The 26-foot tall statue towering above tourists in the middle of Chicago could only be one person - Marilyn Monroe. But that hasn't stopped workers, desperate to keep her identity a secret until tomorrow, placing a rather unsightly cloth bag over the poor girl's head, albeit it one in red, white and blue.
The statue, by artist Seward Johnson, replicates the actress's famous subway scene in 1955 film The Seven Year Itch and will be unveiled on Chicago's Pioneer Court tomorrow.
In the scene Monroe stands over a subway grate as a breeze from a train passing below blows her skirt over her panties. It was shot in New York but as the Windy City, Chicago seems like the second best location for such an art work.
