Brock Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 There is a very nice portrait of Desi for sale on Ebay right now for somebody with deep pockets. The seller claims it was part of Desi's estate sale, as confirmed by Lucie, but I don't remember reading about any such sale. Anyone have a back story? Here's the portrait and auction: LINK: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Desi-Arnaz-of-I-Love-Lucy-Lucille-Ball-/300681868007?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item46020932e7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PuttyNose Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Desi looks way too feminine for me in that portrait! But I'm sure it'll appeal to someone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and he looks about fifteen or sixteen, probably done for his parents who were loaded at that time, before the revolution came. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I've seen the actual picture this is based off of and it was taken sometime around "Too Many Girls." He didn't look so much like a girl in the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 But he looks like a baby? Yeah, well, that's when Lucy was getting all hot for him. That's before he became an alcoholic and gained all that weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall her calling him BABY though and even commenting that he looked like one, Too Many Girls would have made him around 22 or 23 huh?

C L A U D E Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Yeah, thereabouts. You are so right about what you said, the curse of the beautiful people, they age badly and people or their fans are SO disapointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
