MILESTONES, Page 75
DIED. Daphne du Maurier, 81, British novelist whose
melodramatic tales of intrigue and romance won millions of readers;
in Par, Cornwall, England. The gothic imagery and polished
storytelling of Du Maurier's 24 books were often perfect fodder for
a plot-hungry Hollywood. Among her works made into films: Jamaica
Inn (1939), Rebecca (1940) and The Birds (1963), all directed by
Alfred Hitchcock.
