Jean-Chrysostome Dolto is the son of the psychoanalyst and pediatrician Françoise Dolto^[3] (née Marette) (1908–1988) and the physiotherapist Boris Dolto (1899–1981), of Russian origin.

Carlos was heavily overweight and cultivated a jovial countenance, and adopted a look similar to the singer Antoine, with leis and Hawaiian shirts. In 1980, he became a spokesman for the Oasis brand fruit drink, with his song "Rosalie" (a cover of Georges Plonquitte [fr], singer for Typical Combo, a Guadeloupean group)^[4] being used in their television advertisements.^{[citation needed]}
