Curse Legend On Diamond Isn’t True
Smithsonian curator Paul Desautels worked as technical adviser on The Legendary Curse of the Hope Diamond filming in Burbank. He asserts the curse is a myth and notes the Hope Diamond’s history includes luck and generous bequests to the museum. The piece also covers Missouri conservation leaders elected and John Ehrlichman disbarment in Washington state.
