Born
Desi Arnaz played Ricky Ricardo in I Love Lucy, but his bigger legacy was behind the scenes. He insisted the show be filmed on 35mm with three cameras before a live audience, working with the cinematographer Karl Freund, and Desilu kept ownership of the films, which made reruns possible and set the sitcom production model still used today.
