Barbara Bach, Lady Starkey (born Barbara Goldbach; August 27, 1947) is an American actress and model who played the Bond girl Anya Amasova in the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) as well as the spy Maritza Petrović in Force 10 from Navarone (1978). She married Ringo Starr, former member of the Beatles, in 1981.
Bach was born in Rosedale, Queens, and grew up in Jackson Heights, the daughter of Marjorie (1920–) and Howard I. Goldbach (1922–2001), a policeman. Her mother is Irish Catholic, while her father was Jewish (from a family from Germany, Austria, and Romania). She graduated from the all-girl Dominican Commercial High School in Jamaica, Queens, New York in 1964. A year later, in 1965, she shortened her name to Bach and began a highly successful career as model posing for catalogs and fashion magazines. She is fluent in Italian and has a working knowledge of French and Spanish.
