Bo Derek was one of the great Sex Symbols in Hollywood during the early 1980′s. Though she had done a few other acting roles previously, it was the 1979 Dudley Moore comedy “10” that really introduced moviegoers to this sexy newcomer.
Unfortunately, as far as her acting career was concerned, the role in “10” did not launch her into super-stardom as she released a string of critical and commercial flops such as “Tarzan the Ape Man”, “Bolero” and “Ghosts can’t do it”. Her next mainstream hit was the 1995 David Spade/Chris Farley comedy “Tommy Boy” in which she had a minor role. In the 1980′s she appeared in PLAYBOY magazine numerous times, often photographed by her filmmaker husband John Derek.
Now, at the age of 53, she still looks as great as ever and can still be seen in the occasional new movie or as a guest on various TV series. She also volunteers her time to various conservative political activist causes, animal rights causes, and various projects supporting wounded veterans.
We love you Bo….
