In the late 1970s, Carl Gottlie started to work on a prehistoric comedy called "Caveman" with the ex Beatle Ringo Starr. Barbara and Ringo met while filming this movie in February of 1980 in Mejico, and Ringo fell in love with Barbara instantly.
On 8th December 1980, when John Lennon was killed, Ringo and Barbara went to New York to console Yoko Ono and Sean Lennon.
While traveling with Francesca Gregorini (Barbara`s daughter from previous marriage) through England in May 1980 Ringo and Barbara suffered a near-fatal car crash, miraculously surviving with few injuries. Ringo had decided he never wanted to be separated from Bach ever again. Three weeks later, Bach told her father that she was going to marry Ringo.
On April 27th 1981 Barbara became the second Mrs. Richard Starkey at a ceremony in Marylebone Register Office performed by Joseph Jevons, who years earlier had married Paul and Linda McCartney in the same building. The McCartneys and Harrisons were guests at the wedding and reception at Rags (in Mayfair).
Now that he had Bach, Ringo was ready to rejuvenate his musical career. Barbara was his inspiration and also his motivation. They`ve been happy ever since.
