Phylicia Rashad

Another celebrity who gained widespread recognition through The Cosby Show is Phylicia Rashad. Other on-screen works she did through the years include Good Deeds, the Creed movies, and a voice-acting role in the recently-released animated feature Soul. Meanwhile, in the world of stage productions, Rashad has taken credit for being the first African-American actress to win a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play, an achievement she made through her performance in A Raisin in the Sun. Other plays she starred in include Into the Woods, Jelly’s Last Jam, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and Gem of the Ocean.

Recent reports regarding the actress’s net worth show it to be around $55 million. A portion of this fortune comes from her share of The Cosby Show’s royalties. However, fans know very little about the actress’ life outside the entertainment industry, besides the fact that she’s a mother of two, including the now-famous stage actress Condola Rashad.
