Desi Arnaz, the Cuban-born entertainer, broke conventions when he co-starred with his wife Lucille Ball in the TV show “I Love Lucy,” playing a prototypical American sitcom dad.

Correspondent Mo Rocca talks with Todd Purdum, author of a new biography, “Desi Arnaz: The Man Who Invented Television,” about Arnaz’s impact on American culture; and with Lucie Arnaz, who discusses her parents’ marriage and divorce, and her father’s extraordinary journey.
