Rankin/Bass' Marco

With the discovery of the MARCO Animagic figures over the weekend, I dug out this rare press photo from my archives of Desi Arnaz, Jr. and fiancee Liza Minnelli. Arthur Rankin always told me about them dating on the set, but the press release said on July 15, 1972, they posed on the Kublai Khan palace set after announcing their engagement. I did some research and I think Liza divorced her first husband in 1974. The early 1970s were interesting times to say the least.
