Gender:
Female
Born:
3-13-1941

Murcia, Spain
Birth Name:
Maria Rosario Pilar Martinez Molina Baeza
When Charo was quite young, she was discovered by famous musician Xavier Cugat, whom she later married on August 7, 1966, at the reported age of 15; Cugat was 66.

The couple were the first to have their nuptials in Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas.

In 1977, she became a naturalized citizen of the United States.

On August 11, 1978 she re-married, this time to her manager Kjell Rasten, in Lake Tahoe. In 1982 she bore her only child, a son, Shel Rasten (who is a drummer with the metal band Treazen) and decided to move to Hawaii, where she regularly





More performed at the Outrigger Hotel and waited on customers at her restaurant on the island of Kauai.

Charo waited for her son to grow up before returning to Los Angeles to get back into show business full time.

Charo studied classical and flamenco guitar while residing in Murcia. As a result of her training and skill she has been named "Best Flamenco Guitarist" in Guitar Player Magazine's readers' poll. She now has a regular touring show in addition to appearances in Las Vegas shows regularly. One of Charo's regrets is that, because of her flamboyant stage presence, she has been overlooked as a guitar player.

She also donates her talents to Jerry Lewis' annual MDA telethon.

    Charo is a very talented musician. hide show

    From what I have heard, Charo is very talented in what she has done. I have not heard any of her music but she's been around forever and has much experience. I can not say if she is a good actress because I have not seen Love Boat. I only saw her on the reality show "Surreal Life" and let me tell you, she is very funny. She has a heavy accent though and sometimes it is hard to understand her. I also heard her shows always sell out ans she must have a wide variety of fans if she has been around for along time. Maybe one day I can get to see her perform and tell you if it was good or not.
