Brought in in 1962 to replace drummer Pete Best, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey) joined The Beatles just as their career began to take off. His goofy charm was a big part of the band's stage presence, and a focal point of their much-acclaimed movies "A Hard Day's Night" and "Help!" As The Beatles broke up, Starr focused on his acting career, appearing in first in "Candy" and "The Magic Christian," then in a succession of box-office bombs such as "200 Motels" and "Caveman." Years of extravagant living and alcoholism eventually took their toll, but Starr rebounded in the '90s with a succession of "All-Starr Bands," a changing cast of veteran musicians with whom he successfully toured the U.S. several times. He continues to record and tour occasionally.
