Cuba To-do:

"Despite the divorce, he continued to send Lucy flowers every year on their wedding anniversary, which was Nov. 30th. [June 19 was the date they were married in a church]. After their divorce, Lucille got into a nasty accident while making a film with Bob Hope. When Arnaz heard, he rode by horse from his ranch to the hospital to make sure that Ball was going to be okay. This should be an example of the love that Arnaz and Ball still shared."
Ya know, I would love to read one article in Wikipedia that held to the "NPOV" standards that wikipedia supposedly holds so high.
And no I have no interest in writing this article myself. There are plenty of people wo have devoted huge chunks of time to this stuff already.

I've removed the comment about Desi catching Lucy making out with another woman. It was unsourced, and in a situation like this, I think it should be removed until a citation can be found, if it even exists. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Giovanni539 (talk • contribs) 21:56, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
I support the removal of the comment as unsourced, but that is not what it said. Wanderer57 (talk) 04:47, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
I've heard Desi was a drinker, but never that he used any drugs as is stated in the article, but unsourced.I'm removing it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.127.191.14 (talk) 16:51, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

- As the tag says, the article is totally unsourced. If the unsourced statements are removed, the article has no words in it. Wanderer57 (talk) 17:04, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Is this really true?
"He died several months later on December 2, 1986, at age 69. Two days before, on what would have been his 46th anniversary to Lucille,(November 30) she telephoned him. They shared a few words, mostly 'I love you's. She said "Alright, honey. I'll talk to you later." She was, in fact, the last person to ever speak with Desi Arnaz."
According to this, he was totally alone for the last two days of his life. Does the reference really say this?

[edit] Shooting Blanks
I've removed the "blank shooting incident" from the later life section. The incident, in question, did not receive any publicity at the time that I can find, and is therefore, not a notable incident in Arnaz' life. This strikes me as tabloid material, unworthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia, per WP:NOT. Cleo123 (talk) 07:19, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
