Barbara Bach’s Life After Hollywood and Her Long Marriage to Ringo Starr

For many film fans, Barbara Bach will always be remembered as Major Anya Amasova—better known by the codename Triple X—the intelligent Soviet agent who appeared opposite Roger Moore in the 1977 James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me.

Her performance introduced audiences to a Bond heroine who was capable, confident, and central to the story rather than simply serving as a supporting character. Decades after the film’s release, it remains one of the most celebrated entries in the James Bond franchise, and Bach’s portrayal continues to be recognized as one of the series’ most memorable performances.
