Bo Derek was born on November 20, 1956, Long Beach, California, USA. She is a Golden Globe-nominated American film actress and model. She was known as Cathleen or Cathy in this Irish/German/Dutch-California family.

In her first film, Orca (1977), 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.

She starred in Tarzan the Ape Man (1981), Bolero (1984) and Ghosts Can't Do It (1990). Bo Derek has since occasionally appeared in such films as the Italian Sognando La California (1991) and the American Woman of Desire (1994).

His appeared in Malibu's Most Wanted (2003) and television "7th Heaven" (2003-2005), "Fashion House" (2006).

She has been romantically linked by various tabloids to Paul McCartney, Kiefer Sutherland, and media billionaire Ted Turner. She is currently dating actor John Corbett.
