Cosby : his life and times / Mark Whitaker.
"An American icon, comedian Bill Cosby -- a fascinating account of his life and historic legacy. Cosby grew up in a Philadelphia public housing project, the son of an alcoholic, largely absent father and a loving but overworked mother. 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 stand-up comedian. The story of the groundbreaking Cosby Show sitcom as well as Cosby's bestselling albums, breakout role on I Spy, and pioneering place in children's TV. Also, the professional setbacks and personal dramas, from an affair that sparked public scandal to the murder of his only son. Cosby's controversial stands on race, as well as "the Cosby effect" that helped pave the way for a Black president."--From publisher.
