Answer: Huxtable

Denise Huxtable was played by Lisa Bonet on "The Cosby Show." Denise was sixteen when the show first started. Bonet was around the entire series, but not always as a main character due to "creative differences." That being she got pregnant, and Cosby thought it inappropriate for an unwed black daughter of Dr. Huxtable's to be represented.

Denise eventually marries Lt. Martin Kendall (played by Joseph C. Phillips) a member of the United States Navy. She met him while she was in Africa for a summer. They were married before she returned home. Also, she became stepmother to his precocious three-year-old daughter Olivia (played by Raven Symone).

Bonet legally changed her name to Lilakoi Moon in 1993, although professionally she still uses Lisa Bonet. This was apparently done so she could have more privacy.

Sondra Huxtable was played by Sabrina Le Beauf and is the oldest of the Huxtable children. She was there for all eight seasons, but not for all of the first season.

Answer: Camden

David "Dave" Camden was played by Nikolas Brino starting in season 3 through the rest of the series. He is one of their youngest sons, and Sam's twin.

Sam and Dave were in part named for the R&B duo Sam and Dave. When they get old enough to talk, they often will complete each other's sentences as they explain to someone what has happened.

Originally, the twins were played by the Brino quadruplets: Nikolas, Lorenzo, their brother Zachary, and sister Myrinda. However, as they got older and started looking too different, Nikolas and Lorenzo took the roles themselves.
