Bo
Derek in Woman
of Desire, a
bad film even
by the
standards of
Bo Derek
movies. This
was the last
film in which
the sole point
of the project
was to show Bo
naked.
After her
blazing-hot
ascension to
stardom in 10,
her career
consisted
solely of
great nude
scenes in very
bad movies.
Here are the
movies she
made in the
prime of her
physical
condition,
ages 21-37.
(5.90) - 10
(1979)
(5.20) - A
Change of
Seasons (1980)
(5.10) - Orca
(1977)
(4.00) - Woman
of Desire
(1994)
(3.12) -
Tarzan, the
Ape Man (1981)
(2.99) -
Fantasies
(1981/I)
(2.62) -
Bolero (1984)
(1.95) -
Ghosts Can't
Do It (1989)
Now
that I look at
it, Woman of
Desire is the
4th best out
of those 8,
which is
scary!
She did make
one fairly
good comedy,
Tommy Boy, in
the next phase
of her career,
so the best
movie of her
career is
either that or
10. Not much
to show for
30+ years of
acting.
According to
IMDb, she's in
a 2012 movie
called
Highland Park,
an indie
starring
Parker Posey.
(I guess
that's
redundant. All
indie movies
star Parker
Posey.) That
would be her
first movie
role in eight
years. Old
guys, hold on
to your seats
for the next
sentence. Bo
Derek, our
fresh young
lust object,
the symbol of
the younger
women we could
no longer
attract, is
now 55 years
old.
Memento mori.

Jean Simmons
in Spartacus.
Someday I
would love for
somebody to
come up with
the original
footage from
this scene,
before the
branches were
clumsily drawn
in to follow
her chest
whichever way
she turned.
