For all of his career, this mostly movie actor never got above B-list, although he co-starred in some A+ list movies. He raised eyebrows when his wives began to look the same and he went behind the camera in an attempt to make them bigger names. Especially the last one, who said she was underage when she first met and then married him. Although all of his wives knew (hell, they probably knew right away after he didn't sleep with them!), the public didn't know that he was gay. He got his first movie contract after having sex with his male agent, who “discovered” him after hiring him as an escort for a one-night stand. Towards the end of his life, he hired a male escort and contracted HIV, which his publicists quickly covered up and said he had lung cancer.

THeir ain't no way I whould marry no man that whould not be slamming me EVER nite with a big YKW! Specail if I look like Bo Dereck!!!!
ReplyDeleteI've always known that life makes no fucking sense, and that is only confirmed even further by the fact that a gay man got to marry Bo Derek, who, from 1978-1984 was the de facto hottest piece of ass on earth.
ReplyDeleteShe married him for a career not love. Now she's got love . And basically doesn't need career.
ReplyDeleteI was more jealous of him for marrying Linda and Ursula.
ReplyDeleteAh, the early 80's. I had frizzy red hair and freckles all over, so of course I wanted to be either Bo Derek or Heather Locklear. Or the Double Trouble twins.
ReplyDeleteIt was very kind of Bo to stand by him and nurse him until the very end. Whether the relationship was platonic or not, there was clearly deep love there.
ReplyDeleteErin C.- a little trivia about the Double Trouble twins- They're Katey Sagal's sisters.
ReplyDeleteCan someone please tell me what the hell YKW stands for? My mom will be clutching her pearls when she reads this reveal.
