Forever Marilyn Statue Returning to Palm Springs...Forever

From 2012 - 2014, Palm Springs was graced by the "Forever Marilyn" statue of Marilyn Monroe.  The 26 foot tall sculpture was then located at the, under-construction, downtown Palm Springs mall on Palm Canyon Drive.  The sculpture was very popular with tourists and locals alike, and from the day that it left, there's been talk of its return. A lot of people, myself included, felt that it belonged here due to Palm Springs connection to the Hollywood stars of her generation.  In addition, there are rumors that she was actually discovered, poolside, at Charles Farrell's Racquet Club compound. 

P.S. Resorts, a group of hotels aimed at promoting tourism, along with the city and others, worked to bring the statue back.  Construction of a new downtown Park will begin soon, and the sculpture will be installed there.  It will actually be located  by the Palm Springs Art Museum, which is very close to its original location. 

The larger-than-life sculpture depicts the actress in an iconic billowing-dress-in-the-air scene from the 1955 film, "The Seven Year Itch."  After it left Palm Springs, it toured other cities.  During its run, the statue evoked strong opinions, from those who loved it to those who hated it.  I was one of the former and look forward to her return in February, 2020.
