William Henry Cosby, Jr. was born on July 12, 1937 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Cosby was the oldest of four sons born to his mother, who worked as a maid, and his father, who was a sailor in the US Navy. His childhood was full of loss and challenges, as he lost one of his younger challenges, and he was forced to work at a young age after his father became beholden to drink and was away from home often. Although he scored high on IQ test, Cosby eventually dropped out of high school and eventually enlisted in the Navy in 1956, working as a medical aid.
After his stint in the Navy – where he made the track team – Cosby attended Temple University on an athletic scholarship and during his time in school he worked at a coffee shop where he distinguished himself by telling jokes. Eventually, that would lead a part time gig telling jokes at a nearby comedy club and eventually he got noticed. His natural ability to perform convinced him to leave college early and began touring as a stand-up comedian.

He would be introduced to the country as a whole when he landed a spot alongside Robert Culp in the TV series, I Spy, in 1965. After the show ended, Cosby, was given his own show, The Bill Cosby Show (1969 to 1971) and soon after he would develop the animated series, Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids.

Throughout the run of the show, Cosby continued to act in movies and even published a bestselling book, Fatherhood, in 1986.
