Died. John Villiers Farrow, 56, Hollywood writer-director and husband since 1936 of Actress Maureen O'Sullivan, a Roman Catholic whose rousing action films (Wake Island, Two Years Before the Mast) overshadowed but did not outshine his unfloridly written religious books, among them Damien the Leper and Pageant of the Popes; of a heart attack; in Beverly Hills.
