BO DEREK

Picture of Bo Derek

Bo Derek (real name Mary Cathleen Collins) is an American actress and glamour model. She was born in 1956 at Long Beach, California. Bo Derek became famous after appearing as the sultry, sexy Jenny Hanley in the 1979 comedy 10. Bo Derek is less renowned for her acting ability - she was awarded the title worse actress for her role in the 1981 film Tarzan the Ape Man - than for her willingness to undress for the camera. This willingness to undress (including being photographed for Playboy magazine) led to her being a favourite pin-up of the 1980's.
