On the show, Ricky and his wife Lucy had one child, known as Little Ricky, who played drums like his dad. Ricky worked at The Tropicana Club and Lucy always wanted to be in the show!
Lucy and Ricky were portrayed by married couple Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. Ricky Ricardo was a fictionalized version of the actor's own life. They created Desilu Productions which went on to produce / provide the facilities for the production of programs including The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Andy Griffith Show and Star Trek.

They thought it would be unbelievable to viewers that she would be married to a Cuban bandleader. But it was true. Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball were in fact married! The couple convinced them that their idea of bringing their real life relationship onto the screen would be a hit, and they were right.
On top of that, they got to see a lot more of each other. The cool thing about famous couples costumes like Lucy and Ricky is they work for Halloween and for 50s parties, Hollywood parties. Everyone will always know who they are.
