O'Connor belatedly discovered a talent for painting; some of his works appear on the covers of wife Ayn Rand's books.

Met Ayn Rand on a Hollywood movie set; she made sure he'd remember her by tripping him during the shoot. The incident gave them a reason to start talking, and they began dating soon afterward.

Is portrayed by Peter Fonda in The Passion of Ayn Rand (1999).
