COVER STORY
It's easy to see why Bo Derek (making her third PLAYBOY cover appearance) brings
out the beast in men—and vice versa. Here s Bo, as Jane, hanging out in
the jungle with C.J. the orangutan, supporting-cast member in the Dereks' upcoming
film Tarzan, the Ape Man (starring and produced by Bo; directed by John, who also
shot the cover). For more of the remarkable Bo, see Tarzan & Bo (page 146).
