Sculptor plans to replace 'Scary Lucy' with a free statue

In an August 2012 photo, a bronze sculpture of Lucille Ball is displayed in Lucille Ball Memorial Park in the village of Celoron, N.Y., in her hometown. Since the sculpture was unveiled in 2009, the statue has been blasted by critics who say it bears little or no likeness to the popular 1950s sitcom actress and comedian. Village officials say they want the sculptor to fix it for free, but the artist wants as much as $10,000 to alter the statue. The village has started a fundraising effort to pay for the sculpture's makeover. (AP Photo/The Post-Journal) BUFFALO OUT CELORON, N.Y.
