Audrey Hepburn, 39, Hollywood's eternal princess (Roman Holiday, War and Peace); and Mel Ferrer, 51, its brooding prince (Knights of the Round Table, War and Peace), who married Audrey after they appeared together in a Broadway production of Ondine (she as a water sprite, he as knight-errant); on grounds of incompatibility; after 14 years of marriage, one child; in Merges, Switzerland...
