Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz’s daughter Lucie, 73, hangs out with her brother Desi Jr., 71, in rare snap: ‘Our special guest’
Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz’s daughter Lucie Arnaz, 73, shared a rare photo of her brother Desi Arnaz, Jr., 71, on Instagram.
The siblings were in Las Vegas dining with friends in the carousel of photos.
In two of the photos, Lucie rests her head on her bearded brother’s shoulder as they enjoy a family dinner together, thanks to her husband Laurence Luckinbill’s son, Nick.
“With our special guest, my recalcitrant brother, Desi Arnaz, Jr.!!! Desi is alive and well my friends – she just likes to stay a little ‘undercover,'” Lucie wrote in her caption.
Desi has been retired from public life since the death of his wife Amy Arnaz in 2015. She had cancer and was only 63 years old.

She then talked about the reason for the trip to Las Vegas and the festivities.
‘We’re here for the weekend because Larry is being honored at the 35th anniversary celebration of Star Trek V at the Treksperts Convention here.
“He played Spock’s brother, Sybok, in that film. And with his recently released autobiography, he’s a very special guest here.”
Laurence played Spock’s brother in 1989’s Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.
“He will be taking pictures, selling and signing books and speaking on two panels,” she added.
She also shared photos from another dinner with her friends, Las Vegas entertainer Clint Holmes and his wife Kelly, as well as Maximillian Von Anhalt and Sunny Sessa.
‘I snuck over to Caesar’s and Joe’s Seafood to join the indomitable Sunny Sessa, her lover Max and our friends, Clint and Kelly Holmes, for more stimulating conversation and some naughty candy!!’
Lucie assured fans that her brother is “alive and well” and said he just wants to stay “a little bit undercover”
Desi has been inactive since the death of his wife Amy Arnaz in 2015, when she was diagnosed with cancer and was only 63 years old.
