#Fact
1Daughter Sean Catherine Derek wrote a memoir in 1982 titled "Cast of Characters" about her troubled relationship with him and about her famous stepmothers, Linda Evans being the only stepmother she had an affinity for.
2Left first wife Pati Behrs for second wife Ursula Andress, who spoke almost no English when they met and eventually left him for Jean-Paul Belmondo. He left third wife Linda Evans for fourth wife Bo Derek after directing her in Fantasies (1981) (shot in 1973) when she was just 16, but they remained together for the rest of his life.
3In 1944 he was drafted into the United States Army and serviced in the Philippines during the last days of World War II.
4Son, Russell Derek, was paralyzed from the chest down due to a motorcycle accident in 1969.
5Father, with Pati Behrs, of Russell Andre Derek (1950-1999) and Sean Catherine Derek.
6Son of Lawson Harris and Dolores Johnson.
7Photographed the last three of his four wives for Playboy magazine.
8In voting for 1981's RAZZIE Awards for Worst Achievements in Film, Derek's direction of Tarzan the Ape Man (1981) (starring his wife Bo Derek) and Michael Cimino's direction of the legendary debacle Heaven's Gate (1980) ran neck-and-neck. A mere handful of late ballots threw the Worst Director nod to Cimino.
