Angeles, California. His older sister is actress Lucie Arnaz, who was
born in 1951.His birth was one of the most publicized in television
history. His parents were the stars of the television sitcom I Love
Lucy, and Ball's pregnancy was part of the storyline, which was
considered daring in 1952. The same day Ball gave birth to Desi Jr.,
the fictional Lucy Ricardo gave birth to "Little Ricky." As a
testament to how interested the American public was in Lucy's TV baby,
Arnaz appeared on the cover of the very first issue of TV Guide with
the headline "Lucy's $50,000,000 baby," because revenue from
advertising tie-ins was expected to top that mark.
