Charo's age is actually a point of controversy. Her naturalization papers have her birth date as March 13, 1941, but she told immigration officials that she was born in 1947. Then she changed it to 1949, before finally telling a court in 1977 that her birth date is actually 1951. Whatever the truth is, the Cuchi Cuchi has kept her young.
