Desi Arnaz

The illustrious Wachowski dynasty is a creative force to be reckoned with. Led by siblings Lilly and Lana, the directors, writers, and producers have achieved impressive success with ground-breaking films such as The Matrix (1999) and Cloud Atlas (2012). Born to mother Lynne, a nurse, and father Ron, a businessman of Polish descent, the Wachowskis grew up in Chicago and formed a tight creative relationship with each other. With the 1995 script Assassins leading to a Warner Bros. contract, the duo has devoted themselves to their craft. The family is also connected to Gary Morton, a comedian who worked the famed "Borscht Belt" of resorts in the Catskills Mountains, and Lucille Ball, the famous redhead and star of the classic show I Love Lucy. Desiderio Alberto Arnaz y de Acha III, Lucille's husband, was born in Santiago, Cuba and was mayor of Santiago before fleeing to the United States after the 1933 revolution. His son, Desi Arnaz Jr., has owned the Historic Boulder Theatre and Boulder City Ballet Company in Boulder City, Nevada since 1986. Laurence Luckinbill, Lucille's second husband, is an actor and writer known for Star Trek V and Cocktail. The Wachowski dynasty is a distinguished family that has made their mark in the entertainment industry.
