    Desi Arnaz: The Man Who Invented Television
    Desi Arnaz’s story does not begin and end with I Love Lucy.

    By Donald Liebenson

    For readers of a certain age, the name Desi Arnaz probably conjures up an immediate association: his iconic role as Ricky Ricardo, the long-flustered husband of Lucy in I Love Lucy,

    But Arnaz’s story does not begin and end with Lucy. His extraordinary journey from Cuban refugee to self-made showman, movie star, TV trailblazer, and ultimately, entrepreneur and visionary could fill a book.

    Luckily for us, someone has written that book: Todd Purdum, whose revelatory biography, Desi Arnaz: The Man Who Invented Television, gives its subject long-overdue acknowledgement and appreciation. Arnaz spent much of his public life in the shadow of his wife, who in 1996 was named by TV Guide the greatest TV star of all time. He, early on, was derisively referred to as “Mr. Ball.”

  8. "Being the Ricardos 2" but it's Nicole Kidman as Lucille Ball as she argues with executives to save Star Trek during the day and sweeps the studio at night after Spock has gone home. You know it makes sense.

    The Great Bird of the Galaxy, Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, whose creation showed us what can be possible.

    If Gene is the father of Star Trek, then Lucille Ball is the Mother of Star Trek. Ball was the head of a major studio & one of the most powerful women in Hollywood at the time. She agreed to produce Star Trek.

  11. I sometimes hold it half a sin
    To put in words the grief I feel;
    For words, like Nature, half reveal
    And half conceal the Soul within.
