Broadway star and The Cosby Show actress Ethel Ayler died last month in Loma Linda, Calif., her family announced on Friday. She was 88.

“With a career spanning over five decades, Ayler had a recurring role as Carrie Hanks, [Clair] Huxtable’s mother on The Cosby Show has come home to rest,” they wrote on The Mobile Register and Baldwin County obituaries’ site.

Ayler played Clair Huxtable’s (Phylicia Rashad) mom Carrie Hanks on The Cosby Show, recurring throughout the sitcom’s run from 1984-92. In real life, Ayler was only 18 years older than Rashad.

  1. With havin so much written content do you ever
    run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My blog has
    a lot of completely unique content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web
    without my agreement. Do you know any techniques to help stop content from
    being stolen? I’d genuinely appreciate it.

  2. My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
    I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on several
    websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another
    platform. I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it?

    Any kind of help would be really appreciated!
