   There is nothing like it when a Democrat gets busted for lying   
   about their make-believe world.   
      
   Charo is amused by the decades-long attempt by Boston-born   
   Hilaria Baldwin — née Hilary Hayword-Thomas — to allegedly pass   
   herself off as a Spaniard.   
      
   “I spend all my life trying to speak English like you,” Charo   
   told Page Six. “I hoped to [be] a sophisticated American and I   
   was born in Murcia, Spain, where they have a very strong   
   Castilian accent.”   
      
   “That’s Hilaria’s obsession, probably,” she continued. “I want   
   to speak the best English because after so many years in America   
   nobody knows what the hell I’m talking about.   
      
   “In the case of Hilaria, she must be [so] obsessed with   
   everything Spanish — the tradition, flamenco — that she really   
   went into that education and she managed to do it very well   
   indeed.”   
      
   Charo is ultimately a little perplexed, but bemused by the   
   accent scandal: “There’s nothing wrong if that makes her happy.   
   I think it’s funny. In my opinion, it’s just funny.”   
      
   And Baldwin has earned the respect of Charo — who has a grown   
   son Shel with late husband Kjell Rasten — for one other thing.   
      
   “I’m impressed that she has so many babies! When I was pregnant   
   I looked like a watermelon with high heels.”   
      
   Charo became a ubiquitous presence on television during the   
   1970s, aided by frequent appearances on Johnny Carson’s “Tonight   
   Show,” where she charmed with her heavy Spanish accent and the   
   catch-phrase “cuchi-cuchi.”   
      
   In the early days of the COVID pandemic, the “Love Boat” star   
   went viral with an adorable Instagram video posted advocating   
   for proper hand-washing techniques. Instead of counting seconds   
   with “Mississippi” — or, as Charo lovingly puts it,   
   “Missippippi” — she suggested switching to “cuchi-cuchi”   
   instead. She tells Page Six she’s kept up with her hand-washing   
   but is now “putting a lot of restore cream because my hands are   
   beginning to look like the Grand Canyon.”   
      
   The classically trained flamenco guitarist earned equal notice   
   for her voluptuous figure throughout her career, though she   
   swears that she hasn’t had any MeToo moments.   
      
   “Men like maracas,” she said bluntly. “I have big maracas but   
   nobody touches my maracas until I want it.”   
      
   Women, Charo stresses, “have to stick together” and “have a   
   solid education,” so “we go to bed because we want to and if we   
   find the guy hot and not because we have to and we are scared.”   
      
   The multi-hyphenate, whose real age appears to be something of a   
   mystery, is as cheery and vibrant as she was decades ago,   
   something she attributes to feeling forever fifteen.   
      
   And she has some sage advice for dealing with COVID-related   
   maladies like isolation and depression.   
      
   “It’s very important to be all together,” she says. “You have   
   two choices: Try to survive together or make it more dark than   
   it is. We are disconnected and it is very important to be   
   connected.”
