You can tell from that pic that the Arnaz family really did have money back then. If that's really Desi you can see his grooming was good and so was his suit. That's a well-fitted suit. And it looks like he has a
straw fedora hat to match!

Ireneparalegal · 06-28-2008, 10:33 PM

Yes, the Arnaz family was loaded.

There is an excerpt from Desi's book where he mentions the Queen of Spain, in 1869, giving his great-great-grandfather a nice chunk of So. California land. Desi's great-great grandmother was named Ventura. Part of the land that was given to them included the area that is now called Ventura County. Ventura County is where I live.

It is amazing to know that I live on land that was once owned by the family of Desi Arnaz. A large part of what is now Los Angeles is also part of what they were given. Click on the link below and read that particular passage...click the word EXCERPT on the left to read it:

It is so nice to see you back on the bds. I missed you.

Madame X · 06-29-2008, 12:34 PM

Yes, Desi reeked of money in this photo. That is interesting about the land in So. Cal. Just think of the empire Desi could have built with all that land and his film industry know-how. Maybe Universal Studios would have been Desilu Studios instead, located in Arnaz City!

(Hi Rich, and thanks!)

Are you sure this is Desi? His facial features dont look the same, although similar. Pics I've seen in his younger days show he always had a slightly pudgy face. Not here.

Benno123 · 06-29-2008, 08:07 PM

Steverino, I agree with you. I'm not saying it is Desi, but I'm not saying it isn't as well. To me it looks like an old vintage postcard more than anything else. What is the source for this picture?

Madame X · 06-29-2008, 08:17 PM

Like I originally said, I never would have guessed this was Desi. The hands look like they could be his.

I found this by doing a Google image search for "young Desi Arnaz." It is listed as "Young Desi Arnaz at Restaurant" poster.

How can we find out for sure?

Ireneparalegal · 06-30-2008, 05:15 PM

Here is the source for that picture:

It is a recreation of a real picture which is probably why it may not seem like it is Desi but it is him indeed.

Desi was one handsome man indeed.

Madame X · 06-30-2008, 05:41 PM

I-

Thanks for the supporting information. I was starting to question whether or not that was really Desi.

Ireneparalegal · 06-30-2008, 05:45 PM

Anything for you my salt sister.

I know you know your ILL and don't have any doubts as to what you provide here.
