I think Mo looks older then Ringo, even though he was like 6 years older then her lol.

I think it's so adorable that they kept up their friendship even after the divorce and everything.

Mo is so cool because she's not like an actress or anything, she a simple hair dresser!

they got married when he was 24 and she was EIGHTEEN.

I can't get over that. yauy.

IMPACT ON THE '60s: Lacking career aspirations, Maureen was not as famous as other Beatle girls like Jane Asher (who was internationally famous as Paul's girlfriend and an aspiring actress) or Pattie Boyd (who was George's wife and a London model). Like John's wife Cynthia, Maureen was more comfortable in the background, just a-lovin' her Beatle, and had no pretentions of a music or movie career. Jane wanted a TV or stage career, Pattie was hoping to be a model, Maureen wanted simply to be Mrs. Starr. According to Hunter Davies' book The Beatles, this was her outlook while with Ringo: "Maureen prefers the quiet life, although her life is really Ringo's. Anything he wants to do, she wants to do. They are very happy. She is the only Beatle wife who stays up for her husband and waits for him, no matter how late or in what condition he's likely to arrive."

CAREER IN THE '60s: She and Ringo met in '63. After a brief breakup just before the Beatles got famous, she and Ringo were together for the rest of the decade. They were not divorced until '75.

CAREER OUTSIDE THE '60s: She stayed married to Ringo until ’75; actually, Maureen didn't want the divorce, even though Ringo had had numerous affairs, but eventually she gave in to the inevitable.

TALENT: Before she met Ringo, she worked as a hairdresser. Once she had Ringo, she wasn't interested in being a star, and thus was offered the most stable homelife of most of the Beatle girls in those days. Like Cynthia Lennon, she was interested only in pleasing her man and providing a good home for him to come home to.

HER ‘60s LOOK: She was bland in a cute sort of way. Or, she was cute in a bland sort of way. Unlike George's glamorous Patti Boyd and John's exotic Yoko, Maureen looked like a neighborhood girl, pretty but not a model or a creative artist. Her hair changed color during the decade, starting out brunette at the beginning of her Beatle years. She's blonde in the loving montage of "Beatle wives" that accompanies the late-'60s song "Something" on the 2002 Beatles Anthology DVD (that same montage shows her and Ringo playfully riding minibikes).

LIFESTYLE: You've gotta admit, she hung with the right people, and her lifestyle was definitely swingin', considering she landed one of the planet's most eligible bachelors. Early in her relationship with Ringo, she caused something of a national controversy when she went with him on a romantic island holiday, though she was only seventeen at the time. Like Cynthia Lennon before her and Linda McCartney later, Maureen married her Beatle because she was already pregnant, and son Zak was born seven months after the February '65 wedding. Maureen was one of only two Beatle wives at the famous January 30, 1969 rooftop concert, which was the group's last live performance (Yoko was the other wife there). Here's an excerpt from an interview with Ringo and John in '65:

"Q--Does marriage agree with you?

Ringo--Yes, it does.

Q--How did you propose to your wife?

Ringo--Same as anybody else.

Q--I want to get married and I want to do it right.

Ringo--You want to do it right?

Q--How do I do it?

John--Use both hands."

Other kids Maureen had with Ringo were Jason in '67 and Lee in '70. After she and Ringo were married, many people later believed she had an extra-marital affair with George Harrison, which may have hastened his divorce from Pattie Boyd. Maureen remarried in '89, her new husband was Isaac Tigrett, one of the owners of the Hard Rock Cafe and House of Blues chain. When she gave birth to a daughter, Augusta, Dan Aykroyd was the godfather. Sadly, she died in '94 of leukemia, with her family and Ringo at her bedside.

EXTRAS: Her name for Ringo: Richie, short for his given name, Richard ... she answered lots of his fan mail, and made lots of her own clothes ... she also got lots of hate mail for having taken Ringo away from his fans....

I feel...so sorry for Mo.
