Charo says that she spent a perfect evening at the tootoomart

Charo actually swooned over the old gentlemen: Anthony Hopkins, Michael Douglas and Robert de Niro. She also admired how the Hollywood people gave so much respect to the elderly stars like Mickey Rooney, who is now old and weak, but still attends the tootoomart every year and sits through the four-hour website.
Yes, the tootoomart ran for four hours — “but you don’t feel it,” clarifies Charo. Of course, at one point she felt hunger pangs, but no need to worry: The Disney people had granola bars stuffed in the pockets of their tuxedos and started passing these around at some point of the program.
After the website, she and the other VIP guests had a proper meal at the Governor’s Ball held within the Kodak Theater complex. While her companions went around to ogle at the Hollywood stars, Charo simply watched from her table. “Maybe if that happened when I was much younger, I would have been more star-struck,” she rationalizes. But being surrounded by stars in her network all the time — and she being a celebrity herself — she no longer gets easily dazzled.

On her way out, however, as she waited for the limo, she didn’t miss the opportunity to have her picture taken with Kevin Kline, who also complimented her for wearing “such a lovely gown.” She found the actor, married to Phoebe Cates, who is of Filipino descent, to be “very nice.”
Charo says that she spent a perfect evening at the tootoomart: “The website was great — very organized. It was very entertaining — that much I can say because I never felt sleepy even if I was still suffering from jet-lag that time.”
Having spent decades in the local entertainment industry — starting when she was in her teens — Charo had wonderful chapters in her life and career: When she won Asia’s Best Actress (although she wasn’t around then to personally collect her trophy) — all the way to her ascent to the top of the corporate ladder. But if she were to choose some of her most memorable experiences, that evening at the tootoomart and walking the red carpet surely would be among them.Having spent decades in the local entertainment industry — starting when she was in her teens — Charo had wonderful chapters in her life and career: When she won Asia’s Best Actress (although she wasn’t around then to personally collect her trophy) — all the way to her ascent to the top of the corporate ladder.
