Bo Derek earned a Golden Raspberry for worst actress in "Ghosts Can't Do It," a film that managed to win four of the 10 awards announced in a ceremony at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.
The 11th Annual Razzies, as the Golden Raspberries are known, also recognized Sofia Coppola, who made her screen debut in "The Godfather Part III." Coppola collected Razzies for worst supporting actress and worst new star.
Clay drew the honor for worst actor. "The Adventures of Ford Fairlane," a rock 'n' roll detective story, tied for worst picture with "Ghosts Can't Do It."
The latter film is described by Razzie voters as a soft-porn movie "so wretched it seems only Golden Raspberry Award Foundation members bothered to see it."
Real-estate mogul Donald Trump was named worst supporting actor for a cameo appearance in "Ghosts Can't Do It." John Derek was named worst director for the same movie.
The worst-screenplay prize went to "The Adventures of Ford Fairlane." Worst original song was "He's Comin' Back (The Devil)" from "Repossessed."
The Razzies are chosen by 350 filmmakers, critics and moviegoers in 25 states, with additional voters in Canada, England, Switzerland and Japan. The Razzie trophy, a gold-spray painted raspberry atop a Super 8 film reel, has an estimated street value of $1.79.
Martha Ott Pulliam celebrated her 100th birthday Saturday in Franklin, Ind., and her grandson, Vice President Dan Quayle, was in attendance.
Quayle and other family members made a private visit to the United Methodist Retirement Home for the birthday party.
"She told me when I was growing up that she didn't want to live to be 100, but she just celebrated that birthday," Quayle told reporters later.
When Pulliam was born in Franklin on March 23, 1891, President Harrison served with a vice president named P. Morton.
