TV LEGEND: Raven-Symoné was originally cast on the Disney Channel series that became That’s So Raven as the sidekick to the physic star of the show.It’s rare for a TV audience to follow a character from a toddler until adulthood (Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen are notable exceptions, being stars since they were literal infants), but that’s what happened with Raven-Symoné. She was just three years old when she was cast as Olivia Kendall on The Cosby Show, the step-daughter of Lisa Bonet’s Denise Huxtable Kendall. With Keshia Knight Pulliam’s Rudy Huxtable becoming an ancient ten years old at the time, Raven-Symoné’s Olivia’s interactions with Bill Cosby’s Cliff Huxtable soon became the centerpiece of the series.In January 2003, Raven-Symoné’s new series, That’s so Raven, about Raven Baxter, a teenage psychic, debuted on The Disney Channel and became one of the network’s biggest hits ever. It was so popular that the network broke its own “rule” about not allowing any series to last past three seasons (and roughly 65 episodes), and it became The Disney Channel’s first sitcom to reach 100 episodes. Raven-Symoné continues to star as Raven on a popular sequel series on The Disney Channel called Raven’s Home, which just completed its sixth season (with a seventh season already filmed, and possibly more in the works).
