If he were alive today do you think he would be married or single?

Semi retired or fully retired?

Still in love with Lucy?

Living with Lucy happily ever after

I think he would be fully retired, married to Edie (if she were still alive).

*sniff*

Desi, Desi, Desi...

Fran=Lucy · 03-21-2004, 03:33 PM

Well, I think he would be semi-retired, maybe writing more books about him or the show i guess..hehe..OH! and of course, very much in love with Lucy.

He was gonna write the second part to' A BOOK' but sadly his health was failing and his memory wasn't sharp anymore

Fran=Lucy · 03-21-2004, 04:36 PM

Yeah, I read somewhere that he wanted to do a follow-up book called "Another Book" but didn't do it...and wow, I didn't know that he couldn't write it because he was feeling sick! Now, that makes me really sad.

lucyrules · 03-21-2004, 09:00 PM

I think Desi would still be married to Edie, He would be semi- retired, and definitely in love with Lucy.

I wonder what he would have done if he was alive when Lucy died.

SPLAIN · 03-22-2004, 10:23 AM

Yup, i agree, but he'd be very sick by this age though, after all that smoking, and those Cuban cigars. He was a great human being, father, visionary in producing, in shor a great man. I too wish to remember him as a man who would still be missing and loving Lucy.

I still wonder why they thought about doing a follow-up to his first book, because one of the reasons they ended "A Book" were they did -- with the end of his marriage to Lucy -- was because they felt that the rest of his life was just too depressing, so they cut the end out. Having known that, why would they want to do another book that resumed after the divorce when his life was depressing? It doesn't make much sense.

Awww poor Desi!

I wish Desi and Lucy could have had a happier ending!

SPLAIN · 03-22-2004, 02:32 PM

A Book, sold well, hence the mentions of a sequel. Like Lucy, every fan wants an update on their later lives, but it's always glossed over as uninteresting, but not to us! He went through such hell just doing the first part, i agree that it would not have been possible to remember the rest, which wasn't clearly documented, but at least some people were still around, who could have helped, which was not the case on the first book. I remember one time his calling Lucy and asking why she had divorced him in 1944. You'd think he'd know the answer to that one. Lucy replied, WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU BRING THAT UP NOW AND BESIDES IT WAS THE SHORTEST DIVORCE ON RECORD . . . you were sc****** every woman, bingo girl and Copa girl at Birmingham hospital, and what hurt the most is that it was I who was supplying them to you.

crazyredhead · 03-22-2004, 05:07 PM

Yeah, I laughed when I read that. I can't believe he called her then and asked that!

SPLAIN · 03-23-2004, 10:59 AM

Yeah, LOL! I think the spression is putting OIL on the FIRE< LOL!

Well the Lucy Desi Home movie comes to mind. If they both came back, (which we all know is kinda of fantasmal), But I would have no doubt that Lucy would want to be with Desi. ABSOLUTLY NO DOUBT in my mind. She loved him, He loved her, Maybe things he did were not right, but their love for eachother was Intense and tenacious and you could ask everyone they ever knew about that.

Maybe somewhere right now, they are leading some conga line (could you picture them at THEIR AGE doing this?) and loving on eachother like it is going out of style.
