English singer, songwriter and actor and former Beatles drummer Ringo Starr (aka Sir Richard Starkey MBE) is filmed sitting next to his daughter Lee Starr in an Oldsmobile Cutlass on the set of an Oldsmobile commercial at Culver City Studios in July 1989 in Culver City, California.
In the studio were also present Maureen Tigrett (photos 1-3), director Joe Pytka (photo 1, standing in black), and Ringo's stunt double.
Some other photos show that Ringo's birthday (July 7th) was celebrated there.

Do any Mo Starkey historians out here know if its known where in Liverpool she was born/grew up, district or road or so on? I struggle to find info on her although perhaps I am looking in the wrong places. I'm from Liverpool myself so would be interesting to know! I have a vague recollection of my nan mentioning it once but she has now passed and taken the info with her if she knew.
EDIT: I found an old magazine factfile which states where she lived - I'm amazed, it is incredibly close to my childhood home and I know exactly the place! Provided the info is accurate! No wonder my nan knew where she lived - she may well have seen her.

Maureen Starkey Tigrett and Sir Richard Starkey married on this day, 11 February 1965.
'It's like the breakup of the Beatles. At one time we used to change together, then we started changing separately in different directions. There's no, like, 'Well, she cut my throat so we have to have a divorce.' There's no one snap thing that did it. It spread out over a year till you found yourself at the end of that year saying, 'What are we doing here? This isn't a marriage anymore.' And I had a fine marriage for eight-and-a-half years. I really had a fine marriage-- which I worked for, and she worked for it too. And it just started slipping away.'
Mr Charles Doughty, a partner in Withers, had told her that getting a divorce meant she would have to go into court and tell a judge that she could not bear to live with her husband any more. Asked by counsel how she felt about saying such a thing, Mrs Starkey clasped her forehead with her hand and whispered: 'I could not have said that because it was not true.'
