Aside from acting, however, Desi Arnaz was also a musician, bandleader, comedian, and producer. While many people remember him for his acting, Arnaz actually began his career in music. As soon as he finished high school, he formed a band called the Siboney Septet, which grew quite popular in Miami, Florida. He was eventually hired by Xavier Cugat to tour in his band as a singer and a conga drum player. After he got a taste of stardom, he decided to form his own band; the Desi Arnaz Orchestra.
After the Desi Arnaz Orchestra became a hit, he appeared on Broadway, where he got his first taste of acting. He performed in the production Too Many Girls. The musical was a smashing success, and RKO Productions bought the rights to turn it into a movie. They cast Desi Arnaz in the film version, and he got to act alongside Lucille Ball. While working together, the two fell in love. They married on November 30th, 1940.
From there began a long and loving relationship. The two weren't just romantic partners; they also worked well as artistic partners. When Lucille Ball was encouraged to turn her popular radio series My Favorite Husband into a television show, she insisted that Desi Arnaz play her husband, so the two could spend more time together. Her request was granted, because the two had a natural onscreen chemistry.
While the two appeared to have the perfect marriage onscreen, however, it was far more turbulent in real life. Despite their passionate love for one another, there were quite a lot of problems with their marriage, and after two decades together, they eventually divorced.
