Let’s all pause to celebrate the birthday of Maria Rosario Pilar Martinez Molina Baeza – better known as Spanish American flamenco guitarist, actress, singer, comedian, Las Vegas headliner, perennial “special guest star” on 1970s TV shows like The Brady Bunch Variety Hour, Donny & Marie, Love Boat and Fantasy Island, beloved kitsch icon and “Cuchi Cuchi Girl” Charo! Bear in mind the actual birth date of the birthday girl is shrouded in mystery. Charo’s Wikipedia page devotes an entire section to “Birth year controversy.” (Her Spanish birth certificate and passport state 13 March 1941, but weirdly her preferred “show biz birthday” is 15 January 1951 – so in theory we can celebrate Charo’s birthday twice a year!). Anyway, if you don’t follow her on Instagram already do yourself a favour - the woman is a joyous ray of sunshine! “Cuchi cuchi!” Pictured: pinup of Charo by Steve Schapiro, 1976.

Born on this day 93 years ago: effervescent actress, singer, Elvis Presley leading lady (in the 1960 Western Flaming Star), Las Vegas headliner, wiglet enthusiast and kitsch icon Barbara Eden (née Barbara Jean Morehead, 23 August 1931). As a kid growing up in rural Canada in the seventies, my imagination was thoroughly permeated with reruns of I Dream of Jeannie – originally on a black and white TV set!

“Jayne seemed happy being completely out of her mind, as this sort of extreme glamour person.”

The People’s Pervert John Waters encapsulating the appeal of his all-time favourite movie star, sex kitten-gone-berserk Queen Jayne Mansfield. Judging by her bouffant coiffure and the presence of her last boyfriend Sam Brody, this paparazzi shot dates from the end of Mansfield’s life.
