Daily Mirror, Saturday August 30, 1958

Dimples’ Boyd will wed today

Handsome Irish screen actor Stephen Boyd, the dreamboy with dimples, is getting married today.

His bride will be Italian starlet Mariella di Sarzana, pictured with him in Italy.

The ceremony will e at Fulham register office. The couple will fly back to Rome for Stephen to resume work on Monday on a new film version of "Ben Hur"

"Dimples" Boyd, 30, met Mariella at a Rome cocktail party given by Film Company bosses.

Not so long ago, Stephen was a commissionaire at a West End cinema.

Then he won a seven-year contract to MAKE films instead of just shouting out the seat prices.

 

Below are pictures of the wedding reception in Rome at their hotel. William Wyler is featured on the left in the first picture together with Sam Zimbalist, the director and producer of Ben Hur as they watch Mariella & Stephen cut the wedding cake. They were addressed by a man dressed up as a Roman soldier and the wedding cake in the background has a chariot on top with the bride and groom in it. Charlton Heston was also present at the reception.
