Cause they are just jokes to make people laugh. If Bo was that upset with Joan, she would have told her to stop the jokes because Joan respected others if they wanted her to stop, she asked Elizabeth Taylor if the fat jokes bothered her and Elizabeth responded: "Tell Joan, it doesn't bother me where I live." Joan was a comedian and you've got to remember that she was 100x more harsh on herself than anyone else.

In the interviews with Johnny Carson- 1979 and 1981, Bo explained that she wanted to get into movies and John didn't want her to. She's right- the movie "10" happened without having anything to do with John. He did tell her she had no discipline and then taught her discipline and she went on to other movies. Once "10" was a hit, he then guided her career. People have to realize, John is from old Hollywood. He knew what could happen to someone like her if he wasn't involved to protect her. I don't see anything wrong with that. They both benefited from each other.

Watch other interviews. On Johnny Carson she said that her husband and her would have "bad days" if she didn't look good enough to him. And that he insisted on keeping her weight under 100. It matters because older men who prey on younger women tend to have poor character, as John did.

So many comments here depreciating Joan... WRONG. Joan is first and foremost a comedian. She jokes about people who she thinks (and can) take it. She explained herself perfectly when she said she wouldn't make a joke about a down-and-out person. And from all I've seen, she never has. It seemed to me from this interview that both women were alright with each other, neither was trying to put the other down, yet people read to much into it and want to play sides because they like drama. I don't know much about Bo Derrick but she seemed semi-intelligent during this interview. Joan explained why she jokes about Bo in an intelligent (and as I see it, justified,) way. What the fuck is the problem and why are so many people attacking one or the other? They seem to get along just fine.

And seemingly nobody got why Bo Derek had a roll of tape, even after she alluded to it, which proves either 1) you didn't watch the whole interview, or 2) you're the dummy, not Bo, and the only humour you "get" is of the Rivers bully-girl variety.

"The first picture that people saw was "10", and he (John Derek) had nothing to do with that." Not true: again, Bo Derek denies the existence of "Orca" (1977), which came WAY before "10". And regardless of whether it was released, the first film that Bo Derek made was "Fantasies", directed by John Derek. So yes, John Derek put Little Bo Peep into the movies. It matters not if the film wasn't released for several years. It was the first film in which Bo Derek appeared. It wasn't through lack of trying to get it released that the film sat on the shelf for several years. Only the success of "10" got "Fantasies" subsequently released.

Bo Derek (nacida Mary Cathleen Collins; Long Beach, California, 20 de noviembre de 1956) es una actriz de cine y exmodelo estadounidense. Su actividad en el cine ha tenido desigual fortuna: fue nominada a un Globo de Oro en 1979 por 10, la mujer perfecta, pero por otros filmes más fallidos ha sido «premiada» como mala actriz con tres premios Golden Raspberry (los anti-Óscar, también llamados Razzies).

"Bo| was right.....Joan did used to pick-on guests....but "Bo" (Mary) didn't have to bring it up. The interview was going well. Joan was trying to remain professional ...justifying her appracoh. ..."style". Perhaps some interpret Joan's brand of humour as "picking on"...i did. Back in the day. Maybe i didn't understand her humour? Some interviewers however DO pick-on stars to get ratings. Was common in the 80's/90's...Matt Lerher's interview with Tom Cruise....A Toronto talk show host with Mike Tyson--(YIKES)...yes the host lived heh).. Bo seems too odd--she CAN sound intelligent sometimes then not. then fall off the edge...provoking Jooan here.... The stories of her background varies...most say she left for Germany at 16..which means they had to have met BEFORE she was 16. Other stories said her mother dd nothing to stop her...father never mentioned. I think then as it is now the "legal age is 16"....though i don't know the age where parents can no longer keep their kids from leaving the country...maybe it is 18? If her parents really wanted to stop her they could have...heh...John wa a predator. Bo was brainwashed....
