Iconic actress Barbara Bach was a big name and a talent back in the 70s and 80s. She was at the peak of her career when she decided to step out of the spotlight as she was in love with a rock star.
Bach was first married to Augusto Gregorini, which she met while she was a model in overseas.
When it was 1968, Bach started her acting career with her role as Nausicaa, in the Italian TV adaptation of “The Odyssey.”
From her marriage to Gregorini, Bach welcomed two children, Francesca and Gianni. Later, they divorced in 1975.
“My marriage was by no means a mistake. I have two wonderful kids—Francesca, 12, and Gianni, 8—and I learned a whole new culture. It just wasn’t a lifetime commitment.” Bach said.
As she returned to the US, Bach starred in “The Spy Who Loved Me,” Bond movie in 1977, which brought her breakthrough.
Later she met Ringo Starr of the iconic band, The Beatles. Starr recalled, “They still think I’m just some rock’n’roll drummer and don’t respect me as an actor, but the people I’ve worked with — like Peter Sellers and Richard Burton — gave me a far better education than an acting school could.”
“On April 27, he told me he loved me,” Barbara said. They moved in later.
“We decided we wouldn’t spend any time apart. So far, the longest break was five days, and that was too long. I want to live every minute with Barbara.”
“We both had the same philosophy. Neither one ever wanting to marry again,” Bach said.
“Quite honestly, I never thought I’d be so lucky, to fall so much in love that I’d want to do the whole thing over. My family was shocked,” the actress said.
“I love the man, and that’s it.” Bach said. On top of that, Starr commented, “There’s no escape…I think I love Barbara as much [today] as I did [when we met]—and I’m beyond blessed that she loves me and we’re still together.”
