* Whitney Houston turned down the role of Denise Huxtable on "The Cosby Show" because she wanted to have a singing career. Lisa Bonet took the part.

I did hear about her almost getting the part as Sondra though.

I heard that Sabrina LeBeauf beat out Whitney for the role of Sondra.

She seems too old to have played Denise, but I could see her as Sondra.

Sabrina LeBeuf was already in her mid-20s too, when the show started.
