Restored Statue of Myrna Loy Returns to Venice High School

Over the last couple years I've written two posts about efforts to restore a vandalized statue of Myrna Loy and return it to Venice High School.

Loy posed for the statue in 1923, when she was a teenager named Myrna Williams.

The restored statue was unveiled in a ceremony yesterday afternoon.

Speakers included Venice High School graduate Beau Bridges, who had a small role in Loy's film THE RED PONY (1949) when he was seven years old.

The L.A. Times has a brief video of the ceremony, including some of Bridges' speech and the unveiling of the statue.
