    Initially Leigh Anne comes across as a feisty mother with a strict agenda, but just as Michael goes through a complete renovation, so does she. This story paints Bullock’s Leigh Anne Tuohy as a tough-as-nails Southern belle who acts as Oher’s left tackle in life, shielding him from the racist whisperings of the country-club set and a dim high-school coach who doesn’t know how to communicate with him. By the end of the film Leigh Anne maintains the stick-to-itiveness she utilizes to change Michael’s life and keep her own family together, but sheds her tough exterior and absorbs what their journey has revealed to her about herself. This is what makes the story unique. It’s not just about a rich woman being charitable to a poor boy or the rise of an unlikely athlete; it’s about the transformation of a family. She subtly but forcefully drives The Blind Side and infuses it with a depth and charm, making it a truly inspiring…

That resourcefulness is what makes her someone I not only admire, but someone who inspires me. And that is influence.” (Time.com) This is what makes her such an iconic and influential person, because she creates what roles she wants to play.
