Love seemed to be such an easy game to play for Ringo Starr, 40, as he emerged from London's Marleybone town hall with his new bride. Actress Barbara Bach, 34, and a pair of comely young bridesmaids -their daughters by former marriages-Ringo's Lee, 10, and Barbara's Francesca...
...camp it up this time, with Ringo Starr as a misfit caveman and sultry Barbara Bach as his Stone Age Circe? Why not, indeed?
