From teenaged beach bum to international sex symbol, this is the story of one Hollywood actress that managed to get by almost solely on her looks alone. Bo Derek was born Mary Collins on the 20th of November, 1958. While she would one day become one of the biggest stars of her day, when she was a teen, Derek wasn't exactly driven. In fact, the future poster girl seemed perfectly content with doing next to nothing when she was 16.
This was in California back in the early 70s, and like every stereotypical blonde beach bunny that came before her, Derek preferred to spend her days out at the beach, working on her tan with her friends, rather than attending school.
To call her a slacker would be a bit of an understatement, although you could always argue that she was merely doing research. After all, her breakthrough film role, the romantic comedy 10, which hit theaters in 1979, saw her donning a swimsuit and seducing the film's lead, Dudley Moore. It was a combination of her appearance in this otherwise forgettable flick in addition to her image being used on its iconic poster that made her a household name.
