Bo Derek then
Bo Derek was a struggling actress until In 1979 when she was cat for Blake Edward’s film 10 . The romantic comedy was a critical hit during the late seventies and early eighties and was considered a trendsetter. This put Derek on the map as Hollywood’s mainstream pin-up girl. It’s not the ideal image for some women, but Derek was happy to have finally landed her breakthrough role in the industry.
Her cornrows and bleached-blonde hair she featured in the movie became her signature look. It seems as if her personal life were as scandalous as her on-screen roles; at the age of 16, Derek had an affair with director John Derek, who was thirty years her senior. Derek left his wife for her, and the two married in 1976, when she was 19 years old.
