Bo Derek, born Mary Collins in 1956, emerged as a bombshell of the 1970s and 80s. Discovered by director John Derek at 16, she quickly rose to fame but faced criticism for her relationship with John, who was married to Linda Evans. Despite controversies, Bo’s career soared with films like “10” and features in Playboy. However, she struggled with typecasting and inconsistent roles. After John’s passing in 1998, Bo took on sporadic acting gigs and became an advocate against horse slaughter. Now at 62, she leads a fulfilling life out of the spotlight, still active in charity work and in a loving relationship with John Corbett.
