"The Cosby Show has lost one of its matriarchs.\r\nActress Clarice Taylor, who played Grandmother Huxtable (mom to Bill Cosby&amp;apos;s Cliff Huxtable) died Monday in Englewood, NJ, at the age of 93, Variety confirms.\r\n\r\nTaylor appeared frequently on the NBC smash during its 1984 - 1992 run. In 1986, she received an Emmy nomination (alongside actor Earle Hyman, who played her Cosby Show husband) for her performance.\r\n\r\nTaylor also appeared for over a decade as Harriet on Sesame Street. Born in Virginia but raised in NYC&amp;apos;s Harlem, she began as a theater actress in New York&amp;apos;s Negro Ensemble Company in the late 60s. She appeared in the original Broadway and touring production of The Wiz; film credits include Clint Eastwood&amp;apos;s Play Misty for Me and Five on the Black Hand Side.\r\n\r\nTaylor is survived by two sons and five grandkids."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
