Blind Items Revealed

April 18, 2014

This aging, but still stunning former A lister who was really a one hit movie wonder despite the best efforts of studios to make her a huge movie star has been trying to buy the two original porn films she starred in before she hit it big in Hollywood. She and her B list mostly television actor boyfriend have bought all her other films.

Bo Derek/John Corbett

  2. she should let them be released then maybe she'll get some press.

  3. NOW she wants to buy them?? That is a bid odd that she didn't buy them at the height of her fame or had John her husband buy them.

    Another proselytizing, tea-bagging homophobe turns out to be a hypocrite. I'm shocked!

  5. They seemed like an unlikely couple, but they've stood the test of time.

  6. But @Montana, at the height of her fame there was no internet, no risk of the movies being in every HD around. The blind doesn't say she only wanted to buy them now, and since it states that they already bought others, my guess this is something that has been going on for some time. Who knows in which conditions she did those movies? Maybe she was forced, was drugged out of her mind and she just want to erase all that once for all.

  7. If she made porn movies they are available through some distribution company. She would be searching for a needle in a haystack basically.

  8. Seriously??? Who cares at this point? It will make her a star, just ask KK. Bo is a lot older now, and should welcome the attention. I would. Maybe I'll do a porn movie and won't release it until I'm 70.

  9. @Sandy: I depends on what company she shot for. When the big 70s/80s companies went belly up, someone bought their archive. There are people very much into "Golden Age"/vintage porn who could probably rattle off the progression of companies changing hands.

    Problem is, once contacted, the company owning the rights knows they have a bunch of profit sitting in their hands that they probably paid next to nothing for.

  10. Personally I doubt it. She started dating John Derek when she was 16. So any film would have been shot during that relationship. I doubt he would let her be with other men.

  11. Corbett is a crazy but fun nutcase. Doesn't believe in banks. Gets paid tons thru acting and tons of voice over work. Not uncommon for him to have 75K to 150K with him in a grocery bag.

  12. I'm wondering if she thought they were all gone & forgotten, then someone contacted her & Jon, "to sell her back a copy".

  13. I don't know what it is about him, but I REALLY LIKE JOHN CORBETT. I loved his role on Northern Exposure and all of those characters on that show. And I rarely like fictional tv series.

  14. And Applebee's money

  15. I have that movie. It's called Corn Rows and Corn Holes. Never knew that was her.

  16. In the name of GOD, somebody leak these bad boys on the Internet!

  17. I thought she was really young when she married John Derek? Like REALLY young? I suppose it's possible there's something out there, but wouldn't her husband have bought them out once he married her?

    ReplyDelete
  18. I loved United States of Tara, & he was very good in it, but his character was totally unbelievable. No one is that patient!!!

  19. @D Brown - I thought the same thing. I don't think there was time pre-John Derek. B.S. blind.

    I LOVE CHRIS-IN-THE-MORNING!

  20. Why would she think anyone cares at this point? It's not like she has a movie career to protect. I'm not getting this blind. And, yes,she was 16 when she had an affair with the married and very old John Derek and broke Linda Evans heart.

  21. I would like to see any porno that she starred in when she was younger.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I believe it wouldn't matter if Bo was 16 or younger when the porno was shot. The Federal kiddie porn laws grandfathered content shot before the date it was passed, which is why you can still purchase and watch the movie Brooke Sheilds played the 12 y/o whore w/ the full frontal scene and see her 10y/o nudes.

    Don't take this as set in stone, it is just my recollection.

    1. Brooke Shields was never nude in the movie, Pretty Baby. Her older half-sister was her body double for those scenes.

    2. Clark-brooke is an only child, no halfs or wholes.

  23. It wouldn't surprise me if John Derek was the one who got her started in porn.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Is John Corbett really only B list for TV? He has been in some huge shows - Northern Exposure and Sex in the City (Carrie should have totally married him, Big was such an asshole). United States of Tara won Emmy and Golden Globe.

    He's in the new Denis Leary show Sex&Drugs&RockandRoll - can't wait for that - they're two of my favorite

  25. I don't know when Bo Derek would have done these supposed porn films since she was discovered by John Derek at age 16 and pretty much never left his side until he died when she was about 42. John Derek wouldn't have put her in porn although he did put her in a lot of bad movies and had her do a lot of nude scenes.

  26. I've been a Bo Derek fan forever. I'm not buying this blind. Bo was around 16 when she and Jon Derek got together (while he was married to Linda Evans). They stayed in Europe until she was 18 so he wouldn't get arrested. He was so controlling over her and her career, I find it very hard to believe he would have allowed her to do porn. He was the only one allowed to shoot her Playboy photos and he was the one who produced her films. I do remember there was one film, "Bolero" which was almost X rated, but she and John produced that themselves.

  27. I'm wondering if this is a twisted version of her buying up copies of "Love You," the 1979 porno film John Derek directed and Bo was on set as a "consultant."

    ReplyDelete
  28. She was stunning. And porn wasn't as hardcore then. If it were me, much older and fighting gravity, I'd release them as a box set. Memorabilia.

  29. John Corbett's new commercial: On the Corner of Happy & Horny.

  30. @auntliddy then maybe you should correct her wikipedia page which states she has 2 stepbrothers and 3 half-sisters.

  31. But all her half-sisters were probably too young to be her body double in Blue Lagoon, since the oldest one is about 5 years younger than Brooke:

    Kneepads article on Brooke Shields' 2001 wedding mentions her three half-sisters Marina, Cristiana and Olympia"

  32. @Clark St: You ever see Pretty Baby? It was most definitely her. I'm not posting naked 12y/o pics here, no matter how long ago they were taken. Google: Brooke Shields Pretty Baby Nude Scene, hit enter, and when the results show up, click images.

  33. Here's an interesting question for you. Bo Derek is linked to Lisa Rinna through four degrees of personal separation. Name them.

    ReplyDelete
  34. @Prunella - I'm thinking Bo --> John Derek --> Ursula Andress --> Harry Hamlin --> Lisa. Is that right?
