Talk:Evalyn Walsh McLean

Children of Evalyn Walsh McLean
According to various sources, the children of Evalyn are
 * Vinson Walsh McLean (1909 - 1919)
 * John "Jock" Randolph McLean (1916 - Jul 7, 1975)
 * John Randolph McLean owned an aircraft factory in Dallas, Tx. He was married at least three times, and had at least two children:
 * John R. McLean (Jan 30, 1940 - )
 * Evalyn Walsh McLean (Jun 14, 1942 - Dec 12, 1967)
 * She died in a horse riding accident at age 25.


 * Edward "Ned" Beale McLean, Jr (Jul 28, 1918 - Jan 17, 1987)
 * Edward married at least two times and had 5 children:
 * Ronald Walsh McLean (Jun 19, 1944 - Jun 8, 1969)
 * He was killed in Vietnam.
 * Michael Hatrick McLean
 * Edward B. McLean III
 * Lachlan McLean
 * Emily Beale McLean


 * Evalyn "Evie" Washington McLean (1921 - Sep 20, 1946)
 * Evalyn married Senator Robert Rice Reynolds and had at least one child. Evalyn Reynolds died of a sleeping pill overdose that was ruled accidental.  Her daughter is:
 * Mamie Spears Reynolds (Oct 15, 1942 - )

I suspect the article has confused Evalyn Walsh McLean's son John Randolph with her grandson John R.

Yeah. Evelyn Walsh Mclean was a mediocre high society aristocrat who owned the two most expensive diamonds in the world and used all her immense wealth, that her father earned, to be a BAD interior decorator for OTHER mediocre high society aristocrats, but won favor with Russia by virtue of nothing more than ownership of the same diamond as their past leaders. "anything goes" as in "any POS can be favored by Russia, apparently" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.121.143.162 (talk) 16:04, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

Locations?
Not clear on where she was born or grew up. 'NW' sounds like Washington DC, but we need clarification. Valetude (talk) 23:52, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Hope Diamond Curse
When discussing the "Curse of the Hope Diamond", the wording used indicates that the curse is real. What exactly is Wikipedia's stance on the supernatural?
