Sizzling Swimsuit Moments in the History of the Film Industry

BO DEREK – 10, 1979

Many may not know actress-model Mary Cathleen Collins by her birth name but as Bo Derek, her professional name. She broke out with the romantic comedy “10” in 1979, playing the role of Jenny Hanley, where she wore this iconic chocolate one-piece bikini that definitely leaves people startled at first glance.

The former glamour queen and semi-retired actress starred in several films directed by her first husband, John Derek, including “Tarzan, the Ape Man” and “Ghosts Can’t Do It.” Apart from being a feminine symbol, Bo, who first got married at 19, spotted a cornrow lock style in the film that many people liked and copied.
