Bo Derek is average looking


Nothing special really. Maybe for American standard who knows

LOL. Yes, if the average woman looks like Angelina or Halle, she's average.

Bo was pretty, but Brooke Shields in the Blue Lagoon trumps Bo Derek off the water!

Bo looked nice. She had that natural 70's look going on. My Mom always commented that Bo had big/broad shoulders- which I never noticed. Someone asked what women were hotter. I'd have to say that Linda Carter (Wonder Woman) was gorgeous. She had a beautiful face, was very tall, thin but curvy with a great body.

I agree. I can't believe others have said that Bo Derek is average-looking. Average-looking compared to who?

In the late 70's, the American standard of beauty was different than it is now. I was a young child at that time and remember that most of the top models (Christie Brinkley, Cheryl Tiegs, Patti Hansen, Kelly Emberg, and others) were blonde, blue-eyed, and had delicate facial features. What most people (men, in particular) considered hot and beautiful at the time were blonde, blue-eyed, WASPy-looking, women with great bodies.

I think Bo perfectly embodied the desired look of the late 70's. It is apparent that that is the look Blake Edwards was looking for when casting George Webber's idea of the perfect 10 in this movie.

Didn't take 30 years. She had her face done and it ruined her. She went from a 10 to a 6 overnight.

She's actually quite stunning, but was noted more for being naked on screen with an ostensibly African-American female braid, which I always thought was odd.


Beauty is where you find it, dude.

I know Iceland has some beautiful women, but if you think this:

is an average looking woman, buddy, you really need to get your eyes checked.

No way, just look at her face!

Bo Derek was really much more beautiful than Farrah Fawcett, in a classical sense. But she had all the personality and pizzazz of a dingy, waterlogged mop, so after her initial impact, she just faded away. Basically, absolutely no one cared.

"10" ain't about her, it's about him.

Apparently, you don't know.
