During our tour of Palm Springs, located a beautiful bronze sculpture (100 N. Palm Canyon Drive) of a young lady sitting on a park bench next to the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf shop. and across the street from the Palm Springs Art Museum. The lady is wearing old 1950 style clothing and she appears to be enjoying a day sitting in the sun. Unable to fathom who this statue was we asked other tourist for any information. We were told this statue was a memorial to Lucy Ricardo from the “I Love Lucy” television show. This life size statue was designed in 1995 by Emmanuil and Janet Snitkovsky. As a youngster I remember watching the “I Love Lucy” show and reruns as an Oldster. I remember Lucy Ball always being full of life and doing funny crazy things.

The Snitkovsky created a nice statue, where one can sit next to the individual and have your pictures taken. Unfortunately, they miss the spirt of a remarkable talented Lucy Ball. Not worth the time and effort to locate this statue. Disappointing.…

Overshadowed by a tree, still a neat thing to see when touring Palm Springs. Take a seat, take a pic!

Lucille Ball takes the whole place for sitting. Her face is in the shadow. There are foliage behind. The statue is of bronze. Many people like to sit with her. Worthwhile to see!
