Desi Arnaz Jr. is a well-known American actor and singer. He was given the name Desiderio Alberto Arnaz IV when he was born on January 19, 1953. His parents are the famous actors Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball. On January 19, 1953, the actor Richard Keith (also known as Keith ThibodArnaz) was born at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, in the United States of America.
Arnaz’s older sister, the actress Lucie Arnaz, was born the same year, in 1951. When Arnaz was only 12 years old, he began his musical career as the drummer with Dino, Desi, and Billy. Billy Hinsche and Dean Paul Martin, son of Dean Martin, were the other two members of the trio.
In 1965, the band released two singles, “I’m a Fool” and “Not the Lovin’ Kind,” both of which were commercially successful. Patty Duke, who was 23, and Arnaz, who was just 17, began dating when they were both in their teens. He accompanied her to the 1970 Emmy Awards event, which Duke attended after winning the award for Outstanding Single Performance.
After it was reported in the tabloids, Arnaz’s mother became disapproving of their relationship, and Duke eventually became pregnant. Following the end of their relationship, writer and music producer Michael Tell made a marriage proposal to Duke as a means of escaping the scandal.
