Comedian and musician Desi Arnaz, best known for his part on the beloved sitcom I Love Lucy, is being remembered on what would have been his 102nd birthday.
Arnaz served as an executive producer on the sitcom, which became one of the most successful TV shows in America.
He and Ball had two children together – a daughter named Lucie Arnaz and a son called Desi Arnaz Jr, who was born the same day his mother’s character gave birth to her fictional son, Little Ricky, on I Love Lucy.
Arnaz, who is the subject of a Google Doodle this Saturday, played Ricky Ricardo, Lucy’s husband in the cult American TV show.
