An 18-inch-tall bronze statue of television legend Ed Sullivan that was stolen last weekend from a pedestal at the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences’ Hall of Fame Plaza was recovered yesterday in good condition.
The statue was recovered by detectives from the Los Angeles PoliceDepartment’s North Hollywood station, but no other details were immediately
released. Police said the investigation into the theft was continuing.
The statue was taken Saturday night or Sunday morning from the academy’s exhibit in the 5200 block of Lankershim Boulevard, according to police. The solid bronze carving, which weighs about 20 pounds and is valued at about $45,000, was part of an exhibit that includes statues of various television luminaries.
