Bo Derek, the iconic blonde beauty, first charmed audiences as a teenager in the movies. Her acting journey started at 16 due to her mother’s connection with actress Ann-Margret. She met her future husband, John Derek, on set, leading to fame with “10.”
Despite their significant age gap, John left his wife for Bo when she was just 17. They made it work, even though it was challenging. Bo, now 66, still feels remorseful for their past actions.
Bo’s signature cornrow-style braids, suggested by John, became her iconic look. They married in 1976. She starred in films like “Tarzan, The Ape Man,” “Bolero,” and “Ghosts Can’t Do It” in the ’80s, all directed by John.
Bo eventually fell in love with actor John Corbett, and they married in 2020. They cherished their relationship, filled with laughter and affection.
Bo’s life revolves around her passion for horses. She wrote “Riding Lessons: Everything That Matters in Life I Learned from Horses” and advocates for animal welfare, especially against horse slaughter.
