An aspiring model, 16-year-old Bo Derek was introduced to actor/director/cinematographer John Derek in 1971. Just as he’d done with previous "protegTs" Ursula Andress and Linda Evans, Derek literally molded her into a highly desirable superstar. In 1974, the 48-year-old Derek capped his makeover by marrying the 18-year-old Bo. In her first film, the Jaws rip-off Orca, Bo showed up long enough to have her lovely leg chewed off by a killer whale. Her next film was far more rewarding: Blake Edwards’ 10 (1979), in which, bouncing along the beach in slow motion to the pulsating rhythms of Ravel’s Bolero, the scantily clad, cornrow-coifed Bo became the instant object of star Dudley Moore’s affections.
