I feel a MAJOR problem was Desi's identification with his father - as intelligent, attractive and creative as his father was, Desi Sr was an addict: sex, booze and gambling. Desi Jr followed suit, but I don't think he was into gambling, but more into drugs of different kinds.
_Two of the most beautiful children, Desi Jr., and Lucy Arnaz, a by-product of love between the greatest comedy actress and her musician/actor/business mogul husband. Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz Sr. represented the most respected powerhouse television couple in America during the 1950s. I have watched every single episode of 'I Love Lucy', 'Here's Lucy(my favorite because it showcased her children as Craig and Kim Carter), 'The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour', and 'Life With Lucy'._
@Asshats Love Johnny Depp!! Johnny Depp Es Racista!! This Video is about Desi Arnaz, jr. Go to some other channel that has a Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard video to peddle your crap. 🙄 BTW, that tape was already gone over by both the plaintiff’s and defendant’s lawyers before it was entered as evidence in the trial. Your audio is bogus. Elaine and Rottenborn had plenty of time to object to entering it into evidence for the trial. They could have hired someone who could have the audio loudened BUT THEY DID NOT. The judge bent over backwards to appease her lawyers. Remember all those sidebars they had over the course of the trial? The Court allowed AH’s lawyers to enter those obviously staged and fake pictures. They could have hired audio experts to clean up the audios, but declined.
After I Love Lucy my next favorite of the Lucy series is The Lucy Show, then Here's Lucy. I have enjoyed many movies Lucille Ball was in - my favorites: Lured; A Dark Corner; The Big Street; Du Barry was a Lady, Fancy Pants; Facts of Life; Easy to Wed; Yours, Mine, Ours; Long, Long Trailer; Forever Darling; Mame. The last two were not rated highly but I really enjoyed both of them. I particularly like the two she was in with Henry Fonda (The Big Street and Yours, Mine and Ours).
Although celebrities can offer their children a lot in terms of opportunities: opening doors, meeting the right people and inheriting lots of money - there can be major drawbacks. However it is so good to hear that Desi Arnaz Jr had a good marriage, no longer drinks and takes drugs and is fulfilling himself creatively - while staying out of the spotlight. So sorry to hear that his wife tragically died of brain cancer and his granddaughter Julia Howe (changed her name to Julia Arnaz died at age 31 of breast cancer.)
Heartbreaking struggles? Excuses for his life choices. We all have struggles on individual life journey, though I suspect the absolute majority of people are without access to huge financial wealth.
Exactly, quite frankly Lucille Ball's early life was devastating - death of her beloved father before age 4, death of mgm and maternal aunt (with whom she lived and deeply loved) early on; also her mother was gone for weeks, months, even a year or two at a time in her early years. By the age of 15 or 16 Lucy went to NYC to earn a living for herself and hopefully to make money to send to her family. Very stressful times.
1:43 - this was his appearance on an episode of Rod Serling's Night Gallery with E.G. Marshall in 1971. He did really well. Eerily, it had a hint of what he was facing at the time. Similarly, a 1986 episode of Tales From the Darkside had Lorna Luft playing role that also had hints of what she faced as the daughter of Judy Garland. They really played the parts in their episodes very convincingly! They do have the talent, but ran into a nasty Hollywood.
Lucie Arnaz was 1 1/2 older than her brother and seemed to not have the same problems as her brother - she was a very effective person, both professionally and personally. I think Desi Jr problem was his identification with his father who was an addict: sex, booze and gambling -before marriage to Lucy during it and afterwards. I think it was harder for Desi Jr to find his own identity - Also, he made unfortunately choices from age 15 on. Fortunately he felt that The New Life Foundation saved his life, and I believe his continues to support that organization.
Back then all did drugs ,, way more then did not. And not these shit their doing today and ,,one I can think of the skin eating drug from russia,,who the hell says I've got to try that idk,,yet we got idiots addicted to it in America. It's called crock. I was shocked how stupid some people are. And dealers were not out to kill their clientele that's no way to run a business or to stay in business really I'd be looking towards someone keeping these cushy jobs with out saying a name but a government run agency with 3 letters. Out to keep their jobs.
At first I thought I saw mostly his Father's looks in him but at certain angles, I see Lucy in him! It's not that obvious but it's there. He got the bulk of his looks from his dad but I wouldn't say he looks just like him either. In certain photos he looks a lot like Desi Arnaz but mostly looks like he's unrelated to both his mother and father until you see a semblance of both depending on the angle.
Early on yes - but somehow early on he looked bloated and not attractive - at all. (Same with his father in the mid 1950's Desi Arnaz Sr. was young but looked much older than his years - too much boozing, got bloated and faced lined).
