NAMES IN THE NEWS : Simon, Lander Retie Untied Knot
Playwright Neil Simon and actress Diane Lander, who divorced 18 months ago, have tied the knot again.
Actors Richard Benjamin and Paula Prentiss and comic Carl Reiner were among the 30 guests at the wedding Saturday at Simon’s Bel-Air home.
Simon, 62, and Lander, 38, first wed in January, 1987, and they divorced in the summer of 1988.
Many of Simon’s more than 25 plays have been turned into motion pictures, including “Barefoot in the Park,” “The Odd Couple,” “Biloxi Blues” and “The Sunshine Boys.”
Lander was a regular on the now-defunct television show “House Calls,” said Bill Evans, the playwright’s publicist.
