The first major biography of an American icon, comedian Bill Cosby. Based on extensive research and indepth interviews with Cosby and more than sixty of his closest friends and associates, it is a frank, fun and fascinating account of his life and historic legacy.Far from the gentle worlds of his routines or TV shows, Cosby grew up in a Philadelphia housing project, the son of an alcoholic, largely absent father and a loving but overworked mother. With novelistic detail, award winning journalist Mark Whitaker tells the story of how, after dropping out of high school, Cosby turned his life around by joining the Navy, talking his way into college, and seizing his first breaks as a standup comedian.Published on the 30th anniversary of The Cosby Show, the book reveals the behindthescenes story of that groundbreaking sitcom as well as Cosbys bestselling albums, breakout role on I Spy, and pioneering place in childrens TV. But it also deals with professional setbacks and personal dramas, from an affair that sparked public scandal to the murder of his only son, and the private influence of his wife of fifty years, Camille Cosby.Whitaker explores the roots of Cosbys controversial stands on race, as well as the Cosby effect that helped pave the way for a black president. For any fan of Bill Cosbys work, and any student of American television, comedy, or social history, Cosby: His Life and Times is an essential read.
