Desi and Lucy during World War II

Wars really affect people.

Desi was so affected by war and by people who mocked him for being Mr Ball and Hollywood's picture boy.

"He's now blaming even me for the war," Lucille once said to her cousin Cleo.

She still loved him, but it was when Lucy filed for divorce. She chose California because it would take 1 year before the divorce was final and she hoped there would be chance for reconciliation.

Who knew Desi worked his way back so fast that it took only a few minutes? As soon as Lucille finished testifying in court, she rushed back into Desi's arms, thus voiding the divorce.

Love Letters

The only time Lucy and Desi ever wrote love letters was during their separation when Desi fought in World War II.

Lucy, sweetheart.

You have no idea how happy you’ve made me. Really and fully happy. You’re a wonderful baby and I adore you. I always trust you, baby. But I am jealous. I can’t deny that. - Desi.

My baby,

You called about an hour or so ago. I’m kind of lonesome tonight. Kinda lost again. Desi, darling, please, don’t worry about me. Believe me, I wouldn’t do anything to make you unhappy. If you’re going to do the right thing, (…), we have nothing to worry about. Please believe that.

All my love, forever and ever - Your wife

Instagram Pictures!

Here are some of my favorite pictures of Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball, and some of their fans have been requesting for these pictures, so there you go!

My personal favorite: Young Desi and Lucy, so obviously in love with each other and their adorable dogs.

 I suppose taking pictures during World War II was very important, because the wife would never know if her husband would ever return home. This picture is so poignant in a way, and endearing. It's also one of my personal favorites. The way Desi looks at Lucy... aw.

 Lucy looking fabulous in her 50s!

 Desilu Productions, with the president and vice president working with MGM to produce some awesome technicolor movies. Desi must have been so proud of Desilu Productions. For once, Desi's name came first, and Lucy didn't mind that at all. If you have noticed, I try my best to put Desi's name first when I discuss the both of them. No one gives him credit, and no one knows about it, but Desi Arnaz was really an intelligent man. He was great in business, scripts, everything!

 Another favorite picture of mine.

 

 More pictures to come, stay tuned!

I made this with the love letters Desi and Lucy wrote to each other during World War II. Those letters were so touching, and they were so in love.

Beautiful side view!

Dig that hairstyle! And she looks so youthful with no fringe! I have more photos of her many different poses!

What an adorable looking hat!

Here's Lucy, just before an I Love Lucy taping with Little Ricky in the hospital!

Here are more pictures of Desi Arnaz in uniform during World War II.

This picture is extremely rare!

The day he got his American citizenship was the proudest day in his life. Lucille said in her biography that once they were asked what they would take with them if a fire were to break out in their Chatsworth home. She was thinking of the jewelry, furs, dogs, cats and all other animals, but he answered without hesitation "my American citizenship papers!"
