“I always thought that was a really wonderful character element, that unfortunately didn’t stay, and I don’t know why.” – Malcolm Jamal Warner.
According to @BlackWomenFilm Claire Huxtable (Phylicia Rashad) sometimes spoke Spanish on The Cosby Show because the character was initially conceived as Dominican 🤷🏽♀️
