💝🎂💐 Happy Birthday Bo Derek! 💐🎂💝
Doesn't time fly? It's hard to take in that Bo turns 63 this very day! When I first saw '10', I had no idea how much of a treat I'd be in for. It's about a man's 'mid-life crisis', played by Dudley Moore, who falls madly in love with young Bo Derek. He has a lovely wife, Julie Andrews, at home, and the scene wherein she looks through his huge telescope to see what her husband has been gawping at is SO FUNNY!
I can believe 5ft3.75 for Bo's night height!

I like it that she once claimed that "At 5 feet 3 and 3/4 ("Every quarter-inch counts")"!

I am in no doubt that she pulls off 5'3.75" and it's great that she is incredibly honest too!

She does give the impression of being taller, and also having long legs for her height. But on closer inspection she is not even particularly leggy relative to her height.

Bo certainly looked taller dancing with 5ft2.5 Dudley Moore in '10'! I thought she was 5ft4, according to the sources I've had my mitts on!
Mind you, some people do round up and she might have had two different height measurements at differing times of the day, and a quarter of an inch is well possible as we all know by now!
I'm going for the 5ft4 I always thought she was because of the dancing scene with Dudley in '10'!

Very beautifull women with expressive and beautiful eyes, no matter of her height.

She was absolutely gorgeous in 10. literally an 11 out of 10. Too bad she couldn't act. LOL in nearly every subsequent role she got a Golden Raspberry award for worst actress. One of those who amazingly had a high profile career with only one successful film.

Not too bad looking,but just like with Crazy Elephant and The DeFranco Family,she ended up one of those "one hit" wonders. Yet 5'3" Derek is pretty,in pants or gowns. And "10" she was nice in. She's okay,and I'm comfortable with her 5'3" height.

Having slim flat hips/bum helps, makes average height women look taller, eg, Miley Cyrus, Tina Turner

Wow. Five foot three and a bit? Really? She's proportioned like somebody taller. Bo Derek is a miniature tall woman.

I saw her in person during the taping of a cooking show a few years back and she is really small. I'd say around 5'3 is correct as is stated on many websites. Also why do/did her measurements keep changing Measurements: 32-22-32 (at age 16 as Mary Collins), 35-23 1/2-35 1/2 (while filming "10"), 37C-22-34 (in 1983), 38-22-36 (as reported in 1985), (Source:Celebrity Sleuth magazine) I can understand at 16 when she got together with John Derek, she was still growing but how about during the filming of 10 and then in 1983 and 2 years later in 1985 they change again? If she put on weight, would waist still be 22 inches?I guess they ALL lie.

Bo Derek is really petite, about 5'2 or 3. The Big Screen disguises height well. She really looked thin when I met her about ten years ago.

sf is right of course. Also, Bo had a very long torso but short legs. Since she is so slender to begin with, nobody would really notice but her legs are pretty short compared to her body length. If she's sitting she might be taller than you think but when she stands up she'll probably shock you that she's shorter than she looked sitting.

Wayne, what footwear did she have on? Perhaps big heels? There's no way she's really that tall otherwise she wouldn't have been quoted claiming the height Rob posted.
Most women her height have shortened "dumpy" torsos kinda like hobbits. She's obviously an exception..she must have been light as hell in her heydays, like under 100 lbs!

You can't judge anybody's height on how tall they look when they are sitting!!
People have different proportions - some have larger torsos, some have higher waists, etc. etc.......My friend, a girl, has the same inseam as me, yet I'm 6 inches taller.

I saw Bo today at PDX waiting for her flight to LAX. she was sitting reading a novel, she has to be at lest 5'7" I'm 5'9" and I've sat in those seats and her shoulders were at a height that puts her at 5'7"

Editor Rob I can believe her looking taller, but think this was the height she was giving back in her heyday.

Wow, I seriously thought she was like 5'10"! She had a really long slender torso, and had supermodel-like proportions like Claudia Schiffer or Christy Turlington who are legit 5'10"/11" 'ers...

Bo Derek is like Paula Abdul or Christina or Shania etc.. You see them and go "what is this?, I expect much taller". It is all in the camera angles and the press is usually touchy about height because most are short themselves and don't like mentioning it. I would have bet anything Bo was 5' 9" from movies etc.

Susan, could you seen her at night, lowest point of the day for a person's height? We're all an inch taller in the morning, as you might know.
Supes, I've always thought she had short legs actually, she does have a really long slender torso though. Check out this photo of her on a poster for "10":

Wow. I would have bet serious money she was atleast 5'7"! She seems to have really long legs and arms though. It's weird that she was chosen to play in the film 10 since she's well below average height and that would be a deterrent for being rated a perfect "10" in most people's eyes.

She lives on horses. She wears big heel horse riding boots. Madonna swears by them. They add 4" with ease.

I think her shorter height was one of the reasons she was cast in "10" next to Dudely Moore.

Really?!? I always pictured her as being TALL--5-8 or so. Dang. Talk about proportional and good framing.
