Early Life
Role in Castro Convertibles Bernadette became involved with the Castro Convertibles business at a very early age. As a 4-year-old child, Castro starred in the brand’s iconic television commercials that ran over 40,000 times, earning her the distinction of being the most televised child in America. With these commercials, and subsequent parodies of the commercials on shows such as “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson,” "The Jackie Gleason Show," and Milton Berle's "Texaco Star Theatre,” Bernadette catapulted her father Bernard’s innovative convertible couch to national fame by illustrating how the convertibles were “So easy to open, even a child can do it!” . At the age of twelve, Bernadette starred in the first live, color television commercial.
