“The Blind Side”: What The Film Got Right, And What Was Inaccurate

Mrs. Tuohy’s career

In The Blind Side, it doesn’t show what Leigh Anne Touhy does for work. It appears she has a lot of free time and is possibly a stay at home mom. She mentions once in the film that she worked for Patrick Ramsey, a famous football player. In reality, she is an interior designer and decorated Patrick Ramsey’s home many years ago.

Ole Miss

One of the biggest plot twists is when Michael has to decide where to go to college. He ends up choosing the University of Mississipi or “Ole Miss.” Leigh Anne went there herself as was depicted in the film. Sandra Bullock did not go to the University of Mississipi, but she did star as a devoted Ole Miss alumni in the film “A Time To Kill.”
