"Used to think she was the Statue of Liberty with color": Fans React to the 1992 Face of Columbia Pictures

The logo of Columbia Pictures has come a long way since it was founded in 1924. From a female soldier holding a shield to the present-day torch lady, the logo has evolved with time. A few years after it became a subsidiary of Sony, Columbia Pictures found the new face of the logo's artwork.

Jenny Joseph became the face of Columbia Pictures in 1992. The 28-year-old woman was not a professional model or a television figure. It was, in fact, her first and last photoshoot.

Jenny modeled for Kathy Anderson and was approached by Michael Daes to shoot a reference for his digital version of the 'Torch Lady.' After going through several portfolios, Anderson extended the offer to Jenny Joseph, who worked with her for a local newspaper publication. Who would have thought a casual initiative could be a game-changer for Columbia Pictures' logo?

Recently, fans reacted hilariously to Jenny Joseph becoming the face of popular productions. Seems like many didn't know about her until the post appeared on their feed!

Fans React to the Face of the Infamous Columbia Pictures' Torch Lady

An X-user believed that she was the Statue of Liberty's colorized version. The resemblance was uncanny, and the torch in one hand added to the confusion. So, yes. Let's listen and not judge?

Do you see any difference? You can tell your grandkids that this was the original torch lady of our generation. If there was Pedro in 1992, Jenny Joseph wouldn't stand a chance to be the face of Universal Pictures, isn't it?

Don't let anyone affect your light! Protect your flame at all costs, even if it takes violent strategies. But again, if you don't protect yourself, who will? Maybe we should take life lessons from the Torch Lady.

This got to be the most iconic maternity photoshoot in history, right? So here's how the conversation might have been.

Jenny: Do you mind if I take a short break?

Kathy: Sure, but what's up?

Jenny: Oh, it's nothing. Just the little human inside me!

I thought her name was Columbia (via will_ustrator/X)

Of course, that is the most feasible thought. The face of Columbia Pictures should be named Columbia, or the production unit should have been named after the lady. But again, here we are, settling for Jenny!

It's never too late to learn, isn't it? Doesn't it feel amazing when social media platforms are used for knowledge acquisition purposes rather than consuming usual brain rot content?
