演员 制片人
Desi Arnaz Jr. has lived in Boulder City, Nevada, since 1986, where he
owns the Historic Boulder Theatre and helps direct non-profit Boulder
City Ballet Company (BCBC) with his wife,
Amy Arnaz. Boulder Theatre was built in 1932
during the construction of Hoover Dam and operated as a movie theatre
until it could no longer compete with the new, modern movie theaters in
Las Vegas. When it closed, Desi purchased the theatre and converted it
into a live theatre where BCBC performs and where Desi has produced
many shows including: "Ricci, Desi & Billy" (a new version of Dino,
Desi & Billy), "An Evening with Linda Purl", Torme' Sings Torme', "The
Legacy of Laughter", "An Evening with Lucille Ball" (starring
Suzanne LaRusch as
Lucille Ball), Michael Johnson, "A Tribute
to Dean Martin" (by Ricci Martin), "Dam
Short Film Festival", "Chautauqua", "The Nutcracker", "Sleeping
Beauty", "Swan Lake", annual children's dance recitals from Dance Etc.
and many more shows. Haley Arnaz is his
wife's child from her first marriage and Desi adopted her when they
married in 1987. Desi also has an older daughter, Julia, who lives on
the east coast. Recently, Desi has performed "Babalu" (a show dedicated
to the music of his father) with his sister
Lucie Arnaz in NYC, Miami and in Washington
D.C. at the Library of Congress. Most recently, Desi & Lucie appeared
at the Paley Center in Beverly Hills, discussing the music of
I Love Lucy (1951) and performed
two of their father's songs - "Old Straw Hat" & "Cuban Pete" - with the
accompaniment of Ron Abel on the piano.
