Desi Arnaz's Appearance at Miami Beach's Rumba Casino, 1941
Ball continued her career in Hollywood, making twenty-eight more films between 1940 and 1951. She became known as "Queen of the B's" (the so-called "B movies" were usually lower-budget and shorter-duration than the top-billed films). Arnaz became an American citizen in 1943 and served in the U.S. Army Medical Corps for the remainder of World War II. After the war, he formed the Desi Arnaz Orchestra and toured extensively; for a time he was also featured as the musical director of Bob Hope's radio show, and he briefly hosted a musical radio program, Your Tropical Trip. |
