The Resemblance Is… Uncanny

Lucy’s hometown of Celoron, New York, is understandably proud of her. And as many towns do for celebrity citizens, they honored her with a statue in her likeness. The statue, created by artist Dave Poulin, depicts Lucy in her famous “Vitameatavegamin” performance. It sat on display beginning in 2009.

There’s just one problem. The statue was called “scary” and “nightmarish” by many people…. and it really was, even earning the nickname “Scary Lucy.” On August 6, 2016, which would have been Ball’s 105th birthday, a new statue was unveiled. The new one is a much closer resemblance.
