Married. Rebecca Welles, 25, daughter of Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth, a recent drama graduate of the University of Puget Sound in Washington; and Perry Moede, 22, a sculptor; both for the first time; in a private ceremony in Tacoma, Wash.

Died. Rick Besoyan, 45, former actor and singer who in 1959 wrote the book, music and lyrics and directed Little Mary Sunshine, one of Off-Broadway's alltime hits, which ran for 1,143 performances, and was produced in all 50 states and 24 foreign countries; of gastrointestinal bleeding; in Bay Shore, N.Y.

Died. Princess Irina Youssoupoff, 74, widow of Prince Felix Youssoupoff, the assassin of Rasputin, and niece of Czar Nicholas II; of a heart attack; in Paris. A fragile beauty whose wedding to Youssoupoff in 1914 mirrored all the pomp and splendor of the Romanoff empire, Princess Irina was hundreds of miles away on the evening, two years later, when her husband poisoned, shot and bludgeoned to death the Mad Monk. Soon afterward the couple fled to England, where in 1934 Irina made world headlines by winning a $125,000 libel suit against Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer for the film Rasputin and the Empress, which depicted her as having been raped by Rasputin.

Died. Alfred V. Verville, 79, pioneer aircraft designer who in 1914 with Glenn Curtiss designed the famed Curtiss Jenny, and later as a U.S. Army Air Service engineer developed the nation's first welded-fuselage fighter plane with droppable fuel tanks, the PW-1 Pursuit; of a heart attack; in La Jolla, Calif.

Died. Erie Stanley Gardner, 80, creator of Perry Mason and this century's bestselling American author (see BOOKS).

Died. Waldo Peirce, 85. American impressionist painter, a bewhiskered giant of a man noted as much for his exuberant life-style as for his bold, spontaneous art; of pneumonia; in Newburyport, Mass. Peirce lived with all the verve and gusto of his lifelong friend and traveling companion Ernest Hemingway, even to the point of taking four wives and running with the bulls at Pamplona. His splashy, sensuously colored paintings, said one critic, "smell of sweat and sound like laughter."

Died. Doris Doscher Baum, 88, former actress who in 1916 posed for Hermon Atkins MacNeil's Miss Liberty 25-cent piece; in Farmingdale, N.Y. A sparkling, blonde beauty who also posed for Karl Bitter's sculpture Diana, Mrs. Baum was chosen to model for the quarter because, as MacNeil put it, she exemplified "the highest type of American womanhood."
