==Early life==
Born in [[El Seibo Province#Municipalities and municipal districts|Santa Lucía]],<ref name="BirthPlace" /> [[El Seibo Province|El Seibo]], to a Dominican father (of [[Russian people|Russian]], [[Serbs|Serbian]], [[Montenegrins|Montenegrin]], [[French people|French]] and [[Spaniards|Spanish]] ancestry)<ref name="InsDomGenlog">{{cite web |url=http://www.idg.org.do/capsulas/diciembre2010/diciembre20104.htm |title=Freddy Beras-Goico: In Memoriam (2 de 2) |accessdate=22 March 2011 |author=Milcíades Humberto Núñez Núñez |date=4 December 2010 |work=Cápsulas Genealógicas |publisher=Instituto Dominicano de Genealogía, INC. |location=Santo Domingo |language=Spanish }}</ref><ref name="Genealog">{{cite web|url=http://genforum.genealogy.com/goyco/messages/1.html |title= Goykovich Genealogy| accessdate=13 February 2013 |date=27 January 2000 |language= Spanish |last=Goyco |first=René }}</ref> and a Spaniard mother (an attorney from [[Asturias]] who found herself exiled during [[Francoist Spain|the regime]] of [[Francisco Franco]]). At an early age, her mother took her and her sister to Spain after breaking up with her father. She returned to the Dominican Republic after nearly ten years of living abroad, when her parents reconciled.

==Career==
Charytín moved to [[Puerto Rico]] in the 1970s. She met her husband, [[television]] actor and producer [[Elín Ortiz]] while he was visiting the Dominican Republic and he became her manager. He was recently divorced from Puerto Rican vedette [[Iris Chacón]]. Later Charytín and Ortiz started a relationship and married in 1974. During the 1970s, she began a weekly TV show on [[WAPA-TV]], which aired every Sunday night until 1985.

Charytín became an international superstar with her song ''Mosquita Muerta'', named after a character she played on a comedy section of her show, becoming a chart topper in places like [[Mexico]], [[Venezuela]], and [[Argentina]].

In 1974 she represented her country, the [[Dominican Republic in the OTI Festival|Dominican Republic]] in the [[OTI Festival 1974|third edition]] of the [[OTI Festival]] which was held in [[Acapulco]], [[Mexico|México]], in which she achieved for her country the fifth place with seven points. In 1979, she and Elín had their first son, [[Shalim Ortiz|Shalim]], who is now a singer and actor who has appeared on [[Lizzie McGuire]] and [[Alejandro Herrera (Heroes)|Heroes]].

In 1983, Charytín made a movie in [[Spanish language|Spanish]] named ''Prohibido Amar en Nueva York'' with Mexican actor [[Julio Alemán]]. (''Forbidden To Love in New York''). Two of the songs on that movie's soundtrack, ''Tu Vida Es Un Suspenso Hasta El Final'' & ''Para Llegar'', became another chart toppers for Charytín. In 1986, she and [[Iris Chacón]] acted together, alongside Dominican-Mexican actor [[Andrés García]] and Puerto Rican best selling singer, [[Yolandita Monge]], on a soap opera named ''Escandalo''. This [[telenovela]] did not enjoy much success and was cut by half by the producers. In 1988, she moved to [[Miami, Florida|Miami]] with Elin and Shalim, and in late 1989, she became pregnant again, giving birth in 1990 to twins, a boy (Alexander) and a girl (Sharinna) born at Pavia Hospital in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

During the early 1990s, she dedicated herself to raise her twins, taking them along on the few tours she did and her several trips to Puerto Rico. Late in the 1990s, she returned to television, hosting a show for a television shopping network. Additionally, she worked on commercials promoting [[Palmolive (brand)|Palmolive]] dish washing products for several years, most of which featured her twins.{{citation needed|date=August 2014}}

In 2002 she began hosting a celebrity gossip show, ''Escándalo TV'' along [[Marisa del Portillo]], [[Felipe Viel]] and [[Lilia Luciano]] for [[TeleFutura]].

On April 19, 2003, Charytín won the [[Association of Latin Entertainment Critics|Asociación de Cronistas de Espectáculos de Nueva York]]'s ''Premio Extraordinario ACE por Distinción y Mérito'' (''ACE Extraordinary Award for Distinction and Merit'') at its 35th Annual ACE Awards presentation.<ref>[http://www.latinaceawards.org/index-03.html ''35a Entrega Anual de Premios ACE 2003'' (''35th Annual Awards Presentation 2003'')] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070206163649/http://www.latinaceawards.org/index-03.html |date=2007-02-06 }}</ref>

She used to host a daily entertainment news show for [[Univisión]] Sister Station [[TeleFutura]]. This was a 2-hour gossip/entertainment show ''Escándalo TV'' (formerly "Escándalo en el Medio Dia", but later changed due to a similarly named program airing in Mexico by Televisa S.A.) In 2007, the Art Critics Association of the Dominican Republic recognized her work with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
Later on, she had a new TV show ,"CHARYTÍN", on Mega TV from Monday to Friday.
