Charo's Husband RIP

[quote]Charo who is 68

And I'm an ovum.

Regardless, good thoughts to Charo, camp queen extraordinaire and Friend to the Gays.

68! HA HA. She was 15 when she was Xavier Cugat's wife?

Sad.

I think the "1" before the "68" was unaccountably dropped in the reference to Charo's age.

[Quote]Official documents in her birthplace of Murcia, including her original Spanish passport and her naturalization papers, state that her birth date is March 13, 1941. After immigrating to the United States, Charo said that she was born in 1947, then changed it to 1949.

If I remember the news report at the time, Charo claimed that she upped her age, so that Xavier Cugat wouldn't get in trouble for bringing a child bride into the US. Much later on, she petitioned the court to have her "real" birthdate restored.

Likely a terminal illness.

The writer is clearly dyslexic

I can't even begin to imagine finding your lover dead from a self inflicted gun shot

What was on his iPod?

r3 for wit and wisdom

No more coochie coochie for him

Didn't Charo used to say things like I have "sex relatives" on Merv's show? I adored her and she played classical guitar beautifully.

LOL, R6!

Look, I feel sorry for Charo, no one should have to experience the suicide of a loved one, but there is no way in Hell that she is 68!

He was probably tied of listening to her.

68?

I thought Charo was a year older than CZJ.

r15, we are both 34.

Charo is 68 the way Bobby Trendy is 28

Here's Charo in 1971 on the Johnny Carson show. Does she look like 20 years old here??

I love Charo!

Truly, is there anyone MORE American than Charo Poor woman, I feel so sad for her, however old she might be!

How many years ago was Charo 68? 20 at least.

That's the trouble with lying about your age. When you're 30 trying to pass for 21, it sort of makes sense. But eventually you're 77 trying to pass for 68 and really, who the hell cares? Either way, you're old.

Poor husband. i wonder if it was like noted above -- a distressing diagnosis.

Met Charo roughly 20 years ago.

Eccentric? Yes. But one of the kindest, most genuine people you will ever come across. I was essentially a stranger to her and she runs over, hugs me, starts asking me if I'm thirsty, have I eaten, etc... She has this Earth Mother thing going on.

I wanted to laugh but then when she took the stage and played, I was completely enthralled.

Charo playing guitar. She studied under Andrés Segovia, one of Spain's foremost guitarists. She's truly talented.

Charo was 68 when the Beatles first played on the Ed Sullivan show.

What diagnosis r22?

14-year-old Charo on The Danny Kaye Show, 1965.

Her son Shel Rasten is a babe. This is very sad for cuchi coochi

A woman whom you CLAIM (rolls eyes) loses her husband by suicide in their home....and all you little vapid dick hounds can focus on is her age. Jesus, what's it like in your silly little stupid world?

Charo's age is a long-standing joke on DL and part of why we love her, sour cunt at r29.

[R27]

Her guitar may have been 14.

[R29]

Charo brought me water when I was hanging on a cross.

She was my babysitter.

R29, don't worry about Charo. She's praying right now with her Gutenberg Bible. It's was a gift from the printer.

Its such a messy way to go.

R13 it was a dyslexic typist, shoulda been 86.

Char is 68.

In dog years, Rose.

[R27]

Charo can be forgiven for looking twice her age in that clip. She was wearing her wig from the Roman Goddess B.C. collection.

Don't be cruel. Charo's nose is only 68, and her tits are 50.

Dyslexic. Guitar is 14. Tits are 50. Evil. . You are all evil.

That being said, I saw her as a grand marshall in a parade a few years ago. Open car. 1000 degrees. I was at tail end of her drive. Never missed a beat. Never let you see her sweat. Danced the entire time. Total pro. Everyone loved her.

Had no idea we've been afflicted by her antics for more than 50 years on TV. Like many, I applaud her musical talent but her coochie sexpot schtick was tired decades ago.

I was a little kid when introduced to her vowels and her sheets.

But, oh my gosh, when she picked up that guitar...

Love Boat put her on way too many times. No one wants to see the same actors over and over on that type of show.

Charo is breaking her silence on the death of her late husband, Kjell Rasten, revealing that he had suffered with a “rare and horrible” skin disease and had also become depressed.

She would look so much better without the Spaniel hairdo.

The skin disease sounds awful. Why prolong your own suffering?

Although I join in making fun of her fake age... I have to say that I have met her before and I agree with others who posted above that she is a very very nice person.

Charo’s hot son

She is lovely woman and her instagram is truly one of the most lovable and entertaining things out there. She knows exactly what she's doing. This has to be incredibly hard for her because she is so energetic and full of life at whatever age she is. He was apparently in decline. So sad.

I’ve worked w her. Couldn’t agreee more. She’s a sweetheart. Hardworking and fun. Generous. A fine musician. Adored her husband. So proud of her son. All around lovely.

Awe how sad. They were a handsome couple. He must have really struggled,and hopefully is at peace.

Yes, they dropped a zero off her true age, but so what? She was always so evervescent and a seriously talented guitarist. I’m sad that she was traumatized by the way he chose to end his life.

Loved having her over for brunch.

Hot son? Where? Big nose, enough makeup to create hollows in his cheeks.

The son looks pretty good to me. Let's see your pic R53.

Son seems like a melded version of his parents: pretty cute. Is that a big nose? It looks OK to me.

He had Bullous Pemphigoid which is truly awful. Your skin blisters all over your body. Poor man. RIP

R54 agree the son is cute. I apparently Ignored r53 at some time in the past, so didn't see its negative post here.

Coochie Coochie BLAM!

r27, she looks like a high school girl to me.

Lynda Carter, actually born in 51.

That's current? She looks great. Except I never liked her mouth, but that's another story.

Feliz Navi-blah!

I vanna vish eww uh meh-rry chreeth-muh...I vanna vish eww uh meh-rry chreeth-muh!

Sho shorry Scharo for your losh.

Bobby Trendy is 28 years old.....according to Bobby Trendy

Lovely woman. Sorry for her and her son's loss. Bummer.

Charo was the poor man's Dolly, but I don't know anyone who doesn't love her.
