Married. Terry Moore, 22, starlet; and Glenn Davis, 26, onetime Army halfback (TIME Cover, Nov. 12, 1945), professional football player (Los Angeles Rams); in Glendale, Calif.

Married. Crania Guinness, 39, British beer heiress, daughter of the late Lord Moyne; and Oswald Constantine John Phipps, fourth Marquess of Normanby, 38; in a suspenseful ceremony in Lythe, England. When the presiding Archbishop of York reached the point of asking if anyone had “just cause” for objection, 300 wedding guests were startled when a pale little man jumped up and cried, “Yes, I have, my Lord Archbishop.” His Grace paused and looked up for an instant at Thomas Trueman, 45, who believes he has some claim to the bridegroom’s Normanby title and estates. But the archbishop gave Mr. Trueman no opportunity to state his objections, and the little man retired dourly to the rear of the church.

Married. His Imperial Majesty, Mohamed Reza Pahlevi, 31, Shahinshah (King of Kings) of Iran, and Soraya Esfandiari, 18, Europe-schooled daughter of a chief of the proud Bakhtiari tribe by his German wife; in glittering Marmar Palace, Teheran, Iran. Wearing a Dior silver lamé gown with 6,000 diamonds, the bride rode to the simple ceremony in a gold-trimmed Rolls-Royce. The Shah ordered festivities limited to one day, food distributed to the poor. Among the wedding gifts: a $1,500 crystal bowl from Harry Truman, a mink coat (reported value: $150,000) from Joseph Stalin, a $70,000 hospital from the British-owned Anglo-Iranian Oil Co., Ltd.

Eddy (Edwin Frank) Duchin, 41, pianist-orchestra leader of radio, screen and ballroom, famed for his frilly “society” style; of leukemia, on the day the Navy awarded him a citation for meritorious service in World War II; in Manhattan. Son of a Boston druggist, Duchin disappointed his father by not sticking to the family business. His first wife, Socialite Marjorie de Loosey Oelrichs, died in 1937, six days after giving birth to a son. In 1947 he married Maria Teresa Paske-Smith Winn, daughter of a British diplomat.

Died. Fritz Thyssen, 77, one of Germany’s top prewar industrialists, “the man who made Hitler”; of a heart attack; in Buenos Aires.

Died. Mrs. Hetty Sylvia Ann Howland Green Wilks, 80, possibly the world’s richest woman (worth $100 to $125 million), daughter of Hetty Green, “The Witch of Wall Street” (1835-1916); in Manhattan. As a girl, she often lived in shabby flats, cooked and sewed to save pennies for her millionaire mother. She grew up an ungainly recluse, usually dressed in black, at 38 married 57-year-old Matthew Astor Wilks, great-grandson of Millionaire John Jacob Astor I. Wilks left her a mere million to add to nearly $50 million from her mother, $43 million from her brother. Like her mother, she spent little on herself, less on others, multiplied her fortune through stocks and real estate. She left no immediate heirs.
