British strong woman, Joan Rhodes, demonstrates her strength and prowess by bending and iron bar with her bare hands and teeth for three interested men during her night club act Dusseldorf, Germany, Nov. 5, 1952. In Dec. 1955, Joan lifted comedian Bob Hope to her shoulders when Hope was in Iceland entertaining U.S. forces stationed there. Hope slipped from her grasp, hit the floor head-first and sustained a cut nose and injured neck. The following day he appeared on a British television show from London, after visiting a London doctor.
