Milestones: Jun. 28, 1963

Born. To Baroness Fiona Thyssen-Bornemisza, 31, one of 1963’s ten best-dressed women, and Baron Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza, 42, German-born Swiss industrialist: their second child, first son; in Castagnola, Switzerland.

Born. To Roger Vadim, 35, French director (And God Created Woman), himself the creator of such film femmes as ex-Wife Brigitte Bardot; and Catherine Deneuve, 19, his latest protégé: a son, out of wedlock; in Paris.

Died. Pedro Armendariz, 51, lusty Mexican he-man heavy in innumerable Hollywood westerns (Fort Apache), best remembered for his portrayal of a bedeviled fisherman in the 1948 Mexican masterpiece, The Pearl; by his own hand (.357 Magnum Colt revolver); in Los Angeles, Calif.

Died. Richard Baer, 51, last commandant of Auschwitz (May 1944-January 1945), who supervised the murder of 380,000 Hungarian Jews and then disappeared until West German police caught up with him in 1960; of a heart attack; in Frankfurt, where he was awaiting trial.

Died. John Clifford Garrett, 55, founder (in 1936) and chairman of the $206 million Garrett Corp., who built his company on thin air, pioneering aircraft pressurization in World War II, and expanding with the industry until today Garrett supplies 2,000 aerospace products, including the oxygen gear for the Mercury astronauts; of a heart attack; in Beverly Hills.

Died. Field Marshal Alan Francis Brooke, 79, first Viscount Alanbrooke of Brookeborough and Chief of the British Imperial General Staff from 1941 to 1946, a brilliant staff officer little in the public eye while he was helping chart Allied strategy but later in full, controversial view when his wartime diaries became the basis for The Turn of the Tide and Triumph in the West, in which he attacked virtually every top American (Ike: “no real commander”; Patton: “A character”) and grandly regarded himself as the real architect of victory; of a heart attack; in Hartley Wintney, Hampshire.

Died. Mrs. Henrietta Nesbitt, 89, prim executive housekeeper at the White House from 1933 to 1946, who handled such oversized housewifely problems as bedtime hot-water bottles requested by the British royal family during a 1939 summer visit, and frightening morning memos from Mrs. F.D.R. (“Mrs. Nesbitt: There will be 5,000 to tea”), then chronicled it all in the bestselling White House Diary and The Presidential Cookbook; after a long illness; in Bethesda, Md.
