Joan Collins is undeniably a true icon, no matter how you measure size. As she celebrates her 90s, she realizes that her most glamorous and extravagant years are in the past. However, she continues to celebrate life and exude confidence in her own skin.
Many modern celebrities could take notes from Joan Collins on elegance, grace and self-expression. Her life story is simply remarkable and she remains an extraordinary woman. Born in Paddington, London, the actress is best known for her role as Alexis Carrington Colby in the hit soap opera Dynasty.
The show catapulted Joan to international fame, becoming the most-watched program in the United States in 1984. During that time, she earned $15,000 per episode and delighted some 21 million households each week as viewers tuned in to see her wild and cunning characters’ latest schemes.
“She was the first confident woman on television. I took a lot of heat for that. People said she was a ball-buster, so villainous, so ruthless! But I just stood up for myself as an independent woman!” Joan shared with CBS in 2019.
Notably, Collins is still active in the entertainment world, continuing her career nearly 70 years after her on-screen debut. According to Wikipedia, in 2022 she took part in two film projects, Tomorrow Morning and The Gentle Sex, while another film, In Bed with the Duchess, is currently in production.
She also has a strong presence on social media. Last month, as much of the United States faced a bitter cold snap and violent storms, Joan Collins brought her own warmth and flair to the scene.
Teacher secretly records coach touching girls hair and the mother speaks up after seeing the footage
Getting inside the classroom every day and trying to cope with all those students who have different personalities and learn using different strategies isn’t that easy. However, watching a shy student raising their hand and speaking in front of the whole class, or seeing a struggling student getting an ‘A’ makes you realize that it’s all worth it. It requires only special people to be teachers, because not everyone can rise to the task of shaping young minds into compassionate and responsible people who’d become a valuable part of the community.
The ideal teachers always go the extra mile just to make sure their students are doing their best to achieve the most they can. This help usually expands outside of the classroom too. And even if this effort may not be recognized by the parents, the school’s principal, or the community, that doesn’t really mater, because teachers know how great of an impact they make.
One physical education teacher from Valdosta, Georgia was giving his students a lesson in basketball when one of them, a girl named Kristin Paulk, approached and asked him whether he could do her a favor. The teacher said yes even before he knew what she would ask. The girl then said: “Can you tie my hair in a ponytail?” The teacher didn’t think twice before he knelt down and started doing her hair. Meanwhile, a fellow colleague named Kandice Anderson noticed the quite unusual sight and decided to put it on tape. She later posted the video on her Facebook page, writing:
“When your job goes beyond teaching… #CoachO #Love”
Kandice only wanted to show her friends what it really takes to be a teacher, and never did she think the video would be seen more than 3 million times. The phys ed teacher had no idea his kind act vent viral and he became famous. People found this way too adorable, and he was featured on Good Morning America.
“It was shocking to me that it got that much attention because we all do it.”
The teacher has three children on his own so he happens to know how to make a ponytail. He jokes how his expertise in hair styling stops there and if sweet Kristin wanted a more complex hairstyle she should have probably asked someone else to do it for her.
Kristin’s mother was also a guest at Good Morning America where she shared how she felt like after watching the video. She says she is more than happy knowing her girl has a teacher who cares so much.
We hope there are more teachers like this coach out there, who would do anything for their students’ well being.
This video is the sweetest thing you’ll see all day.
