She really is (or was) spectacular looking.

Big things were expected of Bo Derek. After a minor role in Orca: The Killer Whale, she got her big break in Ten, which propelled both her and Dudley Moore to stardom. She was even unironically compared to Marilyn Monroe. However, her follow-up movie, 1980's A Change in Seasons, got unfavorable reviews and disappointed at the box office. The 1981 movie Tarzan, the Ape Man, while doing better financially, was mutilated by critics and earned her a Worst Actress Razzie (shared with Faye Dunaway for Mommie Dearest). She didn't get another film offer until 1984's Bolero, which bombed at the box office and earned her another Razzie. She took a five-year hiatus, and her intended comeback film, Ghosts Can't Do It, only put her career even further in the ground. She spend the next few years making TV films, not returning to the big screen until Woman of Desire came out to very little fanfare. After that, her most prominent role was in the 2006 telenovela Fashion House. By this point, it's safe to say that her career is toast, with some even going so far as to ask how she even got so big in the first place.
