Bo Derek's Bio:
Born Mary Cathleen Collins, to a California family of Irish/German/Dutch descent, the beautiful teenager got her first modeling job at 15.
With years of experience being photographed for her advertising agent father, the young girl modeled for catalogues, won the Miss Teen California pageant, and began auditioning for acting jobs, the first being a TV commercial advertising a deodorant. It was also her first speaking part, all of three words.
At 16 Collins was introduced to actor, director and cinematographer John Derek, with whom she became both professionally and romantically involved.
Derek abandoned his wife and headed to Germany with his young love, who was still only a minor. The couple remained fugitives, until lawyers negotiated their return to the United States, where they were married when she turned 18.

The loss was traumatic for Derek, but she has since penned an autobiography titled 'Riding Lessons: Everything That Matters in Life I Learned From Horses', which was published in 2002.
Since John's death, she has been romantically linked with a number of celebrities and is currently dating actor John Corbett.
A dedicated Conservative, Bo supported George H.W. Bush and campaigned for George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004. In 2006 she was appointed to the Board of Trustees of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts by President George W. Bush, serving on the Operations Committee. …
