About the Character: "Lucy and Ricky Ricardo are fictional characters from the American television sitcom I Love Lucy, portrayed respectively by Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. The Ricardos also appear in The Lucy–Desi Comedy Hour, and Lucy also appears in one episode of The Ann Sothern Show.
Together, Lucy and Ricky serve as a double act. Ricky is the straight man, a character very similar to Arnaz himself; he is a Cuban-American bandleader whose trademark song is "Babalu". Red-haired Lucy is his wife, who always gets into trouble and is usually caught at it by Ricky. They have a son Ricky Ricardo, Jr., also called "Little Ricky", portrayed by child actor Richard Keith.
Lucy's full name (Lucille Esmeralda Ricardo née McGillicuddy) is given in the season 1 episodes "Fred and Ethel Fight" and "The Marriage License," and "The Passports" in season 5. Ricky gives his full name in the season 4 episode "Hollywood Anniversary" as Ricardo Alberto Fernando Ricardo y de Acha, but in the season 6 episode "Lucy Raises Tulips" Lucy calls him "Enrique Alberto Fernando Ricardo y de Acha III".
The marriage between Caucasian Lucy and Latino Ricky marked the first appearance of an interracial marriage on an American TV show; I Love Lucy debuted in 1951, sixteen years before Loving v. Virginia legalized all forms of interracial marriage in all 50 states." (
