Overnight Sensation
Out of nowhere, Bo Derek became an overnight sensation. Everyone saw her as a sex symbol due to her roles. She found it all “a bit overwhelming,” but helped her launch a prolific film career. She got roles in Tarzan, the Ape Man, Tommy Boy, The Master of Disguise and many other movies. Yet, despite all her roles, many critics tore apart her performances.
Staying Humble
Despite being hailed as one of the most beautiful women, Bo Derek is very humble about it all. She said, “It’s about the way the bones line up…I was born with it.” I guess that’s one way to look at it! People can’t believe how well she’s aged. The star still has it even in her 60’s.
