Engaged. Jane Fonda, 34, Oscar-winning actress (Klute) and antiwar activist; and Tom Hayden, 33, founder of the radical S.D.S. and one of the Chicago Seven defendants. The revolutionary twosome announced they will be married as soon as Fonda has her divorce from French Film Director Roger Vadim, probably early in 1973.

Died. Jose Limon, 64, one of the creators of the American modern dance; of cancer; in Flemington, N.J. Mexican-born Limon turned from painting to the dance in 1928, beginning a lifelong association with the pioneer teacher and choreographer Doris Humphrey. Under her guidance Limon began choreographing his own dances, but by the late 1940s had his own group, and with Mentor Humphrey as artistic director, polished his austere, flowing style. His major works include Missa Brevis and Emperor Jones. He is best remembered for The Moor's Pavane, created in 1949, a spare retelling of Othello that has become a dance classic.

Died. L. (for Lewis) Francis Herreshoff, 82, master yacht designer; in Boston. Most widely known for his do-it-yourself designs, Herreshoff built handsome wooden yachts, including Whirlwind, a 1930 contender to defend the America's Cup; and Ticonderoga, a trim, graceful 72-ft. ocean racer (built in 1936), which won the 1966 Transpac race from San Francisco to Honolulu.

Died. Frances, Countess Lloyd George, 84, widow of Britain's World War I Prime Minister; in Churt, England. Slim, attractive Frances Stevenson attended the Versailles peace conference as David Lloyd George's secretary. She was also his mistress, as her memoirs revealed, and continued her double role for 30 years until they were married in 1943 (his first wife died in 1941). As his confidante, she exerted considerable influence on the Liberal Party.

Died. Louella O. Parsons, 92, Hollywood's empress of gossip for more than three decades; in Santa Monica, Calif. Lolly, as intimates knew her, broke into movies as a scriptwriter, eventually moved on to write a daily Hollywood column for the Hearst newspapers. At her peak of influence in the '30s and '40s, the column appeared in 1,200 newspapers worldwide. A celebrated feuder, most notably with Orson Welles over his film Citizen Kane, which she said ridiculed William Randolph Hearst, she was also a tireless reporter with sharp instincts for a story and an early-warning radar for scandal. Two of her biggest exposes were the Douglas Fairbanks-Mary Pickford divorce and Ingrid Bergman's affair with Roberto Rossellini.
