* 1986 – Desi Arnaz, Cuban-born actor and band leader ( b. 1917 )

Desi Arnaz ( March 2, 1917 – December 2, 1986 ) was a Cuban-born American musician, actor and television producer.

While he gained international renown for leading a Latin music band, the Desi Arnaz Orchestra, he is best known for his role as Ricky Ricardo on the American TV series I Love Lucy, starring with Lucille Ball, to whom he was married at the time.

When he moved to the United States, Desi Arnaz turned to show business to support himself.

When Ball sold her share of Desilu to what became Paramount Television, Arnaz went on to form his own production company from the ashes of his share of Desilu, and with the newly formed Desi Arnaz Productions, he made The Mothers-In-Law ( at Desilu ) for United Artists Television and NBC, this ran for two seasons from 1967-68.

Arnaz and Ball's marriage ( 1940 ) was turbulent, and convinced that Arnaz was being unfaithful to her, and also because Desi came home drunk several times, Ball filed for divorce in September 1944, but returned to him before the interlocutory decree became final.

He and Ball are the parents of actress Lucie Arnaz ( born 1951 ) and actor Desi Arnaz, Jr. ( born 1953 ).

To promote his autobiography, A Book, on February 21, 1976, Arnaz served as a guest host on Saturday Night Live, with his son, Desi, Jr., also appearing.

Arnaz, Jr. played the drums and, supported by the SNL band, Desi sang both " Babalu " and another favorite from his dance band days, " Cuban Pete "; the arrangements were similar to the ones used on I Love Lucy.

Desi Arnaz has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame: one at 6327 Hollywood Boulevard for contributions to motion pictures, and one at 6220 Hollywood Boulevard for television.

There is a Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Center museum in Jamestown, New York ( birthplace of Lucille Ball ) and a Desi Arnaz Bandshell in Lucille Ball Memorial Park in Celoron, New York ( childhood home of Lucille Ball ).

Desi was survived by his children and his mother, Dolores, who died in 1988 at the age of 92.

Desilu Productions, jointly owned by Desi Arnaz and Ball during their marriage, was the production company for the Our Miss Brooks television show, which filmed during the same years as I Love Lucy.

She later co-starred with Kaye Ballard as her neighbor and in-law, Eve Hubbard, in the 1967 – 69 situation comedy The Mothers-in-Law, which was produced by Desi Arnaz after the dissolution of Desilu.

The Druk Desi was either a monk or a member of the laity — by the nineteenth century, usually the latter ; he was elected for a three-year term, initially by a monastic council and later by the State Council ( Lhengye Tshokdu ).

The State Council was a central administrative organ that included regional rulers, the shabdrung's chamberlains, and the Druk Desi.

For further continuity, the concept of multiple reincarnation of the first shabdrung — in the form of either his body, his speech, or his mind — was invoked by the Je Khenpo and the Druk Desi, both of whom wanted to retain the power they had accrued through the dual system of government.

During the first period of succession and further internal consolidation under the Druk Desi government, there was conflict with Tibet and Sikkim.

The Druk Desi petitioned Lhasa for assistance from the Panchen Lama, who was serving as regent for the youthful Dalai Lama.

Demands to the Druk Desi went unheeded, as he was alleged to be unaware of his frontier officials ' actions against Sikkim and Cooch Behar.

The dzongpon of Punakha — who had emerged victorious — had broken with the central government and set up a rival Druk Desi while the legitimate Druk Desi sought the protection of the ponlop of Paro and was later deposed.

Finally, in 1907, the fifty-fourth and last Druk Desi was forced to retire, and despite recognitions of subsequent reincarnations of Ngawang Namgyal, the shabdrung system came to an end.

In 1980, the government of Henck Arron was overthrown in a military coup led by Sergeant-Major Desi Bouterse.

This location was the palace of Sherab Wangchuck, the 13th Desi Druk.

In March 2011, a house in Northwood was used for the making of Bollywood Film Desi Boyz

He received Roman Catholic funeral rites four days later, with fellow entertainers including Desi Arnaz, Ernest Borgnine, Marty Allen, and Jack Carter in attendance, and was interred at Holy Cross Cemetery, Culver City.

Reportedly he was forced out of his car near Fort Zeelandia and shot in the head, with his body left outside the office of Desi Bouterse.

At the time, it was reported that Desi Arnaz, Jr. was his biological father.

Desi Arnaz, Jr. ( born Desiderio Alberto Arnaz IV ; January 19, 1953 ), is an American actor and musician and the son of entertainers Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz.

Desi Arnaz, Jr., was born in Los Angeles, California, on January 19, 1953.

Many of them spoke Indo-Aryan Prakrit vernacular languages, akin to Vedic Sanskrit, still some spoke Dravidian, Desi dialects. Thus the ancient of Konkani Prakrit was born as a confluence of the Indo-Aryan dialects while accepting many words from the Dravidian speech. Some linguists associate Shauraseni to be its progenitor whereas some call it Paisaci. The influence of Paisachi over Konkani can be proved from the findings of Dr. Taraporewala who, in his book Elements of Science of Languages, Calcutta University, he ascertains that Konkani shows many Dardic features which are found in present day Kashmiri language.

In some cases, if a famous person already has a suffix but does not use it professionally, and names a son after himself using the next suffix, the son may publicly be known as a " Jr ." despite this ; the most famous example is Desi Arnaz, Jr. ( who was born, in short, Desi Arnaz IV ), the son of bandleader, actor and producer Desi Arnaz III.
