The blonde beauty from the movie ’10’ is 67 years old now. This is her today
Bo Derek, born Mary Cathleen Collins on November 20, 1956, in Long Beach, California, grew up in a middle-class family with a strong connection to the entertainment industry through her parents. Her rise to fame began in her late teens when she started a relationship with actor and director John Derek, whom she married in 1976.
Bo’s breakthrough role came in the film 10 (1979), where her iconic beach scene established her as a sex symbol. Throughout the 1980s, she starred in several films, including Tarzan, the Ape Man (1981) and Bolero (1984), all directed by her husband, though many received poor reviews.
After her film career waned, Bo became an advocate for animal rights and served on the California Horse Racing Board. She published her autobiography, Riding Lessons, in 2002, sharing insights from her life.
Her marriage to John Derek lasted until his death in 1998, after which she found companionship with actor John Corbett. Together since 2002, they lead a private life. Bo Derek’s contributions to animal rights and charitable causes have further solidified her legacy beyond acting.
