Some cut-rate Valentino makes a meal of Bo in the profound and soulful masterpiece, Bolero (1984).
John Derek directed four films starring his wife, Bo. They have IMDb ratings of 3.4, 3.1, 3.0 and 2.2. To put that in context, the legendary Ed Wood directed twelve feature-length films, and eleven of them are rated higher than 3.4. John Derek is a legitimate contender in any debate about the worst director of all time. He was, however, a genius at seducing beautiful women. In addition to Bo Derek, he was married to Linda Evans and Ursula Andress.
Derek never won an Oscar, neither did Hitchcock.
