  • Actress Sabrina Le Beauf played the role of Sondra Huxtable Tibideaux on The Cosby Show.
    While other characters were developed more intensely and given an ample amount of camera time, Sabrina’s character was underutilized. Once the show came to an end after eight seasons, several of her co-stars went on to have successful careers, while Sabrina retreated from the limelight and kept a low profile.
    RRG did some digging, and we were able to find some interesting information about Sabrina’s career, including how she initially lost the role of Sondra to a budding superstar and some details about her personal struggles.

    I guess I always looked at her character differently than most people did, I didn't think she was boring; I felt she was the oldest sibling and there for had to be the most levelheaded because somebody around her was always emotional and she was the one holding it together especially when it came to the siblings.

      I always heard she was ugly not boring. But ultimately they had to have one college aged child so her role which wasn't even originally written for, had to limited because of College time. Although alot of shows now will just have the brilliant kid go to a community college nearby with for some reason no dorm room. 😂

    One of my favorite Cosby episodes was when Sondra was sick and the two grandmothers took the twins for a day out, presumably to give Sondra a chance to rest. Sondra was so delirious that she did not realized what they had done. When she learned who had taken her babies she went on a mad hunt to track them down, forcing Alvin to drive her from place to place. When they got to the Huxtable home, she went on a rampage searching every room. Alvin asked Healthcliff if he knew where Claire was and he said no. Alvin said, "How can you not know where she is? She's you're wife!" And Heathcliff said, "Because I have as much control over my wife as you have over yours!" I could not stop laughing at Sondra's antics and Heathcliff's commentary on them!

    The show was awesome for the times. Things "seemed simpler" in the 80s. It was great seeing a thriving Black family when there wasn't any others. I loved it. I loved her character too. The older sister who had difficulties with finding her path. It should have been explored more, I agree. But not boring and you will never be forgotten.

      If she was away at Princeton it wasn't odd for her to not appear in the earlier episodes. I think k she added to the show as another child of Cliff and Claire. Expanding her to married with children, she didn't live in the house so it made sense she wouldn't appear in every episode. It didn't make sense to require her on set everyday with the depth of the role she had.

      @@iamaNubianqueen It was odd to me to have her show up because there was never any reference made to her existence prior to her first episode. That she was away at Princeton could have been stated as she would have at least been discussed by family members even if we never saw her. This way, when she showed up, we would have known that she was daughter #1 home from college. She was clearly added after the show launched which is fine but just felt odd. That being said, once she joined the cast, I think that the writers did a believable job of working her character into the show.

We never heard Heathcliff or Claire or any of the siblings ever mention big sister Sondra. That was odd to me but perhaps seems normal to you. I loved the show but I know that the writers were working under Cosby's direction and he decided after the show was already developed and the family established to add a fifth child. The writers wrote her in realistically but Cosby himself admits that he changed plans midstream and decided to include a fifth child after the fact to mirror his own family.

    I was fine with her personality on The Cosby Show. All five children were different. I liked her dynamic. However if I was Sabrina, I'd feel the same way. Elvin's personality was a complement to Sondra's. I wish we saw more of them as husband and wife and parents. It probably would've been nice to be apart of Sondra & Elvin's wedding on the show. Simply because the script after they returned from the honeymoon proved they were shifting their lives and the parents were hurt, shocked, and disappointed. I hope Sabrina knows all of her contributions to The Cosby Show were treasured by the fans and that encourages her heart. I still understand her point of view.
