Born to a wealthy family, the Arnazes fled Cuba for Miami after a revolution in After working a number of odd jobs to help support the family, Desi got his first musician's gig as a guitarist for the Siboney Septet. It was such a hit, both locally and nationally, that Arnaz returned to New York to start his own band.
He was offered a role in the Broadway musical Too Many Girls and later starred in Hollywood's film version.
It was there that he met his future wife, Lucille Ball. They were married in During his two years in the service, he was responsible for entertaining the troops. He formed a new orchestra after being discharged and recorded several hits during the late s. During this time he served as orchestra leader on Bob Hope's radio show from to In , Arnaz turned his efforts to developing the hit television series I Love Lucy , which ran for six years and became the most successful television program in history.
Arnaz and Ball had a clear goal in mind when the series began development. Not only did they request the the show be shot on film as opposed to the cheaper kinescope, but they also retained full ownership of the program under their production company, Desilu Productions. The show aired in The show touched on many personal and taboo issues of the time, including marriage and pregnancy. And as a couple both on and off camera, Arnaz and Ball's show had parallels to their actual marriage, giving birth to their son on the show on the same day that Ball gave birth to their son in real life.
The novelty of the series, coupled with Arnaz and Ball's strong chemistry, proved to be a success. I Love Lucy became the No. The series ended in Arnaz's marriage to Ball ended in When we fail, the whole world knows about it.
On Lucille Ball : I loved her very much and, in my own and perhaps peculiar way, I will always love her. On Lucille Ball : She's not someone I am likely to forget.
I love her and will continue loving her till the day I die. On meeting Lucille Ball : I fell in love with those big beautiful blue eyes when I met her. It was unnatural how I could fall in love so fast. Lucy had a quality which was rare; you can count the women who have had it on the fingers of one hand. While doing the wild antics of a clown, disheveled, rain-soaked, disregarding how she looked even with mud all over her, could make you laugh, and yet at the same time make you want to go to bed with her.
One of the big reasons for the show's success is Lucy. She is the greatest. Lucy, she has no idea how happy she's made me. She's wonderful. I adore her with all of my heart. She's given me everything I could ask for.
No pun intended, I Love Lucy. We had been married for nine years, but when I saw her coming down the aisle with her bouquet and wedding dress and hat, I got as much of a thrill as the first time, perhaps even more. I love Lucy was never a title. I don't care what her present husband thinks, I still love Lucy. Yes very much. She knows that I will do anything for her. All she has to do is ask. Though we are not together anymore, I still love her. I always will. Lucy is my soulmate, my world. I can't imagine my life without her.
I Love Lucy was never just a title. They were gorgeous. Her eyes very blue. One of the many things I absolutely love about her. She was mine and I was hers. The way it should have been.
She's Lucille Ball a wonderful mother to our daughter, Lucie Desiree. In spite of a busy schedule, she arranges to have three days a week with Lucie. They took me along with the deal and I went to Hollywood. Working as the star of that picture was the most beautiful, wonderful, bright, happy person I'd ever met in my life, Lucille Ball.
And how you said it. It was love at first sight. The first time I saw Lucy was in Hollywood studio lunchroom. I was eager to meet her. Then she walked in. She had a black eye, frowzy hair and was wearing a too tight dress with a rip in it. She had been playing a dance hall floozy in a free for all fight scene. I groaned 'oh no. She was a dream. I took one look and fell in love.
She Lucille Ball was a very shy girl. She hated when you stared at her. So I did. The most important thing of all was that, we now had our daughter, our son, and two people couldn't have been more in love and happier than we were. I'm convinced that the reason that we survived the constant arguing, fighting and accusations for so many years, was because we had something extra special going for us.
We were very much in love with each other, and we were able to be together, our sexual relationship was heavenly. Also, and perhaps even more important. We had a good sense of humor. We are able to laugh at ourselves and at our sometimes absurd and stupid arguments. When we got married, nobody gave it more than two weeks. There were bets all over the country, with astronomical odds against us. View agent, publicist, legal and company contact details on IMDbPro.
