Grace Kelly from To Catch A Thief, lounging back on sofa in her gown might be iconic enough too. I sure wouldn't mind GK in sculpt. Her feature IRL were like sculpted porcelain, so her image might translate well.
Fay Wray in a torn dress in a big ape palm would be iconic and fun to see- but then you would have to have her scared or screaming he head off, which might not be attitude for "frozen in time" moment.

Not saying it will happen but there's a chance a company like Infinite Statue will take the mantle to eventually produce Rita Hayworth, Grace Kelly, etc.
They've released some excellent statues from the Hollywood classic Golden Age era - i just picked up the B&W Casablanca Bogart and preordered the Ingrid Bergman.
I've seen some other good ones like James Dean from Rebel and John Wayne on a horse. But it's been mostly male actors so far. They are 1:6 scale so a smaller scale than Blitzway.

I would love Blitzway to do an I Love Lucy statue in her tweed suite holding the Vitameatavegamin bottle.

I ordered the Blitzway Basic Instinct Sharon Stone 1/4 statue from bbts, so I'm hoping they'll carry this.

While 'I Love Lucy' is firmly ingrained in the US popular culture, I'm afraid it lacks the worldwide iconicity that Blitzway looks for with their statues.
However, Italian-based Infinite Studio, mentioned by sabin23 above, might take it upon themselves to release such a piece in 1:6 scale. And so might Tweeterhead.

Isn’t the new Audrey prototype more screen accurate?
some people were explaining it, but I forget off hand what the details were.
I associate more with the original prototype too, which I believe is the blue outfit.

Wonder if they’ll make another Audrey statue from a different movie now.

Did anyone else see this video below on Youtube for the new Marilyn statue?
There's behind the scenes of the statue's photo shoot and there's discussion of the movie and statue.
I think they're speaking Korean but the whole video is subtitled in English. The channel is Wiki Figure - i don't think it's a promotional video from Blitzway but the tone is very positive. i posted this on Freaks too.

Nice find. Wiki Figure also has a review of a sample Audrey Hepburn, which I've just posted about on its thread,

I mean they did Basic Instinct. There is NO way Basic Instinct is more iconic than I Love Lucy.
I would love it if Tweeterhead released one. That would be an instant buy.
