The actress behind Clair Huxtable is returning to her alma mater, as a dean.
Howard University recently named multi-award winning TV, stage and film actress and director Phylicia Rashad as dean of its College of Fine Arts.
Rashad, who is also a Houston native, began her career on Broadway before moving on to play Bill Cosby’s TV wife on the long-running 1980s hit “The Cosby Show.” She was also a theater acting major at Howard when she graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor’s in fine arts in 1970.
Now, Rashad, 72, said she looks forward to returning to the Northwest Washington school that shaped her theatrical skills while she also studied courses such as psychology, French history and Greek theater.
