Died. Richard Kollmar, 60, former Broadway producer and longtime radio actor best known for his portrayal of the title role in Boston Blackie and Breakfast with Dorothy and Dick, a daily talk show in which he and his late wife, Columnist Dorothy Kilgallen, would chat intimately over the clatter of morning dishes; in Manhattan...

Richard Kollmar, 55, onetime Broadway producer (Plain and Fancy), longtime radio chit-chat man (from 1945 to 1963, with his late wife Dorothy Kilgallen on Breakfast With Dorothy and Dick), now proprietor of Manhattan's Pastiche Gallery; and Mrs. Anne Fogarty, 48, designer of stylish medium-priced frocks; both for the second time, in a civil ceremony (the bride wore a Fogarty) in Manhattan...

She calls her husband Chopsy and he calls her Lambsy, she revealed. "We don't have separate bedrooms," she said. "We do have separate bathrooms-after all." He said he would like her to give up What's My Line?, her New York Journal-American column, and all that jazz and write "The Great American Novel." In her closet there are 138 pairs of shoes. Why?
