BILL AND BEAUTIFUL WOMEN
I was disappointed that Bill never became my mentor. I have heard many stories of Bill’s generosity, of his taking time to offer advice and council. I wish I had one of those stories. However, it was interesting that...
BILL AND MY SENSE OF SMELL
I have a theory that most people’s B.S. detectors are accurate. I have come to the conclusion that there would be far less disappointment in the world if all of us trusted our noses around bullshit. I know for...
MY LAST CONVERSATION WITH BILL
I will never forget my last conversation with Bill; it was the last time I saw him. Over the years, I have thought about that brief interaction. I wish it had come sooner. I wish it had played out...
ON THE SET WITH BILL
Being on the set with Bill was always an adventure. Bill’s genius as an actor and a comedian was why I was so very nervous, when in December of my first season, the writers had Martin spending the entire...
WORKING WITH A GENIUS
Bill Cosby is a Genius. He is also a very funny fellow! That is usually my response when asked what it was like working with Bill. There really is no other way to put it: Working on the show...

ABSOLUTE SCRUBBINESS

TEMPESTT AND HER F-ING HORMONES!
The only cast member I had friction with was Tempestt Bledsoe, (Vanessa). The cast of the Cosby Show was a family knit as tightly as one of Cliff Huxtable’s famous sweaters. There was no way that I was just...
WELCOME TO THE HUXTABLES
True, I had some fun at Lisa’s expense. However, I also liked Lisa a great deal. She tended on the quiet side, but was sweet and I thought, very kind. She went out of her way to make me...
MEN BEHAVE LIKE COMPLETE IDIOTS
It is simply a fact of life that beautiful women make men behave like complete idiots. I know first hand. Along with the rest of America, The Cosby Show had become my favorite television program. Every Thursday evening, I was parked...
FINE ASS LISA BONET
I would like to see a show of hands from men between the ages of 40 and 55, who remember where they were the first time they laid eyes on Lisa Bonet. If you claim not to recall, I...
WOMEN. OH THE WOMEN
I love women, absolutely love them. However, for most of my life, I found myself just too shy to speak to them. Oh, I looked and on occasion I would smile. I always fantasized, but approaching a woman out...
