Whitney Houston's career might have been very different had she not turned down the role of Sondra (played by Sabrina LeBeauf) on the hit '80s comedy "The Cosby Show".
"Cosby" director Jay Sandrich told The Daily Mail that Houston stopped just short of signing on the dotted line to play Sondra. "We gather in this room and there are kids from New York and Los Angeles and they are all signing their contracts, and this girl who we brought from New York said 'I can't sign this contract,'" he recalled.
"And I said 'Why?' She said, 'Well, I want to be a singer ... I can't be in every show ... I have to be in every tour.'"
