Befitting for the communist that she was.

Lucille Ball’s hometown, just outside Jamestown in western New York, erected a life-size statue to honor the beloved actress — but now it has some explaining to do.
Many take issue with the sculptor’s unflattering depiction of the “I Love Lucy” star.
A self-described “big fan of Lucy’s” from Jamestown thinks the statue needs to be replaced with one befitting the comedy legend.
“Lucille Ball was not only an amazing comedienne, but she was a stunning beauty. Her sense of humor only made her more beautiful,” he said in an interview with Yahoo News. “This statue looks nothing like the beautiful Lucy we all know. If for no other reason than that... the statue should go.”
The Jamestown man, who wishes to remain anonymous, started a Facebook page titled We Love Lucy! Get Rid of this Statue.

Maybe the sculptor was a Burns and Allen fan.
Befitting for the communist that she was.
What a POS.They paid this sculptor for this?
I have a new career and hope for the future.
(SHUDDER) That looks like a statue I could create. And I failed art class in school.
Didn’t even get the earlobes right. Statue lobes are attached, hers aren’t. It looks like those cross dresser Lucys in the Rat Race movie.

There are a number of Lucy statues, none of them appear to be any good at all.

>>>I read that it was her grandfather who was a Commie. Lucy registered as one to please him.<<<
It is reported that she allowed her property to be used regularly by a communist organization and was very supportive of them.

“Within a few days after my third application to join the Communist Party was made, I received a notice to attend a meeting on North Ogden Drive, Hollywood; although it was a typed, unsigned note, merely requesting my presence at the address at 8 o’clock in the evening on a given day, I knew it was the long-awaited notice to attend Communist Party new members classes ... on arrival at this address I found several others present; an elderly man informed us that we were the guests of the screen actress, Lucille Ball, and showed us various pictures, books and other objects to establish that fact, and stated she was glad to loan her home for a Communist Party new members class.”
“Do you pop out at parties, are you unpoopular?”
That line cracks me up every single time I hear it.
One of the funniest shows was where she disguised herself as an Oriental male. And even there, one could argue, she looked better than in that statue.
If some actor or actress joined the Klan to please gran’pap, would the public be as forgiving?
Agree on both points.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."
Mission accomplished. Hideous statue.
Just get word out that it’s a statue of Mohammad and let the Muzzies pull it down. They’ve got pulling statues down to a fine art form.
