"Scary," haunted Lucille Ball Statute Will Be Demolished
Quote:
More than a year after a "scary" Lucille Ball statue made headlines when it was unveiled, a replacement sculpture of the comedy icon is set to be revealed this weekend.
Artist Carolyn Palmer created the new statue for Ball's hometown of Celoron, NY.
The sculpture will be unveiled at the Lucille Ball Memorial Park at noon Saturday, in honor of what would have been Ball's 105th birthday.
Palmer won a national competition to create the sculpture, after the original was criticized as "frightening." Even the artist of the original statue, Dave Poulin, admitted to The Hollywood Reporter it was "by far" his "most unsettling sculpture."
Palmer spent nine months creating her six-foot-tall bronze sculpture of Ball. She researched the project by watching episodes of I Love Lucy, hiring models to pose in '50s-style dresses and buying a red wig as inspiration.
