really like the first Reardon better too!
A modern actress cast from this classic mold would be Kate Beckinsale.
I was shocked to see part 2 cast was different.
were super. Anticipating part 3.....
I believe I read somewhere that Angelina Jolie was once cast as Dagny, but that ship has sailed. Someone like her would be good.
Dagney.
