'''Bernard Herman''' (12 August 1931 – 20 September 2014)<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.wrestlingdata.com/index...|publisher=Wrestlingdata|accessdate=2024-4-27}}</ref> was an American-British [[professional wrestler]], boxer and ballet dancer who spent his career in the United States, and Europe under the [[ring name]] '''Ricki Starr'''.
==Professional wrestling career==
Starr started out his career as an amateur boxer, before switching to ballet and becoming so successful that he enjoyed a run on Broadway.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.oklafan.com/bios/view/2243/}}</ref> Made his professional wrestling debut in 1952 in Texas. His wrestling gimmick was a ballet dancer where he did acrobatic moves in the ring. Starr popularized the aeroplane spin as his finisher, a move which called upon his ballet background to execute perfectly.
In 1962, he made his first trip to England.
Later in his career, he wrestled in Mexico, France, Germany and Austria.
==Personal life and death==
After retiring from wrestling in 1977, Starr resided in London until his death.
