I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody. -Bill Cosby, American actor and comedian
Bill Cosby (born July 12, 1937, Philadelphia, Pa.) is most famous for his role as Dr. Heathcliff Huxstable on NBC's The Cosby Show. Cosby's first acting assignment, in the espionage series I Spy (1965–68), made him the first black actor to perform in a starring dramatic role on network television. His portrayal of a black secret agent won him three Emmy Awards and helped to advance the status of African-Americans on television. Cosby's subsequent projects for television included the series of Bill Cosby Specials (1968–71, 1975), the situation comedy The Bill Cosby Show (1969–71), the variety show The New Bill Cosby Show (1972–73), and the successful cartoon Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids (1972–84, 1989).
The Cosby show, which appeared on NBC from 1984 to 1992, became one of the most popular situation comedies in television history. The Cosby Show depicted a stable, prosperous black family—Cosby's character was a doctor and his wife, Claire Huxstable,a lawyer—and avoided racial stereotypes. The show had broad cross-cultural appeal and won several major awards. After the show ended he starred in the series Cosby (1996–2000), in which his Cosby Show costar Phylicia Rashad again played his wife.Cosby was awarded a doctorate in education from the University of Massachusetts in 1977 and was inducted into the Television Hall of Fame in 1984. His comedy records earned him eight Grammy awards. In 1986 he wrote the best-selling book Fatherhood.
