The famous Myrna Loy sculpture, titled Fountain of Education, was sculpted in 1921 by high school art teacher Harry Fielding Winebrenner. He used a teenage student named Myrna Adele Williams as his model, years before she changed her name to Myrna Loy and became a Hollywood superstar
The original cement monument stood in front of Venice High School in Los Angeles for over 70 years and can be seen in the opening scenes of the 1978 movie Grease.
