Young Desi Photo - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I don't believe that it is Desi Arnaz. To me it looks like an old postcard, or a page out of a vintage magazine or catalog. But that is just me, and everyone is free to think/believe what they want.

It is titled A YOUNG DESI ARNAZ AT RESTAURANT and then it states this:

"This high-quality art print is expertly produced to capture the vivid color and exceptional detail of the original."

I can't find the original pic on the net.

It is a nice art print though, regardless.

Oh Irene, I think it is a nice art print for sure but unless I would see the original photo I have a hard time thinking it is Desi. I know Desi was thinner when he was younger than by the time ILL came on, but I always thought his face was rounder. If it is indeed Desi, I don't think the artist did a very good job.

I think the artist did his/her own rendition of what they saw. I mean, every artist is different and sometimes adds their own touch of how they see a picture. A la Picasso.

Wow! well thanx for all the info on that photo. It sure does not look like him, it just seems silly to re-image someone that way.

The more I look at it the less I think it's him. Someone needs to find a contact for Desi and Lucie and ask THEM if this is their Papa and just what was he "modelling" for in his late teens in Cuba. The suit?

Thanks for the info Irene. It would be interesting to see the original. Maybe the reason it doesn't look like him is the lack of original detail.
