Starr wrestled from 1952 to 1977, and had become a recluse of sorts after retirement. Starr was living in London at the time of his death and was 83 years old. Starr, who was a legitimate nationally ranked wrestler, was considered too small to wrestle heavyweight, but his ballet dancer gimmick hit big on national television and he was a major star all over the country.
