Bo Derek, born Mary Cathleen Collins (b. November 20, 1956), is an American film actress and model. She was born in Long Beach, California.
She co-starred in the 1979 Blake Edwards film 10, in which she vied with Julie Andrews for Dudley Moore's attention. Her subsequent films have not been well-received by either the public or critics. The 1981 film Tarzan, the Ape Man was a disappointment, and Bolero (1984) essentially ended any possibility of a substantial film career; those two titles earned her the dubious honor of four Golden Raspberry Awards, as well as a nomination in 2000 as the "Worst Actress of the Century".
She was married to actor John Derek from 1974 until his death in 1998. They met during filming of a movie, and subsequently, John filed for divorce from his wife, actress Linda Evans.
In September 1985, Bo Derek met with Apple Computer co-founder Steve Jobs, who tried to convert her into becoming a Mac user. Bo was a heavy-duty computer jockey at the time, though favoring the IBM PC persuasion, and she remained a PC user after the unimpressed meeting with Jobs.
