Replacement was much better. I've been blessed to visit Lucy's hometown twice (the replacement statue had long been there by the first time i went thankfully) and the new statue is actually where the old one was at the Lucille Ball Memorial Park. but couldn't agree more the replacement is much better. my mom took this photo but this was from my first trip to Lucy's hometown. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She never forgot those days when they were both struggling young actresses. Therefore, Lucy used Ms. Pepper in countless episodes of I Love Lucy.. In fact, she was at one time being considered for the part of Ethel Mertz, but it was decided against that, since Barbara had a drinking problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
