1. 1. Desi Arnaz

   

   A compact, revealing life story of the Cuban-born musician and showman who rose from modest origins to help transform American television: it traces his childhood in Cuba, early musical success, immigration to the U.S., the passionate and tumultuous partnership and marriage with a comic star, their co-creation of a groundbreaking sitcom and Desilu Studios, his business savvy and production innovations (multi-camera shooting before live audiences, syndication), and the personal flaws—temper, infidelities, alcoholism—and professional ups and downs that complicated his legacy, concluding with an assessment of his lasting contributions to entertainment and the ambivalent remembrance of a charismatic but conflicted figure.
