Background and production

Sondra Huxtable did not appear in the pilot episode of the show.[2] Sondra was created when Bill Cosby wanted the show to express the accomplishment of successfully raising a child (e.g. a college graduate).[3] Sabrina LeBeauf almost missed out on the role because she is only 10 years younger (b. 1958) than Phylicia Rashad (b. 1948), who played her mother in the series.[citation needed] Whitney Houston was in the running to be Sondra Huxtable.[4][5]

Reception

The character had been criticized for being too light skinned and not resembling the other cast members.[6]
