I should note that someone came here and posted a series of falsehoods about the night at the opening of Atlas Shrugged. It was an evening I organized with the Brandens and we had dinner first and then the film. Nathaniel enjoyed the evening and was happy to have photos taken. The vicious description given by this individual was totally inaccurate and I told him so. He then got extremely nasty and rude and then deleted his messages so others couldn’t see what he actually wrote. He had a tirade about the evil John Aglialoro for using Nathaniel at the premier. John had nothing to do with that evening. I bought the tickets and it was a small group of mutual friends of mine and Nathaniel’s that were thing including Barbara Branden and Nathaniel’s wife Leigh.

This “Sean Danconia” was not truthful and didn’t have the knowledge of the planning of that evening, but still drew his own fanciful conclusions. I watched Nathaniel the whole time to make sure no one created a problem for him and stayed with him and Leigh—or a few feet away—from the time we had dinner till they left the theater to go home. Mr. “Danconia” should not confuse his fiction with facts.
