The Spanish-born actress, singer, and Flamenco star, 74, rose to superstardom as a pop icon several decades ago with appearances on beloved shows like Laugh-In, Fantasy Island, The Love Boat, and The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. Known for her trademark phrase "cuchi-cuchi," the blonde beauty never previously opened up about the origin of the term... until now. In a new interview with Remind Magazine, Charo explains where she got the phrase, and it's safe to say that you'd never predict this one.
"My grandmother had a dog that she picked from some place that was going to let the dog die. He had broken something in his back. With a wheelbarrow, she went and picked up that dog and brought her to their farm. The dog healed the best he could, and they call it Cuchillo because he bites people that he doesn’t love. Cuchillo means knife. I love that dog. It was my people. But the dog, because he was damaged severely, he wiggled like this," she said, imitating the dog's wiggle. "I’m not kidding you. I copy him and I said to people, my uncle and everybody, 'Cuchi-cuchi-cuchi-cuchi-cuchi-cuchi!' Every time I say that, they give me money. I became a rich b--ch at the age of three and four."

Charo is re-releasing her 1977 LP Cuchi-Cuchi with five additional tracks. It's available on vinyl for the first time since its original release. The singer says her favorite song on the album is “Dance a Little Bit Closer,” according to the interview.
"Well, I got a disease called 'Ants in my Pants.' I got to move. I got a big project. I want to have a real podcast. They’re going to hate me, but I got to help people with the right food to eat. What they should do, education, dedicated time to teach the young. I feel so sorry for Generation Z. They’re lost. They are missing their root. They have their hunger to know the truth, accept the love, and accept that there are people who are ready to help them," she shared.
Charo is a Social Media Sensation
"Hola Amigos I Want To Share with You How To Survive a Crazy Monday. I Hope You Like It. I Love you All Mucho, Mucho, Mucho. Have a Great Week. Besos," she shared on Monday, along with a video of herself eating a delicious cake drenched in chocolate. Hey, it doesn't sound like that bad of an idea!
