The spy who admired Barbara Bach’s character, Bond girl Triple X, didn’t need to be saved. The hero she was looking for was her rocker husband, Sir Richard Starkey, better known as Ringo Starr.
As the potential adversary and romantic interest of Roger Moore’s womanizing 007 agent James Bond, Bach, a 75-year-old model and performer, was at the pinnacle of her career in 1977’s The Spy Who Loved Me.
Bach referred to Bond as “a chauvinist pig who uses girls to shield him against bullets,” according to a 1983 People article.
Moore agreed, stating that “Bond, like myself, is a male chauvinist pig” in an interview with People in 1973, the year he starred in his first Bond film, Live and Let Die. I’ve devoted my life to urging women to abandon their brassieres and pants.
Prior to starring in The Spy Who Loved Me, Bach had acted in Italian movies. In the 1971 Italian murder thriller Black Belly of the Tarantula, she costarred with two other Bond Girls: Claudine Auger from Thunderball (1965) and Barbara Bouchet from Casino Royale (1967).
With her legendary performance as a Bond girl, the brown-haired beauty became an all-time favorite and helped launch her acting career.
After playing the fictional KGB agent Major Anya Amasova, she starred in Mad Magazine Presents Up the Academy (1980), directed by Robert Downey Sr., and Caveman (1981), a slapstick comedy in which she costarred with Dennis Quaid, Shelley Long, and now-82-year-old Ringo Starr.
Despite his Neanderthal passion for Bach’s character Lana, Starr finally rejects her and chooses a new relationship.
The screenplay does not depict the real-life events in any way.

hey have also been sober since 1988, when they attended treatment together.
To mark the couple’s 40th anniversary, Starr posted a photo from their wedding day in 2021, with McCartney and Harrison, with the caption, “It was 40 years ago today The love of my life said yes yes yes.”
The couple’s love goes beyond their blended family; Bach has two children with her ex-husband, Augusto Gregorini, and Starr has three with her late wife, Maureen Cox. They also manage a charitable organization called The Lotus Foundation. Numerous projects pertaining to cancer, homelessness, substance abuse, and animals are funded by the organization. Starr, who is also an artist, donates all revenues to the group.
If they could, they would definitely be together “Eight Days a Week.”
I just love the man,” Bach said.
“There is no way out,” Starr adds. That Barbara still loves me and that we are still together is a huge blessing. I think my feelings for her are still as strong as they were when we first met.
We like to hear about love! Additionally, the one that is shared between the former Bond girl Barbara Bach and her rock star husband Ringo Starr is incredibly inspiring. We’re excited to watch what they accomplish in life and with their philanthropic work!
