He is best remembered for his role as Ricky Ricardo on the American television series sitcom ''I Love Lucy'', starring with Lucille Ball, to whom he was married at the time. Arnaz was also internationally renowned for leading his Latin music band, the Desi Arnaz Orchestra. He and Ball are generally credited as the inventors of the rerun in connection with ''I Love Lucy''. ==Early life== Arnaz was born Desiderio Alberto Arnaz y de Acha, III, in Santiago de Cuba to Desiderio Alberto Arnaz II (March 8, 1894 – May 31, 1973) and his wife Dolores de Acha (April 2, 1896 – October 24, 1988).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dolores Acha de Socías (1896 - 1988) - Genealogy )〕 His father was Santiago's youngest mayor and also served in the Cuban House of Representatives. His maternal grandfather was Alberto de Acha, an executive at Bacardi Rum.〔Gjelten, Tom. ''Bacardi and the Long Fight for Cuba: The Biography of a Cause''. Viking Adult, 2008, p. 122 (footnote).〕 According to Arnaz, in his autobiography ''A Book'' (1976), the family owned three ranches, a palatial home, and a vacation mansion on a private island in Santiago Bay, Cuba. Following the 1933 Cuban Revolution, led by Fulgencio Batista, which overthrew President Gerardo Machado, Alberto Arnaz was jailed and all of his property was confiscated. He was released after six months when his brother-in-law Alberto de Acha intervened on his behalf.〔 The family then fled to Miami, where Desi attended St. Patrick Catholic High School. In the summer of 1934 he attended Saint Leo Prep〔Horgan, James J. (1990). ''Pioneer College: The Centennial History of Saint Leo College, Saint Leo Abbey, and Holy Name Priory''. Saint Leo College Press. p. 463.〕 (near Tampa) to help improve his English. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Desi Arnaz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
