Bo Derek, born Mary Collins in 1956, rose to fame with her iconic role in the 1979 film “10” and became a symbol of beauty and glamour.
Growing up in Southern California, her beach-filled childhood and adventurous spirit led her to a serendipitous meeting with director John Derek, who cast her in his film “Fantasies.”
After John’s death in 1998, Bo experienced profound loss but eventually found love again with actor John Corbett, whom she married after nearly 20 years together. Now 67, Bo lives a fulfilling life on a California ranch, deeply involved in advocacy against horse slaughter and wildlife trafficking, and has authored an autobiography.
Her journey reflects resilience and transformation, balancing past regrets with a commitment to making a positive impact.
