MARRIED. Candice Bergen, 34, actress and photojournalist who has contributed a cool, poised beauty to such films as The Group and Carnal Knowledge; and Louis Malle, 47, New Wave French film director who has ranged from the sensually lyrical (Pretty Baby, Murmur of the Heart) to the politically provocative (Lacombe, Lucien); she for the first time, he for the second; in Lugagnac, France.

DIED. John ("Bonzo") Bonham, 32, drummer for the British rock group Led Zeppelin; of still undetermined causes; in Windsor, England. A retiring type offstage, living on a Worcestershire farm with his wife, son and daughter, Bonham had an exuberant style on the drums described by Rolling Stone magazine as "the aural equivalent of watching Clint Eastwood club eight bad guys over the head with a two-by-four while driving a derailed locomotive through their hideout."

DIED. Jacobus Johannes Fouche, 82, who as Defense Minister of South Africa helped turn the country into a virtual fortress of white apartheid rule and later served as President from 1968 to 1975; in Cape Town. In 1962, fearing an attack by a black "army of liberation" based in other African nations, Fouche initiated South Africa's largest-ever peacetime military buildup and warned its neighbors: "Stay where you are or there will be trouble."

DIED. Lewis Milestone, 84, director of nearly 40 films, notably the 1930 Academy Award-winner All Quiet on the Western Front; after a long illness; in Los Angeles. Russian-born Milestone won his first Oscar for a 1927 war comedy called Two Arabian Knights. He also directed the 1931 version of The Front Page, starring Adolphe Menjou and Pat O'Brien, the 1940 Of Mice and Men, starring Burgess Meredith, and the 1962 remake of Mutiny on the Bounty, starring Marlon Brando.

DIED. Ernie Shore, 89, who earned a small niche in baseball history by relieving Babe Ruth on the mound and pitching a virtually perfect game for the Boston Red Sox in 1917; in Winston-Salem, N.C. Ruth, then a pitcher, walked the first Washington batter, then was ejected for arguing with the umpire. After Shore came in, the base runner was caught stealing. Shore retired the next 26 batters and narrowly missed joining the eight pitchers who have thrown complete perfect games (facing 27 batters) since 1880.

DIED. Sol Lesser, 90, movie pioneer who produced more than 100 films and conceived the idea for a rating system that culminated in the current G, PG, R and X movie designations to guide audiences; in Hollywood. Son of a nickelodeon operator, Lesser was responsible for such features as the 1922 Oliver Twist, starring Jackie Coogan, and the Academy Award-winning 1951 documentary Kon-Tiki.
