Fans and friends were on hand for the unveiling of original artwork by UK famed street artist, PEGASUS (aka James X), as he made his American Debute. Among those in attendance were Barry Livingston and Ruta Lee of "The Lucy Show," who were on hand to pay homage to their former colleague, Queen of comedy - Lucille Ball, while TV Film actor/Fitness Expert and Body Builder, Roland Kickinger, was admittedly there for dream girl, Marilyn Monroe and film siren, Bette Davis, whom Hollywood Producer Jackie Goldberg (aka The Pink Lady)
Recently making headlines with his tribute to HRH Queen Elizabeth ... In a seductive and partially nude depiction (attached) ... to celebrate her record breaking reign, PEGASUS, expressed his joy at knowing he was now officially part of The Hollywood Museum and its dedication to the legacy of Hollywood history.
Donelle Dadigan (Founder and President of The Hollywood Museum) has decided to display the renditions of these industry legends in Max Factor tradition, by utilizing his famous original studios - Marilyn in the Blonds Room (Where she became a blond), Lucy in the Red Heads Room (Where she became a red head) and Bette in the Brunette's Room (Where she was regular visitor). Ms. Dadigan remarked, "There is a great sense of pride to know that the Hollywood Museum's reputation has now reached beyond the boarders of the United States. We are now receiving inquiries and offers from respected organizations and individuals around the world, that share our love and respect for Hollywood history. It is somehow appropriate that PEGASUS' classic and iconic depictions of legends such as Marilyn Monroe, Bette Davis and Lucille Ball have found a home in The Hollywood Museum's archives, as all three women were regular patrons of Max Factor and his studios, in the same building that he defined their beauty."
As part of the evening's festivities, the patrons celebrated the artist's birthday with food, wine and, of course, cake. When asked "What's next?" PEGASUS announced, "I am working on a Kim Kardashian piece, for a yet to be announced event."
