- DIED. Mary Martin, 76, indefatigably cheerful leading lady
- of musical comedy during Broadway's heyday and mother of actor
- Larry Hagman, Dallas' J.R.; in Rancho Mirage, Calif. In the
- 1940s, '50s and '60s, Martin captivated audiences in a trio of
- theatrical triumphs, first as Ensign Nellie Forbush in South
- Pacific, then as the young hero of Peter Pan -- her favorite
- role, preserved for posterity in the famous 1960 television
- re-creation -- and as Maria von Trapp in The Sound of Music.
