Love Boat actress Charo goes makeup-free in rare sighting in Beverly Hills

Spanish actress Charo emerged for a rare sighting in Beverly Hills, California. 

The 73-year-old star, best known for her reoccurring role as April Lopez on The Love Boat between 1977 and 1984, looked cheerful as she stepped out for a stroll with her dog on Wednesday.

For the laid-back outing, the performer rocked her strawberry blonde tresses in a messy updo, oversized white sunglasses and a cashmere cable knit sweater.

She completed her casual look with a pair of blue sweatpants with white racing stripes down the side and a large beige shoulder bag with gold hardware. 

As she walked down the sidewalk, Charo gave onlookers a friendly thumbs up before making her way into the passenger seat of a car. 

Her latest sighting comes after she was forced to cancel a show at Al Ringling Theatre in Baraboo, Wisconsin due to a family emergency last month. 

Upon sharing the news to her Instagram followers on October 9, the singer apologized 'for any inconvenience' and clarified that she planned on rescheduling soon. 

In addition to acting and singing, Charo is a flamenco guitarist and comedian. 

The actress (born María Rosario Pilar Martínez Molina Baeza) was born in the city of Murcia, Spain. 

Charo appeared on 10 episodes of The Love Boat as well as cameos in Donny & Marie, The Brady Bunch Variety Hour and The Captain and Tennille.

In 2017, she competed on Dancing with the Stars. That same year, she appeared in Sharknado 5: Global Swarming.

She was previously married to 'Rumba King' Xavier Cugat, who was more than 40 years her senior. 

They wed in 1966, before calling it quits in 1978. 

She ultimately wed Kjell Rasten in 1978 after finalizing her divorce from Cugat. 

She and Rasten welcomed their son, Shel Joseph, in 1982.

In 2019, Rasten allegedly shot himself at their Beverly Hills home. 

Following his death, Charo revealed he had been suffering from a rare skin disease and battling depression as a side effect of his medications.
