She is majestically inspiring, her abilities, her intelligence, and most of all, her attitude. Two big-toes up

I think I saw this when I was young. It left an impact on me that made me want to revisit it 25ish years later. Thanks for posting this. It’s quite beautiful

I saw this as a movie in my Catholic CCD class as a kid... over 35 years ago. I never forgot it. I was so amazed by her abilities and have always I could watch it again. So glad I found this!

I saw this great documentary in 1977 in my 9th grade social studies class ...I never forgot her. Now look up teenage ballerina Vitoria Bueno whose story is very similar-- she is currently a contestant on America's Got Talent💯✨️💞

Bonnie was a customer of mine years ago, first when I worked at Kroger’s grocery store and then after I changed jobs and became a bank teller. She was an amazing woman, had the most pleasant personality and could do absolutely anything. Bonnie was definitely an inspiration. 🤗

So thankful to have seen this video again ❤

My great-grandpa owned Barr Films

I had the privilege of meeting Bonnie in the 1970s when spoke to our students at Eastern Illinois University. She’s an amazing individual.

absolutely amazing. what a beautiful person & beautiful story. her son, Matt shared it with me & I feel privileged that he did🍃🌼

My 1st grade teacher showed this to our class on reel-to-reel back in 1980. It was good perspective to discover that people with disabilities don't want everybody to rush to their aid to help. I also love it when she said she liked to laugh at herself. As an able-bodied (though not always able-minded) person, I was once not able to laugh at myself, but instead was very hyper-critical of both myself and others. I once lived in a world of constant criticism, which engendered a good measure of self-hatred. Now, anytime I find myself bumbling around, making mistakes, screwing everything up, or simply just being me, I'm able to take a deep breath and laugh at myself, realizing that I'm simply human. Being able to laugh at yourself instead of taking life so seriously sure takes a huge load off your shoulders and as a result life comes much more simply. God bless Bonnie.

Me as well

I saw this as a kid back in the 70's. Might've been a rerun on 60 minutes. I was quiet for once and sat still.

I knew her and went to school with her son Mark. Both super nice people

Es admirable como se supero.😄😄😄👍👍💛

Thank u so much for posting this!

Que mujer tan inspiradora

I watched this in school in the early 90's. I come back now and then when I need some inspiration. Bonnie seemed like a lovely lady.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure I watched this in the early 80s. I couldn’t remember her name, but it was the part where she drove that stayed with me: just remembered it tonight and went digging!

Nació en Kentucky EU , se llama Bonnie Consolo

I remember seeing this when I was younger and being inspired by it. But - I couldn't remember the name of the film nor the woman! Thanks for taking me back down memory lane! :)

I remember watching this on projector in the first grade in 1988. I never forgot her name or ability to tie shoes with her toes.

Neat! I was inspired by her when I first saw this movie in 1980ish!! I’ve always wanted to re-watch it. So glad it popped up in my feed. What an amazing woman! Did you marry Mark or Matt?

Watched this in grade school

Idk if it was this woman, but I suddenly remembered watching a story in school about a woman who had no arms and drove with her feet. It absolutely has to have been this same woman I recall from my childhood. Such an amazing woman!

This was the film! I saw the same filmstrip around 1976 or 1977 in school. The first thing that caught my eye was this woman had no arms and was cutting fruit like it was nothing!

I came here for an assignment and ended up inspired.

A beautiful woman with a lovely smile. The ex-con won the relationship lottery with her.

I bet her feet are cleaner than your hands. [Edited to add:] And in fact: "When queried by [Mike] Wallace [from CBS's _60 Minutes_ ] about what she thought viewers would think of a woman handling food with her feet, Consolo quickly countered that she washed her feet more frequently than most people washed their own hands."
