Barbara Bach Biography

Barbara Bach (b. 8/27/47) Barbara Goldbach was born in the New York suburb of Queens, to a family with varied European origins (her Catholic mother was Irish, her Jewish father Austrian, and her Grandmother Rumanian). She attended an all-girls convent school on Long Island.

Bach met Italian businessman Augusto Gregorini on a flight to Rome in 1966. They were married in 1968 and moved to Italy where they had a daughter, singer-songwriter Francesca Gregorini and a son Gianni (born in 1972). In 1975, Bach separated from Gregorini and moved back to the United States with her two children.

Barbara met Ringo Starr on the set of the film ''Caveman'' in February 1980, and they were married on April 27, 1981, a few weeks after the film's release. Bach in recent years has accompanied Starr on his tours. Barbara Bach has appeared on some of Ringo's music videos, and played on some of his songs.

Bach holds a Master's Degree (UCLA, 1993) in Psychology. She started the Self Help Addiction Recovery Program (S.H.A.R.P.) with the help of George Harrison, Eric Clapton and Patti Boyd, who was a former wife of both Harrison and Clapton. Bach and Starr created The Lotus Foundation, a charity with many sub-charities.
