This is Desi Arnaz, the man behind the production of the historic comedy. He's 3 of the Latins whom I admire most, besides Antonio Banderas and Andy Garcia. Although he spoke with a funny (Cuban) accent, his sense of humor was terrific, and that kinda helped spice up the show too!
Lucille Ball is my favorite comedienne of all time. She will always be remembered for her phenomenal performance in the long-running sitcom. She really makes me laugh till my belly aches!!! She's sensational!!! Even Fran Drescher (of The Nanny) imitates her trademark "Spider" look, ie. the surprised look with mouth wide open.
Romantic Shot 1. Lucy and Desi were actually married in real life!! This is one of the countless pics they took. Hmm...they sure look made for each other in this pic, don't they?
Romantic Shot 2. This is one of the most widely published promotional pics. I personally think they are the funniest TV couple.
Romantic Shot 3. They look glum and sad, don't they? This pic was secretly taken by a photographer while the then still single Lucy and Desi discussed whether to wed or not. Of course, they got married in the end.
Romantic Shot 4. Taken at the Academy Awards ceremony. By the way, Lucy had won many awards and nominations for herself. She is known as "The First Lady of Television".
This rare pic was taken by an anonymous photographer. In this particular episode, Lucy ends up having her candy-making colleague smear her face with chocolate. Playful Desi tries to lick off the chocolate off Lucy's face.
