Gone...
On October 28, 1966, commuters between Malibu and the Valley were surprised by the image of a large, running depiction of a naked woman. Sixty feet tall, painted in pink house paint, she was quickly dubbed The Pink Lady.
At first, there was much speculation as to the artist and the purpose of such an image. Due to the subject matter, it was assumed to be a man. It turned out that this mysterious image was created by housewife and secretary, Lynn Seemayer, who had sketched her, unnoticed for 3 months before painting her in an 11 hour marathon of work.
She decided to do it for a number of reasons, one being that the tunnel was an eyesore, and that it was always covered in graffitti. Orginally, she planned to paint a bird, but this turned out not to be feasible, due to space constraints.
