<p> DIED. Mary Martin, 76, indefatigably cheerful leading lady
of musical comedy during Broadway's heyday and mother of actor
Larry Hagman, Dallas' J.R.; in Rancho Mirage, Calif. In the
1940s, '50s and '60s, Martin captivated audiences in a trio of
theatrical triumphs, first as Ensign Nellie Forbush in South
Pacific, then as the young hero of Peter Pan--her favorite
role, preserved for posterity in the famous 1960 television
re-creation--and as Maria von Trapp in The Sound of Music.
