How to suppress the parameters of a normal curve, when plotting histograms in a proc univariate step

Hi I am making comparative histogram plots in proc univariate with a normal curve. I would like to suppress the parameters like below, which is curved by red lines. Any ideas how to manage that? Thanks!!

Use NOCURVELEGEND Option like in the example below.

ods select histogram;
proc univariate data=sashelp.cars;
   histogram mpg_city / normal nocurvelegend;
run;

Specify option NORMAL(NOPRINT) on the HISTOGRAM statement.

@PGStats, I believe the normal(noprint) option will suppress the creation of tables that summarize the overlaid curve and not the creation of the legend in the red circle in the actual histogram.

proc sgplot data=sashelp.heart noautolegend;
histogram weight ;
density weight/type=normal;
run;

Yes the nocurvelegend option works! Thank you so much!
