There was some overlap between fact and fiction when it came to Ball and Arnaz's family. The I Love Lucy episode when Lucy gives birth to Little Ricky - later played by young drumming prodigy Keith Thibodeaux - aired on the same day that Lucille Ball had a Caesarian section to deliver Desi Arnaz Jr. It was all on purpose, Arnaz Jr. says.
Lucy gave birth to Ricky Ricardo, Jr. (AKA: Little Ricky) on January 19, 1953. Little Ricky is the Ricardos' only child. Ricky had minimal fame and success as an orchestra leader/performer prior to 1954, but in 1954, he was offered to audition for the lead role in a MGM film about Don Juan.
