Married. Zoe Caldwell, 34, Australian actress, whose tempestuous performance in Broadway's current The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie earned her this year's Tony Award; and Robert Whitehead, 52, producer of the show (and of such stage hits as The Member of the Wedding, Bus Stop); she for the first time, he for the second; in Mechanicsville...
...cast, by the by, is worth the price of admission in itself. I will term Thomas Babe a gifted mimic, Susan Channing an actress of tremendous range, Dean Gitter the possessor of one of the most authoratitive stage presences about, Tommy Lee Jones an actor with a true gift for insightful readings, Stephen Kaplan a protean comic figure, and Marilyn Pitzele a remarkable dramatic and comic singer.

Died. Fay Bainter, 74, one of Hollywood's best-remembered character actresses; after a long illness; in Los Angeles.

The Young Girls of Roche fort, a disappointing follow-up to Jacques Demy's ethereal The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, is a treacly...
...Screen & On. And she, as Severine, has clearly come of age as an actress. Though she has played love roles off-screen as well as on (she has an illegitimate son by Director Roger Vadim), her big-lashed amber eyes are still limpidly innocent, her figure still tidily trim. Daughter of French Actor Maurice Dorleac, she stumbled into the movies at 16, when her older sister, Actress Francoise Dorleac,* suggested her for a bit part during a school holiday. Vadim used her in two films; they split up after their child was born. She is now married to British Photographer...
