Married. Joseph Leo Mankiewicz, 53, pipe-chewing Hollywood director most recently involved with Cleopatra; and Rosemary Matthews, 33, a production assistant on the Cleo set; he for the third time; in Manhattan.

Divorced. John Osborne, 33, Britain's angriest young playwright; by Actress Mary Ure, 29; on uncontested grounds of adultery with three women (she admitted adultery too); after five years of marriage, one son; in London.

Died. David Demarest Lloyd, 51, Harvard-trained lawyer who became a speechwriter and assistant to Harry Truman and later head of his presidential library; of a stroke; in Alexandria. Va.

Died. Charles Laughton, 63, matchlessly versatile character actor of stage and screen; of cancer; in Hollywood. An English hotelkeeper's son, the rotund Laughton studied for the London stage, but his star rose on the screen with one tour de force after another--as a warmhearted gargoyle (Hunchback of Notre Dame), a thundering misanthrope (Mutiny on the Bounty), a ribald monarch (Henry VIII), an oratorical Southern senator (Advise and Consent). He was honored with Oscars, but cared little for the trappings of a star; as he himself said: "The truth is, I'm an incurable ham."

Died. George Ephraim Sokolsky, 69, foreign correspondent turned syndicated columnist, a militant conservative who was a fiery one-man front for capitalism; of a heart attack; in Manhattan. Son of a New York rabbi and a student at Columbia Journalism School, he left to observe the Russian Revolution firsthand, got bounced from the country by the Soviets for his adverse editorial views, landed in China with one Yankee dollar in his pocket, and stayed 14 years in Asia as a correspondent, political adviser and friend of China's revolutionary leader, Dr. Sun Yatsen. Returning to the U.S. in 1935, he started his sternly anti-Communist political punditry in the New York Herald Tribune, moved to the Sun and later to the Hearst chain.

Died. General Alfredo Kindelan y Duary, 83, chief of General Francisco Franco's rebel air force during the Spanish Civil War, a Cuban-born marquis who as a young man was an avid balloonist fired up by the writings of Jules Verne and H. G. Wells, became Spain's first full-fledged military pilot; of a heart ailment; in Madrid. Though Kindelan was the man in charge in 1937, historians absolve him of blame in the well-remembered bombardment of Guernica, the first time that aircraft were employed systematically to annihilate a defenseless civilian population, killing 1,654 in a few hours. That was a Nazi show.
