Correct on Charlie and Clyte.  
#2 was the Cheshire Cat. In Lewis Carroll’s day (or, rather the Rev. Charles L. Dodgson’s), the town of Cheshire was famous for making cheese wheels with the face of a cat imprinted on it. Children delighted in eating away at the cat until only the smile remained.

DQ: Of American origin?

Can’t think of any individuals, but I remember Blue Oyster Cult had one of their symbol.  
Not Charo?  
Not Chris Pratt, although that’s the actor, not the character, depending on what you had in mind.
