We need a Roots for my generation.

Angelina Jolie is cast as the main character, Dagny Taggert.<BR/><BR/>The first project was in the 1970's as a NBC mini-series. Supposedly, Ayn Rand wanted Farrah Fawcett cast as Dagny Taggert.Tony Arnoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497055762329338990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11379368.post-89269353429261534832008-01-28T10:28:00.000-05:002008-01-28T10:28:00.000-05:00Yeah, well, its supposed to have been being made f...Yeah, well, its supposed to have been being made for like 4 years now, but I haven't checked on it in a while.
