Great looking couple. She was an amazing talent. Maybe one day Desi will get the attention he deserves as a entrepreneur, producer and studio owner (DesiLu).

I come from a family of MALE comedy writers in NYC and now Hollywood. Back in the ‘70s, you couldn’t get one male comedy writer to admit she was funny. Because they believe (and still believe) that women can’t be funny.

But lately, one family member in particular, is finally admitting that not only was she funny but she was a comic genuis. Which she surely was. I think this writer is now seeing what Sandra Berhard, Margaret Cho and Rosie O’Donnell have wrought.

Desi Arnaz is woefully under-appreciated because in many ways, he was WAY ahead of his time in terms of production and ownership rights for TV shows. Remember, I Love Lucy was probably the first TV show to use three movie cameras are a recording medium, which allow DesiLu Productions to edit out gaffes and to give the show production quality more like a real movie.

Because it was shot on film, that's why we've been able to get really high-quality restorations of old episodes in recent years.

DesiLu Productions included shows like Star Trek. Fascinating! At least, for sci-fi buffs like me.

Desi invented the multi-camera shoot, still used on sitcom sets today.

Happy Birthday, Lucy!
