The Blonde Bikini Bombshell: Whatever happened to Bo Derek?

How many of you remember Bo Derek? For me, she’s always been a favorite, and when I found out what she’s been up to during recent years, I was even more impressed by this goddess.

I remember the first time I saw Bo Derek in her movie Breakthrough in 1979 – it was impossible not to notice the gorgeous young blonde woman with clear blue eyes in the movie ‘10‘.
Bo Derek was born Mary Cathleen Collins and grew up in California. She got a foothold in Hollywood early on, her mother worked for the Swedish-American actress Ann-Margeret.

Thanks to her mother’s contacts, Bo got herself an agent at age 16 – something that would give her her first film role in the movie Once Upon a Love.
