Curators at the Smithsonian put the kybosh on any plans to wheel a part of Christopher Reeve into their museum. Who does he think he is? Steven Hawking?
Deborah Morosini, the sister of Reeve's late wife, Dana, told Howard Stern's Sirius radio show she had graciously offered the beloved actor's chair to the Smithsonian so his gallant struggle to survive against the odds will be remembered for generations. But the deal fell through when the organization said thanks, but no thanks.
Katherine Ott, a curator at the National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C., which is run by the Smithsonian, confirmed to The NY Post that officials wanted much more than the wheelchair. She said the museum wants an entire collection of Reeve's possessions - but once the family learned of the demand, they cut off the contract.
