Charo
Known in the ‘70s for: Her work on variety shows and in Las Vegas.
There seems to be no one in the decade with a personality greater than all-around entertainer Charo. She is a singer, actress, comedian, and flamenco guitarist. Charo started to be musically inclined at a very young age. She played the guitar when she was 9. Charo trained under the famous Andrés Segovia, and all her dedication became worth it.
The Spanish-American performer made her debut on American television in the mid-’60s in the variety show The Today Show before moving to Las Vegas at the peak of the ‘70s. She also established herself as a valuable investment by becoming one of its most-wanted headliners alongside other headliners of the time like Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, and Dean Martin. Her vibrant personality and skimpy stage outfits later got her parts in The Love Boat, Donny & Marie, and The Brady Bunch Variety spin-off.