I do not think all actors are narcissists - lots use their fame and finances to support organizations. (Danny Thomas- St. Jude's Hospital for children with cancer for example; also look up the life of Myrna Loy, in years gone by, called the Queen of Hollywood - which she left completely during the height of her fame to support the war effort. (Also many other causes to help others - rather than enhance herself .)
Jesus Christ, who is the son of God in human form, died on the cross for the sins of every person. He was buried and rose again three days later. Eternal life is greater than anything on earth. it’s received by faith (trust) in Christ. John 6:47 Truly, truly, I say to you, he that believes in me has everlasting life. Turn away from sins and walk on the path of life ✝️
However, I did not hear Desi whining about mother as the daughter did - she said she felt so sorry for her father when the couple divorced - said it later in life when it was clear that the father's addictions brought on the divorce. She once said, lightly that her father always told her that his infidelities were overblown. To the contrary - they were minimized - this guy was really a sex addict, not just having some affairs on the side. While I thought he was a creative genius - the story of his sexual acting out turned my stomach; I really can't understand how his wife put up with him as long as she did.
While Desi Sr life was chaotic after the Cuban Revolution at age 16, he was brought up in luxury before that. It seemed like both his parents were lacking and narcissistic - father "dumped" the mother on Desi early on (he was 17) when he divorced her and married an American - people also commented that the father always seemed to want to have the attention - and did not grant it to his son; also his mother expected everything from Desi and seemed like she gave little back - almost treated him like a husband with all her expectations.
@@gardensofthegods That's what Americans say when they want to really hammer home their argument. They say it all the time. I was just trying to sound American.
@@Revelian1982 We Americans sometimes say “period” to hammer home a point. Menstruating can also be called a period. Please don’t ever say menstrual blood. That’s pretty funny though. Don’t delete your comment. Who knows who could use some humor out there.
@@redemptionhappens7725 Period! Exactly! Menstrual blood. Same thing. I don't get how I was wrong. If Americans are allowed to say it, why can't I? Pretty racist if some people can say it but I can't.
You forgot Sean Astin. He is Desi Arnaz Jr.s son with Patty Duke. But John Astin gave him his name and raised him. He looks just like his grandma Lucy, but I don't think she ever claimed him.
The boy Patty Duke had was not Desi's son - proved thru DNA testing years later. Lucille Ball figured it out beforehand saying it wasn't possible (dates she and Desi were together - turns out she was right).
Sean Astin was not Desi Arnaz Jrs son - as per a DNA test. Duke told Desi he was the father - Lucille Ball, said not possible according to dates - she turned out to be correct. However Sean said that Desi acted like his father and they remained close even after the DNA test proved otherwise.
What has been your favorite role by Desi Arnaz Jr?
Craig Carter.
On the Lucy show
…but the one who played Little Ricky ( Keith Thibodeaux ) later became one of his closest friends and taught Desi, Jr. how to play the drums !
I feel a MAJOR problem was Desi's identification with his father - as intelligent, attractive and creative as his father was, Desi Sr was an addict: sex, booze and gambling. Desi Jr followed suit, but I don't think he was into gambling, but more into drugs of different kinds.
Desi jr also sang with Dean Martin jr in a group called Dino,Desi and Billy. I believe it was in the late 60’s.
Yes you are correct . Billy Hinche was the Billy of the group
You forgot to mention that he was devastated about Dean Martin’s sons death which put him in a drug spiral before his marriage to Linda
Linda purl has been married 4 times and is dating Patrick Duffy who starred on the TV show, Dallas. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
I think Desi was into drugs before Dean Martin's son death.
One of the best uploads in quite a while. Thank you ☺️

Crazy how Desi Jr looks EXACTLY like his dad. They're practically twins.
Not that much
I don’t see the resemblance myself.
I believe he’s much better looking than his dad.
I LOVE LUCY❤️

such a cool guy who made stupid decisions about women and drugs

Did s great movie with Gregory peck,..two hats he was called Bully. Great movie
He was smoking hot in the 70s.
Celebrity children seem to go through hell
Wow
And I know Chuck Wagner all about him and poor chuck Wagner losing his friend aka Walter. I have automan tv show series
Cry me a river. Hard times,by choice.
Men of the 70s looked so hot.
It w#s the long hair that drew me to them my ex had hair a little longer then me when we married in 75 and mine wasn't that long middle of my back.

Too many impostors. That kid Ricky Jr. has too many problems being replaced. 👥
All actors are narcissists, being the child of such parents are bound to come with pitfalls.
