Biography

Early life

Bach was born Barbara Goldbach in Queens, New York to Marjorie and Howard Goldbach, a policeman. Her father was Jewish and her mother was Catholic, and Bach attended a Catholic convent school.^[1] When she was sixteen, Bach left school to become a model, rising to the ranks of top models by the time she reached 17. At eighteen, she married Augusto Gregorini. They had two children in Italy, one of them being singer-songwriter Francesca Gregorini.

Career

Bach had several small roles in Italian films, although in 1975, Bach separated from Augusto and moved back to the United States. In 1977, Bach's role as Anya Amasova in The Spy Who Loved Me gained her recognition and awareness as an international sex symbol. In 1978 she played a role in the movie Force 10 from Navarone.

British musician Ringo Starr and Bach met on the set of the film Caveman in 1980. They were married on April 27, 1981, just a few weeks after the film's release. Since the mid-1980s, Bach has been inactive as an actress; in recent years, she has accompanied Starr on his tours. Bach currently resides in Aspen, Colorado.
