Another Seward Johnson statue is exhibited in Simsbury, in front of Metro Bis Restaurant and Bistro.
"Forever Marilyn" is taken from an image of Marilyn Monroe in the Billy Wilder Film, The Seven Year Itch. It might be the way most of my generation remembers her.
The original HUGE version of Forever Marilyn is in Palm Springs.
I saw it a few years ago in New Jersey in a sculpture garden devoted to Johnson's work, and I have seen another life-sized version like this one in Key West.

And forever young. A sad thing that she went the way she did.
What a fun thing to come upon when rounding the bushes!
What an iconic statue honoring Marilyn. Such fun to see it displayed. Johnson's work is wonderful.
Even more generations remember her for that image.
