BORN. To Chrissie Hynde, 31, Akron-born lead singer-songwriter and only non-English member of the bestselling new wave rock group the Pretenders, and Ray Da vies, 38, lead singer-songwriter and clown prince of the Kinks, one of rock's most durable quintets; the unmarried couple's first child, a daughter; in London.

DIED. Michael Patrick Bilon, 35, the 34-in.tall actor who played the title role in E. T. The Extra-Terrestrial; of complications from a blood infection; in Youngstown, Ohio. A former radio announcer, sheriffs dispatcher and bowling alley bouncer, Bilon played, or rather wore, the 40-lb. hero in most of his movement scenes, an experience he compared with spending time in a steam bath.

DIED. Robert J. Kutak, 50, exuberant Omaha lawyer and indefatigable leader for the past five years of the campaign to reform the legal profession's code of ethics; of a heart attack; in Minneapolis. After a storm of protests over his proposals to weaken the bonds of client-attorney confidentiality, he watered down the new provisions, but his reformed code still faces an uphill fight at the American Bar Association's semiannual meeting this month.

DIED. Georges Bidault, 83, French politician who rose to national fame during World War II as head of the clandestine National Resistance Council, but descended into ignominy and exile after leading the clandestine right-wing resistance to Charles de Gaulle's Algeria policy; of a brain hemorrhage; in Camboles-Bains, France. After serving as Premier and Foreign Minister in several postwar Cabinets, he resigned from the government in 1958, finally fled the country in 1962 after his parliamentary immunity from arrest was lifted because of his support for the terrorist Secret Army Organization. He returned six years later under a De Gaulle amnesty.

DIED. George Cukor, 83, sensitive, sophisticated Hollywood film director, whose 51 films were characterized by craftsmanship and a dedication to the spoken word, but most of all by the climate he created for great performances; of a heart attack; in Los Angeles. He was known, to his occasional annoyance, as a woman's director for his ability to evoke inspired work from many of the great actresses of the 1930s and '40s, including Academy Award-winning performances by Ingrid Bergman (in Gaslight, 1944) and Judy Holliday (in Bom Yesterday, 1950) and memorable ones by Greta Garbo in Camille, Judy Garland in A Star Is Born, and Katharine Hepburn, Cukor's discovery, in ten productions, including The Philadelphia Story and Adam's Rib. Cukor also directed James Stewart, Ronald Colman and Rex Harrison to Oscars. Despite his films' critical and commercial success, Cukor won only one directorial Oscar, for 1964's My Fair Lady.
