Joan Rhodes
Joan Rhodes (13 April 1921〔Some sources cite 1920, not 1921 as Rhodes's year of birth, including (IMDb )〕 – 30 May 2010) was a London-born British performer, wrestler, stuntwoman and strongwoman. Born into poverty in London, she and her siblings were deserted by their parents. Following unhappy spells in the workhouse and with an aunt, she left home at 14.〔(Obituary at thestage.co.uk )〕 After sleeping rough in Brewer Street, Soho, she joined a travelling fair, where she got the idea for her act after seeing a professional strong man at work. ==With Bob Hope== She began as a variety and cabaret performer during the 1950s and '60s. Her popularity increased due to her early appearances on television shows in the US and UK, including ''The Toast Of The Town'' (1955) and the ''Bob Hope Christmas Show''. It was in the latter that, on stage in Iceland on 27 December 1955, that Rhodes lifted, then accidentally dropped, Hope, while entertaining troops for the USO.
