I would guess that the album was "Ringo" and that the Beatle who received the star was Ringo himself. (He was the only one who pursued an acting career.)
Can anyone pose a question? If so, here's mine:
On this day in 1947, one of Britain's premier glam rock stars was born.
Who is he and what eventually became of him?

Would that be Marc Bolan of T Rex? And by 'eventually became of him' are you referring to his death in an auto accident in 1976 or 1977?

Correct, Scott. Bolin died two weeks before his 30th birthday in 1977.

 YES, please! EVERYONE is welcome to ask or start a question/puzzle in ANY of my game threads. I wish more people would *tee hee* By the way, HWW, it was John Lennon who got the star.

Nope. Christopher, born Oct. 20, 1932, just turned 77. (Yes, he looked much younger than he really was on the show.)
