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. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

desilufan2 32 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

desilufan2 32 Report post 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'? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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!

vivfantoo* 129 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meiline 5 Report post 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leenorman 504 Report post Posted December 2, 2015 Sadly, today I had to write a note: "Desi dies"....and realized the letters say the same Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
