Show 1 ft lonnnnnnnnnntid He reached rock superstardom as The Beatles' drummer, but Ringo Starr has been building a bigger film career than most people realize. "As an actor, peo-ple only really think about me in Help and A Hard Day 's Night, " he says. In fact, though, the impish star has notched seven movies to his credit. The latest, Caveman (on HBO this month), is a wacky"prehistoric comedy starring Ringo as a wacky caveman. (It was on the Caveman set that he first met co-st- Barbara Bach, now Mrs. Starr). The multi-talente- d performer's other screen credits include Candy, The Magic Christian, 200 Motels, That'll Be The Day, Lisztomania and Sextette. Did you know that Maurice Joseph Micklewhite is one of the film world's biggest names? It's true but the world knows him as Michael Caine, star of The Hand (on HBO this month). In his real-lif- e rags-to-rich-es story, Caine grew up in pre-W- II London, where he declined the job borne by his father grandfather and great-grandfathe-r: fish porter. "I just couldn't see getting up at five in the morning to schlepp iced fish," he recalls. So after military service and a series of blue-coll- ar jobs, he gave acting a try. Now the only schlepping Caine does is around the garden of his eight-acr- e estate outside London. Three was the lucky number for actress Mary Steenburgen, who seems to be leading a charmed life. Her very first paying job as an actress was as a co-st-in Goin 'South with Jack Nicholson, who discovered her in a casting office. Then it was another big part in Time After Time with Malcolm McDowell (whom she later' wed). Big No. 3 was Melvin and Howard (now on HBO), which won the Arkansas native the coveted Best Actress Oscar. And most recently, Steenburgen wowed critics and audiences again with her work in the smash drama Ragtime. What's the lucky lady up to these days (surely with fairy godmother in attendance)? Tending the baby girl born to her and Mc- Dowell last year. "It's the greatest therapy in the world," claims George Segal. He isn't referring to video games or jogging, but to his own favorite outlet: playing the banjo. Happily for Segal, he was able to har-monize his profession and his pastime in his latest comedydrama hit. Carbon Copy (on HBO this month). Playing an ambitious executive who discovers he has a black son from out of his past. Segal relates: "There's a scene in which I'm flat broke and i stuck in the black ghetto of Watts with my son. I reach for the banjo and play to soothe my aching mind and bodv." Since I Segal plays professionally at times, he's only half joking when he says, "You only work on movies for a few months. I can j ; get steady work with the banjo."
