We can't have a conversation about statues without mentioning Myrna
(Loy) standing in front of Venice High School.
Here she is today.
(now in bronze)

I know that we've discussed Myrna's statue in the past but I happened upon a couple of photographs that we might have seen before.
Here she is before the 1933 earthquake.
The dude in front is a V.H.S. student named Doug Armstrong.
Amazingly, Myrna survived the earthquake!
..The school
, not so much.

But over the years Myrna's arms crumbled and were rearranged.
I'm not even going to mention the butt-ugly fence.

(s) is visible in this scene from the movie
Grease.

Myrna's statue was saved from further deterioration and eventually a new statue was made after the original design and cast in bronze. (return to top photo)
