Passages
Deals
Actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, 30, and her husband-to-be, Michael Douglas, 55, have confirmed that they have signed a prenuptial agreement. But a rep for Douglas says the reported amount of more than $3 million for every year Zeta-Jones is married to him is completely fabricated. The couple plan to wed before the end of the year.
Moving Violations
While driving to a stand-up gig near Stafford, N.J., on July 11, Jimmie Walker, who spouted "Dy-No-Mite" as jive-talking J.J. on the 1970s sitcom Good Times, collided with another vehicle. Although the 5 3-year-old comedian was not hurt, minor injuries sent the driver of the other car and her passenger to a local hospital. Walker was cited by highway patrolmen for failure to maintain his lane.
Recuperating
Andre Agassi, 30, sprained his back when the car in which he was traveling was rear-ended in Las Vegas on July 9. The injury left the tennis champ unable to raise his right arm above the shoulder and forced him out of a Davis Cup semifinal in Spain.
Deaths
Actor Justin Pierce, who played a nihilistic, drug-using teen in the 1995 film Kids, was found dead in a Las Vegas hotel room on July 10. He was 25 and had apparently hanged himself....
Robert Runcie, 78, the former archbishop of Canterbury who united Prince Charles and Diana Spencer in marriage, died on July 11 of prostate cancer in Hertfordshire, England. In time, Lord Runcie condemned the 1981 royal union as "arranged" and accused Diana of being an "actress" and "a schemer."...
Rose Marie Thomas, 86, the widow of comedian Danny Thomas and the mother of actress Mario Thomas, died on July 12 in Beverly Hills. She was the head of fund-raising for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital in Memphis.
Dastardly Deed
On June 29 in Orange Park, Fla., someone vandalized the graves of Ronnie Van Zant and Steve Gaines, two of the members of the southern rock group Lynyrd Skynyrd. Van Zant's coffin had been pulled from its above-ground mausoleum, and a small quantity of Gaines's ashes were spilled. Both died in an airplane crash on Oct. 20, 1977.
Engaged
Actor James Marsden, 26, who plays the cyclops in the hit film X-Men, announced on July 17 that he and his honey, soap actress Lisa Linde, 28, have decided to wed.
Legal Matters
On July 7 a superior court judge compelled a Beverly Hills hospital to produce documents for a case brought against it by actress Lani O'Grady, 45. O'Grady, who played Mary Bradford on TV's Eight Is Enough from 1977 to '81 and is the sister of Don Grady (Robbie of TV's My Three Sons), filed a complaint last year alleging that she was assaulted while attending a drug-and-alcohol rehab clinic at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
Denial
In response to an article in Britain's Sunday Times that said Prince Charles was considering remarriage, Stephen Lamport, the prince's private secretary, stated in a July 17 public letter that the 51-year-old royal has no intention of marrying his longtime paramour Camilla Parker Bowles, 53. Another close aide added, "There is no intention of [that]. We keep saying it, but it is ignored or dismissed as dissembling."
