When The Tuohy Family Met Michael Oher
In the movie, the Tuohy family finds Michael Oher to be a storm-battered young man left out in the pouring rain. The writers had us believe that this was the way the relationship began and that they immediately had Oher move in with them to start a new life. Things were a little different in real life, however, and while they did encounter him at the side of the road, the Tuohy family did not take him in right away. It took them some time and Leigh Anne Tuohy first visited him at his new school the following day. After this, they went shopping for new clothes he could wear. As you can see, the transition between them happened more gradually, more naturally, not quite at such a Hollywood pace.
What Leigh Anne Does For A Living
In reality, Leigh Anne Tuohy was an interior designer. Perhaps you might even have noticed the way Leigh Anne talked about Patrick Ramsey if you were paying particular attention. If you were wondering how these two bits of information are connected, we would like you to know that Leigh Anne Tuohy actually worked for the Washington Redskins quarterback! It was not stated outright in the movie, though it was not entirely without purpose. Many people consider it to be an Easter egg that only the most devout football fans could catch. By devout, we mean people who are committed enough to update themselves updated on the home improvement strategies of the players!
