She was such a terrible TERRIBLE actress that I wouldn't support her nomination for anything -- anyone with average intelligence and money for training, even if they have no particular thespian talent, can learn to act well enough to not be embarrassing, if the script doesn't require anything out of the ordinary.

Bo Derek doesn't even come close, she is an excruciatingly bad actress, in movies where her character was never given anything difficult to do; therefore her intelligence must be subnormal, or else she has never watched one of her own movies.

If we measure watchability as "looks+acting ability", she gets a 10, but most of the actresses in Hollywood get at least 15. (I can think of a few 18's, but can't think of any 19's or 20's at the moment.)

She's a Republican!!!

How many of your Hollywood '15s' can claim that?

The success of the movie "10" made her an international star overnight. She could have written her own ticket in Hollywood, but instead turned over the direction of her career to her husband, John, who promptly put her in nothing but a bunch of crappy movies that required her to to do nude scenes. Which destroyed any shred of credibility she had as an actress, however little.

I would put Elizabeth Hurley in the "20" category.
