Michael Douglas, 32, actor and Academy Award-winning co-producer of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest; and Diandra Lucker, 21, Georgetown University foreign affairs student whom he met at a Carter preInauguration party in Washington; both for the first time; in Beverly Hills, Calif. Said Actor Kirk Douglas, father of the groom: "I'll kill that guy if he turns me into a grandfather."

Marriage Revealed. Ken Howard, 33, tall, blond actor on Broadway (Seesaw) and TV (Adam's Rib); and Margo Coleman, 37, freelance writer and daughter of Columnist Ann Landers; she for the third time, he for the second; on March 13 in Chicago, three months after he opened in Equus and she interviewed him for the Chicago Daily News.

Separated. Cher Bono Allman, 30, TV songstress; and Gregg Allman, 28, former singer with the Allman Brothers band. The couple, married in June 1975, have been separated twice before. Cher, who still performs with ex-Husband Sonny, has requested custody of the Allmans' eight-month-old son Elijah Blue.

Died. Emile Cardinal Biayenda, 50, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Brazzaville, the Congo; kidnaped from his Brazzaville home and slain. One of eight black African Cardinals, Biayenda was made the first Congolese primate by Pope Paul VI in 1973. He was killed five days after the assassination of Congolese President Marien Ngouabi, of whose socialist policies he approved. Some observers fear that the murders may be a new beginning of tribal warfare in the Congo.

Died. Betty Anick, 57, the world's longest-surviving heart-transplant patient; of an apparent heart attack; in Nokomis, Fla. Anick received the heart of a 30-year-old man in a four-hour operation in October 1968. Since then, she had devoted much of her time to visiting heart-surgery patients and raising funds for heart research.

Died. Nunnally Johnson, 79, the witty Georgian who was one of Hollywood's most versatile and highly paid screenwriters and producers; of pneumonia; in Los Angeles. After stints as a newspaperman and a humorist for the Saturday Evening Post, Johnson wrote nearly 100 screenplays in 35 years, including such classics as The Grapes of Wrath, Tobacco Road, The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit and The Three Faces of Eve. A wisecracker, he quipped after two divorces: "I always insist on custody of the mother-in-law."
