She also starred opposite Harrison Ford just as he was becoming a major box-office draw.
This actress, who is best known for her work in film, had worked extensively as a model in the 1960s and later auditioned unsuccessfully for Charlie’s Angels.
She’s also married to one of the biggest rock stars of the 1960s.

She also worked as an in-demand model and later married one of the most iconic rockers of the 1960s. Can you guess who she is?
She’s the model and actress Barbara Bach.
Bach had her biggest success to date when she starred in the 1977 James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me.
She’s also the wife of former Beatles drummer Ringo Starr.
The Daily Mail has reached out to a representative for Starr to request comment but has not yet heard back.
Bach looked shockingly youthful in a cool and casual ensemble featuring a black linen jacket, a matching black T-shirt and olive cargo pants.
She covered her long black hair with a black cap and carried a black handbag.
Bach was born Barbara Goldbach in 1946 in Rosedale, Queens.
After shortening her surname, she became an in-demand model in the ’60s, when she graced the covers of Vogue USA – which was shot by Richard Avedon – ELLE France and Seventeen, among other publications.

In 1980, she met former Beatle Ringo Starr, and the two were married at Marylebone Town Hall in April 1981 (above)
The couple later checked into rehab together in 1988 after she had struggled with drug and alcohol use for years, and the two have since remained sober
Bach has largely been retired from acting since the mid-’80s, aside from an uncredited appearance Paul McCartney’s 2007 music video for Nod Your Head
Bach made the jump to acting in 1968, when she played Nausicaa in an adaptation of Homer’s Odyssey shot for Italian TV, with Franco Rossi directing and Dino de Laurentiis producing.
In the early ’70s, she primarily worked on Italian productions, including comedies, crime thrillers and giallo horror films.
Years before she starred in The Spy Who Loved Me, she appeared in the Italian horror film Black Belly of the Tarantula with fellow Bond girls Claudine Auger – of Thunderball fame – and Barbara Bouchet, who had appeared in the 1967 version of Casino Royale.
Bach’s role as Anya Amasova in The Spy Who Loved Me increased her stature, as the film was praised by fans and critics after a string of divisive Bond films in the late ’60s and ’70s.
A year later, she starred with Harrison Ford and Robert Shaw in the sequel Force 10 from Navarone.
However, even with her high-profile Bond film, Bach continued acting primarily in Italian and European films until the ’80s, and she largely stepped away from the screen by the middle of that decade.
In 1980, she met former Beatle Ringo Starr, and the two were married at Marylebone Town Hall in April 1981.
Bach and Starr later checked into rehab together in 1988 after she had struggled with drug and alcohol use for years, and the two have since remained sober. In 1991, she joined Pattie Boyd, the ex-wife of both George Harrison and his friend Eric Clapton, to co-found the Self Help Addiction Recovery Program (SHARP).
Bach has largely been retired from acting since the mid-’80s, aside from an uncredited appearance in Paul McCartney’s 2007 music video for Nod Your Head.
