Lot Essay

As the star of the 1979 Blake Edwards hit "10", Bo Derek, burst onto the scene and quickly became a household name. This cover and pictorial, which includes Bo with her famous corn rows, produced one of the most popular issues of Playboy ever and is today readily identified as an icon of the 1980s. She was photographed by her husband John Derek who had previously made pictorials for the magazine of his former wives Ursula Andress and Linda Evans.
