Monday, Jul. 30, 1973
Born. To Crown Prince Harald of Norway, 36, son of King Olav V, 70, and a great-great-grandson of Britain's Queen Victoria; and Crown Princess Sonja, 36, a dress merchant's daughter who married Harald in 1968 in spite of King Olav's opposition: their second child, a hoped-for prince; in Oslo.
Under Norwegian law, only a royal male can inherit the throne.
Married. Nelson Doubleday, 40, grandson of the founder of Doubleday & Co. and executive vice president of the venerable, family-controlled American publishing giant; and Sandra Pine Barnett, thirtyish, a Connecticut real estate broker; both for the second time; in Greenwich, Conn. Three days later, Doubleday came into full control of roughly $10 million of company stock, worth $300,000 a year in dividends.
Divorced. Diahann Carroll, 38, chic-sexy nightclub singer and the first black actress to star in her own television series (NBC's Julia); by Fredde Glusman, 39, the prosperous Las Vegas haberdasher who married her four months ago, shortly after Carroll broke her engagement to Talk Show Host David Frost; in Reno.
Died. Jack Hawkins, 62, robust, husky-voiced British actor often cast in the role of a steadfast military man (Bridge on the River Kwai) or a true-blue police inspector (Gideon of Scotland Yard); following a long battle with throat cancer; in London. In 1966 Hawkins lost his larynx to cancer. Last April, hoping to regain his full voice, he volunteered to undergo an experimental procedure in Manhattan for the surgical implantation of an artificial voice-box, but his throat never healed.
Died. Louis J. Caldor, 73, the art collector who discovered one of America's most popular primitive artists, the late Grandma Moses; near Clarksburg, Md. In 1938, Caldor, an engineer by profession, noticed some of her paintings among the jellies and doilies in a country drugstore window in upstate New York. He bought them all at an average price of $4 apiece. Two years later he helped the 80-year-old widow arrange for the first one-woman showing of her rural scenes in a Manhattan art gallery--paintings which eventually sold for as much as $10,000.
Died. Ida Bailey Allen, 88, who provided American homemakers with down-to-earth recipes in more than 50 cookbooks (Ida Bailey Allen's Modern Cookbook, Cook Book for Two); in Norwalk, Conn. Twice a widow, Mrs. Allen believed that good home cooking was an antidote to the rising divorce rate.
