I've attached some pictures that I found of Desi with Laurel & Hardy and several other celebrities during the 1940s. I found the first photo on eBay (link here) with the following description: "A rare candid photo of an all-star cast of Hollywood legends at the "Stars of the Hollywood Victory Caravan" hosted by Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt at the White House!!!" The second picture comes from a Laurel & Hardy fan site, and you can read more about it here. Lastly, I found an interesting video on YouTube called "The Autobiography of a Jeep," which is a short documentary featuring a very brief cameo from Desi, who can be seen seated in a Jeep with Laurel & Hardy right around the 7:16 mark, with Abbott & Costello appearing shortly thereafter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ff3rJTzi488

Thanks for posting the pictures, Bill. Before reading the caption I thought Cary Grant was Rod Serling!
