Leigh Anne graduated from the University of Mississippi with a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design. Together, Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy were raising two children, Collins, and Sean Jr., when they added a new member to their family in 2004 by legally adopting the teenage foster child they had already taken in and considered family.

From the snap of the ball to the snap of the first bone is closer to four seconds than five. TV commentary One Mississippi. Joe Theismann, the Redskins quarterback takes the snap and hands off to his running back. TV commentary Two Mississippi. It's a trick play, a flea flicker, and the running back tosses the ball Page 1 back to the quarterback. TV commentary Three Mississippi. Up to now the play's been defined by the what the quarterback sees. It's about to be defined by what he doesn't. Four Mississippi.

While studying at the University of Mississippi, better known as Ole Miss, Leigh Anne met Sean Tuohy, her husband of 33 years. Both were active and ambitious college students: Leigh Anne was a cheerleader, campus favorite, homecoming maid and an active member of her sorority, Kappa Delta; Sean became a record-breaking SEC basketball champion and still holds several SEC assist records. They are the proud parents of daughter Collins (28) and sons Sean, Jr. (21), and Michael Oher (28).

She shares her personal “Blind Side” observations, from seeing Michael Oher for the first time to how the experience changed her as a person—and the Tuohys as a family. “He had a much greater impact on our lives than we did on his life,” says Leigh Anne.

  • Friday Night Lights”) and Oscar® Winner Kathy Bates (“Misery”) Star in Alcon Entertainment and Warner Bros
    Sandra Bullock (“The Proposal”), Tim McGraw (“Friday Night Lights”) and Oscar® winner Kathy Bates (“Misery”) star in Alcon Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures’ “The Blind Side,” which depicts the remarkable true story of All-American football star Michael Oher. Teenager Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron) is surviving on his own, virtually homeless, when he is spotted on the street by Leigh Anne Tuohy (Sandra Bullock). Learning that the young man is one of her daughter’s classmates, Leigh Anne insists that Michael—wearing shorts and a t-shirt in the dead of winter—come out of the cold. Without a moment’s hesitation, she invites him to stay at the Tuohy home for the night. What starts out as a gesture of kindness turns into something more as Michael becomes part of the Tuohy family despite the differences in their backgrounds. Living in his new environment, the teen faces a completely different set of challenges to overcome. And as the family helps Michael fulfill his potential, both on and off the football field, Michael’s presence in the Tuohys’ lives leads them to some insightful self-discoveries of their own. “The Blind Side” is directed by John Lee Hancock (“The Rookie”), who also wrote the screenplay based on the book The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game by Michael Lewis. Gil Netter, Andrew A. Kosove and Broderick Johnson produced the film with Molly Smith, Erwin Stoff and Timothy M. Bourne serving as executive producers. Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw star as Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy, and Kathy Bates stars as Michael Oher’s dedicated tutor, Miss Sue.

  • It's Good to Be Michael Lewis
    It’s Good to Be Michael Lewis 10/17/11 11:32 AM It’s Good to Be Michael Lewis He could have made a fortune in business. Instead, he made a fortune writing about it. Plus—a fortune for everyone he writes about. By Jessica Pressler Published Oct 2, 2011 (Photo: Jake Chessum) Collins Tuohy has told this story before, and by now her delivery is spot on. It was Thanksgiving morning, and her family were on their way to pick up breakfast. “Because in our household,” she says in her Memphis drawl, and pauses for emphasis. “My mother thinks that if we go and get food.” Dramatic pause. “And bring it back to our house.” Another pause. “Then it counts as home cooking.” The audience laughs as Collins, a twentysomething Kappa Delta in a leopard-print dress and heels that bring her a good four inches closer to God, shakes her head affectionately at her parents, Leigh Anne and Sean, who are sitting next to her onstage at the Aria Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. Then her story turns serious. As they were driving, they spotted a boy from Collins’s school walking down the street, unseasonably clad in shorts and a T-shirt. Leigh Anne asked her husband to pull over. You probably know the rest. So did the thousand or so salespeople that diamond manufacturer Hearts on Fire had invited to hear the Tuohys speak during its annual seminar. At this point, practically everyone with eyes has seen the movie The Blind Side, which tells the story of how the Tuohys adopted that boy, Michael Oher, and transformed him, by the grace of Jesus and with the help of cash from Sean’s fast-food franchises, from almost-certain lost cause to millionaire NFL star.

  • Chapter I Introduction
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study A hero has motivation to do or play something better and prove it to other people that he can do the thing in a high level. A hero is person that is amazed because of his achievement and quality. A hero is also a pawn that has a soul in line to protect and manage the community. Now, viewers consider that the development of hero is difficult to grow again. This problem is as the indicator of a hero. There are many ways to determine who hero is or who will be a hero. Sometimes an individual who has more authority can be called a hero, but actually a true hero is an individual who really has great dedication. Everyone has problems in his life. The problems make people aware of what they have done. People have their own views in facing the problems in their lives. Those problems make them full of struggle in their lives so that they will look for the final goal to get success.
