R. E. Bozeman, all of Mexia, Hdlywood HOLLYWOOD Social note: On Aug. 27, or maybe Sept. 3, Stefania Zofja Fedefk- ievicz will marry John Gary Yurosek at Lake Tahoe.

this news might attract little Interest outside of Polish-American circles, except for the fact that the bride and groom are known professionally at Powers and Gary Lockwood. She is television's new "Girl from U.N.C.L.E." and he is out of this world in "2001, a Space Odyssey." Both are American-born; he is half-Polish, she is totally so. Their meeting couldn't have been more American. "1 was playing third base on a girls' softbnll team that played in Beverly Mills," she recalled. "Gary happened to be going with another girl who played softball." Stephanie declined to comment on whether Gary admired her form.

In truth, he didn't seem to notice for a couple of years; that's how long it took lim to ask for a dale. Their romance flowered, and she joined him on his London location for "Odyssey." Upon his return last month they decided on a wedding. Originally it was to be a big affair in Beverly Hills, but they decided against it. What convinced them? "The guest list," said Stephanie. "My own list grew to five hundred, and my family doesn't even live here.

Gary's family does live here, and there are plenty of them." She figured the bill for the wedding would have amounted to $5,000 That's two weeks' salary for me." Result: The decision to fly off to Tahoe with a handful of family and friends. Stephanie still hasn't decided on a date, but figures it will be late this month or early September. Honeymoon? Forget it. Stephanie will have to return to "The Girl from U.N.C.L.E." and Gary plans to leave for London to star in a film for his own company. fatia Njew 11 Beauty, Too Neatness is all part of be ty.
