Keshia Knight Pulliam

Keshia Knight Pulliam (born April 9, 1979 in Newark, New Jersey, U.S.) is an Emmy nominated African American actress. She is of Jamaican decent.

She is most recognized and remembered for her role as Bill Cosby's youngest daughter and child, Rudy Huxtable, on the NBC sitcom, The Cosby Show. She became the youngest actress ever to be nominated for an Emmy at age six for best supporting actress. Even before that — at age 3 — she played Keshia on Sesame Street.

Her character on The Cosby Show, Rudy, was mostly known for being the "baby" of the family. She was very young at the start of the show, but grew up onscreen.
