That thing is just wrong.
After giving it some thought, I figured-out they were trying to memorialize the hilarious ‘Vitameatavegimen’ skit.
But at first I thought it was a badly sculpted Harpo Marx holding a pint of ‘Rebel Yell’.

Her beauty was on display in her early dramatic films. Like "The Dark Corner" from 1946.

I know one thing about you. It is wonderful that you call your mother, “Mother”. Times have changed haven’t they?

Here's the apparent model for the sculpture. The necklace and collar match, which is enough for me. The Youtube video was definitely squashed so I unsquashed it as best I could with MSpaint. I think it looks about right.

It's amazing how much different this looks compared to the sculpture. I must say though that she doesn't look very "pointy" in the video.

OMG, didnt know where that horrific statue pose came from till a FReeper posted the pic of Lucy and the cough syrup commercial .

Wonder if sculptor is same one who did statues at Kyle field in College Station TX. - “T#ts McGee” being the most infamous.

One would only hope the Lucille Ball sculptor, who must have been some town official’s nephew, wasn’t paid as much as the Thatcher sculptor.

Must have been an interesting marriage. Desi was pretty conservative.
