...mark stood at an even dozen. Now Mary, Mary has come along to make it a baker's dozen-and to serve up a yeasty $1,000,000 for Playwright Jean Kerr, 40. But she is almost too busy to spend her dough. Wife of the New York Herald Tribune's Drama Critic Walter Kerr, she is expecting her sixth child in October, has just sold her best-selling novel Please Don't Eat the Daisies to NBCTV, is finishing up her next play, Poor Richard, due on Broadway next year...
