About Me

Desilu Productions was a company jointly owned by American actors Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. The name is a portmanteau of their first names. It was home to such television series as Star Trek, The Andy Griffith Show, Mission: Impossible, The Untouchables, Mannix, The Lucy Show, and of course, I Love Lucy. The studio was named after Arnaz and Ball's ranch. The company was formed in 1951. For the first few years of "I Love Lucy," Desilu rented space at what is now the Hollywood Center Studios, on Santa Monica Blvd and Las Palmas Ave in Hollywood. As Desilu was a growing company, they soon outgrew their first space and bought their own studio on Cahuenga Boulevard in Hollywood, at the site of what is now the Ren-Mar rental studio; most of I Love Lucy was filmed there. In 1956, the company also bought the nearby RKO lot, and moved most of its facilities there.
