Bo Derek is an American film and television actress and producer, best known for being one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1970s and 1980s. She established her iconic image with films like 10, Tarzan, the Ape Man and Bolero. Born as Mary Cathleen Collins in California, USA, she became a wild child in high school and skipped classes to hitchhike to the beach.

At 16, she quit high school when she landed an offer to star in the film Fantasies directed by John Derek. Although John was 30 years her senior and married, they soon became romantically involved. The couple eventually married and Cathleen took on the name Bo Derek, undergoing a Hollywood makeover. Her first major role was in the film 10 which launched her status as an iconic sex symbol.

She went on to appear in films like Tarzan, the Ape Man, Bolero and Ghosts Can’t Do It, all directed by her husband, John. Though some of her films enjoyed box-office success, her performance was repetitively criticised. A few years after her husband’s death, she became involved with actor John Corbett. In 2017, she will be seen in the Indian American comedy, 5 Weddings.
