Back around 1990, this woman (his alleged daughter), who had an infant daughter by that point (Desi Jr's first grandchild) was trying to sue him or get him to acknowledge her. I don't know what ever came out of that. She was living around Boston area at that time, I think. Her mother claims she and Desi were dating for several months and she used to hang around the Here's Lucy set. How curious the "daughter's" name is "Desiree"!

Remember the whole scandal that Patty Duke was pregnant with Desi Jr.'s child? It ended up that he wasn't but it was one of the biggest rumors of its time.

Well, to be honest, the woman does bear a strong resemblance to Desi. And she has Lucille Ball cheekbones.

I read about that in one of the Lucy/Desi biographies (I don't remember which one). It was believed Desi Jr. was the father of baby Sean, and Lucy was so outraged by the whole thing she threatened to have Patty Duke charged with corrupting a minor. (Desi Jr. was only 17 at the time.) It turned out that the father was another guy, then Patty Duke married John Astin and he formally adopted Sean.

I remember this in one of Lucy's books and first heard of it when Patty came out with her book, Call Me Anna.

When I first heard of this rumor I was like, "WTH?" I couldn't imagine such a thing. But it was true they were seeing each other which is why it was believed he was the father.

Here are some pictures of her. Actually, her name is Julia Howe. Her mother, Susan Howe, claims she had a relationship with Desi Jr. for four years. Desiree is Julia's daughter. These pictures are from 1990 when Julia was 21 and Desiree was an infant. I've posted a picture of the infant, Desiree, at the bottom. Desiree would be close to 18 by now. Also at the bottom is a side-by-side picture of Julia at 21 in 1990, and a fairly recent photo of Katharine Desiree Luckinbill, daughter of Lucie Arnaz, at about the same age. So could they be cousins?
