“I’ve lived and breathed every second of Lucy for the last nine months,” Palmer tells The Hollywood Reporter ahead of the unveiling Saturday (Aug. 6), which would have been Ball’s 105th birthday. Palmer’s statue is replacing a previous statue, which was nicknamed “Scary Lucy” and frightened residents so much they petitioned to get it removed.

Vast improvement.
Did they hang the last “artist”?
Lucille Ball was a beautiful woman…thank goodness they got it right this time. Who the heck did the first one???
“Rickyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy…” The new statue looks and sounds like Lucy.
first artist’s got some ‘splanin’ to do!! New one looks great!!
The hair and face, except for the lips, on the old one looks just like my uncle Donald. Lucy’s family should have sued that bastard for that butchery.
The “Scary Lucy” looks like Eleanor Roosevelt.
The scary Lucy looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Who the fuck was the artist? The same one who ‘corrected’ Ecco Homo?
Lucille Ball and Bob Hope in “Fancy Pants”…..Timeless…
As Liz Wecker said, Lucille Ball was a beautiful woman. she was a genius at comedy and a beautiful beautiful woman. I don’t know how that ugly statue survived one day.
The old one was Clint Howard in an Elvis wig.
Yay no one said they would hit Lucy 1
Can’t blame the artist they gave him a photo of Janet Reno by mistake.
I swear to God, I bet it was the sculptors’ pool guy.
(Greg Gutfeld didn’t have this commissioned did he? “Hey Carlos I need you in the grotto. And bring that Guy Fawkes mask.”)
Oh, now I get it. Lucy 1 was meant to represent Dr. Leakys’ ‘Lucy’. Little mix-up there.
Lucy 1 looks like a butch. Did they actually pay the artist his full commision?
That wasn’t Paulie Walnuts?
Scary Poppins.
Spoonful of sugar, my ass.
So where does it go now? The Island of Misfit Sculpture? Narnia? Mysteries At the Museum?
Eleanor Roosevelt?
Looks like I DID hit Lucy 1. 👿
