Will Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 http://books.google.com/books?id=4Xf4PP2KdNEC&pg=PA67&lpg=PA67&dq=%22Edie+Arnaz%22&source=bl&ots=WU_4Z0gKC5&sig=Mk6RArsstEARLKzYHRhVVnX9okU&hl=en&sa=X&ei=gzSUUYS_Ke_K0AHWoYC4CA&ved=0CC8Q6AEwATgK#v=onepage&q=%22Edie%20Arnaz%22&f=false On page 67 of this book you can see that 1/3 of A Book was not released because it was too depressing. I wish it would have been released to realistically picture what had happened in the 16 years since the divorce. I think Desi's life ended the worse of the four stars. Lucy had her depressing moments but died beloved by a shower of cards and well wishes and a standing ovation. Vivian had her quiet life and despite her cancer died optismtic. William got to enjoy My Three Sons and wasn't sick long before he died. However, drugs and drinking and lack of projects drained poor Desi.

desilufan2 Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 This really is sad. Desi was such a bright talented man. But his drinking prevented him from finishing many of his projects after I Love Lucy. Its the tragedy of alcholism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvsbway Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 I started at the link, was able to advance to the end of the chapter, and back to somewhere in the min 50's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desilufan2 Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 I started at the link, was able to advance to the end of the chapter, and back to somewhere in the min 50's. Ok. I could make it to the end chapter but much of the middle was "unavailable". So what was said about the mid 50'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Sorry the pages when I went backwards took me all the way to approx. Mid 50 page numbers. He starts a a movie analysis here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The book really looks interesting. Sad but interesting. The part about Desi keeping a list of Lucy's other lovers made me laugh. The man was so possesive of her!

Dizzy4Arnaz Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 OMG is that from 'Life on the Hyphen'? I got that book and had forgotten all about that. Chapter one is titled 'I Love Ricky'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivfantoo* Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Thanks for this link, Will. I saved it to read when I have more time. I remember reading Desi's book & hearing his voice & accent as I read . I wish he had lived long enough to write Part 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leenorman Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Let's not forget Desi has been gone 27 YEARS today; seems impossible it's been that many....RIP, Desi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annaleigh Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 RIP Desi Arnaz. Finally you are receiving the recognition you deserve. You will never be forgotten. Much love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meiline Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Thanks for sharing this, Will! I think it's very hard that some of those biographies will be published here in Brazil. I didn't know that the last days of Desi had been so sad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leenorman Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Sadly, today I had to write a note: "Desi dies"....and realized the letters say the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
