Ringo met Maureen Cox soon after he joined The Beatles. They kept their relationship on the down low, but given that the drummer spoke sweet words about Cox, it’s not a surprise they eventually tied the knot.
Ringo and Mo married in 1965 and had three children together. The union fell apart in 1975, but Ringo remained close even as they both moved on.
The drummer dated off and on for several years, but that ended when he met Barbara Bach on the set of Caveman. The movie was filmed in Mexico from February to April 1980, per IMDb. A year later, Ringo and Bach were married in London. His second marriage has lasted ever since.
To promote Ringo Starr’s album “Stop And Smell The Roses“, a special 11-minute promotion film was created to showcase three of its tracks (two of them have been written by Paul McCartney).
Beatles drummer Ringo Starr had a penchant for acting. He’s starred in a string of films, including Candy, The Magic Christian, (read and watch below) 200 Motels and Lisztomania, in a host of roles that range from the utterly bizarre to the completely forgettable.
A mini-film produced by MPL Communications called “The Cooler” it is a short musical psycho-drama starring Ringo Starr, Barbara Bach, Paul and Linda McCartney, and set in a prison camp, policed entirely by women, somewhere, sometime in the future.
Wanting the album to be a success, Starr enlisted the help of his old bandmate, Paul McCartney, who wrote the tracks ‘Private Property’ and ‘Attention’.
Watch below Ringo Starr and Peter Sellers in "The magic christian"A British satirical black comedy comedy finds a homeless hobo (Ringo Starr) being adopted by the world's richest man, Sir Guy Grand (Peter Sellers). Setting sail on the luxury liner The Magic Christian, Sir Grand tests the limit of human avarice.
With money to motivate the greedy, Laurence Harvey combines his Hamlet soliloquy with a striptease. A vile cesspool of excrement is seeded with cash and the money-hungry dive right in. Wilfred Hyde White is the drunken captain, Yul Brynner is uncredited in his performance as a chanteuse transvestite, and John Cleese is the director of Sotheby's auction house ( Released in 1969).
Episodic in character, The Magic Christian is an unrelenting and often heavy-handed satire on capitalism, greed, and human vanities. Notable are the appearances of (pre-Monty Python) John Cleese and Graham Chapman (uncredited), who had jointly written an earlier version of the film script — of which only the scenes they appear in survived.
Roman Polanski, Richard Attenborough and Raquel Welch also appear in this offbeat comedy. Paul McCartney wrote and produced "Come and Get It," the first international hit from the power-pop group Badfinger. John
"Speedy" Keene wrote "Something In The Air" and performed the track with his group Thunderclap Newman. Sellers, Cleese, Graham Chapman and Terry Southern co-authored the screenplay taken from Southern's novel.
