Who was Mari Cruz Aurora Aguirre?
Aguirre, a native of Montemorelos, Mexico, was the Clark family’s longtime nanny who raised Clark and worked for the family for four generations. Being practically related, Clark and Aguirre had a tight bond.
The biography on the dealership’s website reads, “Even though Mrs. Aguirre was married to her husband Amado and had a daughter of their own, she would eventually love Charlie to the point where she would consider him as her own son and he as a mother.” This connection turned into a mainstay of a sales campaign the company ran to sell cars to the Latino community.
“Charlie even used his cherished Nana in his marketing campaigns, occasionally imitating appropriate comedic elements from Hollywood films like Rocky. In which Charlie and Nana imitate Sylvester Stallone and his wife in the film Rocky by playing the roles of boxer and trainer, respectively.
“Charlie Clark Nissan Harlingen would find rapid success after partnering with the Latino community, and they would never look back.”
Aguirre, who was petite and had a grandmotherly appearance, appeared in many of these advertisements, humorously threatening to “pau pau” Clark in to emphasize that the business would uphold its pledges with a spanking or chancla.
