Richard Keith, 72, Born In 1950 – I Love Lucy

Actor Richard Keith’s real name is Keith Thibodeaux, but he adopted the screen name because it was easier to pronounce. As a child star, he is best known as Little Ricky Ricardo in the comedy “I Love Lucy.” He also joined the show “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour” in the 1950s.

By the following decade, he joined the cast of “The Andy Griffith Show.” After starring as Steemson in “A Shadow in the Streets” in 1975, he resurrected in 2009 for “C Me Dance.” Unfortunately, Keith decided to work behind the scenes, and the last we heard was that he and his ballerina wife put up the Ballet Magnificat! Brazil in 2017.
