Charo's big personality and distinguishable accent as secured her a place in American pop culture and now she is getting her own reality show. The 64-year-old Spanish-born actress will be heading back to the small screen and bringing in her crazy family to give us an inside look of her daily life. "Charo In Charge" is a new reality show that is being produced by Televisa USA, with the title being a play on the classic sitcom "Charles In Charge." “We love Beverly Hills but I think we are the right family in the wrong neighborhood,” says Charo. “All we’re doing is cooking paella in the backyard on an open fire, with my son and his girlfriend and my nephew and his heavy metal friends, my randy dancers in the pool with my gay friends and me and my sister with my bull and my dogs. Why do they keep calling the police?”
"Charo In Charge" will also follow her son Shel Rasten who is an up-and-coming actor that loves writing and making music. Charo's sister Carmen will also be part of the series. She is the designer that creates all of Charo's costumes, but don't get on her bad side as she is a woman that will definitely speak her mind. Carmen's son Marco is a heavy metal guitarist who often hangs with his band and likes to party as well as go on dates that causes great trouble. Charo is no stranger to television as she made most of her career by being a guest on talk shows in the late 60s and 70s. Her lack of grasp of the English-language made her incredibly funny and fun to watch.
During this time she made "Cuchi Cuchi" a part of culture and guest starred on shows like "The Love Boat" and the "Brady Bunch" variety show spin-off. As far as reality programs go, she was part of the Season 3 cast of "The Surreal Life." That was the same season Flavor Flav and Brigitte Nielsen starred in, and you know all the string of crap shows they did after their stint in the celebrity house. Most recently, Charo made an appearance on "Celebrity Wife Swap" where she swapped with former "Love Boat" co-star Jill Whelan. As of now, no network has picked-up "Charo In Charge" to air, but let's hope someone gets on it quick because we can't wait to watch this show.
