It was actually her husband’s suggestion that Bo should have braids in the film, even though he was not the director of the film.
”It was the tail end of the 1970s and everything was fluffy, and I’m blond, and … What are you going to do to look different? John had always thought that that would be a good look for me, just for photography—he’s a great photographer. And we tried it. And he said, ‘Why don’t you take these pictures into Blake and see if he’ll go for it. It would be really good for the part, so you don’t look ordinary,’” she told Interview Magazine.
After the success of ‘10‘, Bo Derek appeared in several of her husband’s films, including Tarzan, The Ape Man (1981), Bolero (1984) and Ghosts Can’t Do It (1990), all of which were met by negative reviews. After that, Bo appeared in several television series including 7th Heaven, Lucky, and Queen of Swords.
