Glair Huxtable

(The Cosby Show)

The Cosby Show’s formidable matriarch Clair Huxtable was as classy as she was sassy, and as a respected attorney, she brought home bacon equal to her obstetrician husband. Clair, portrayed by Phylicia Rashad, was the embodiment of 1980s success and showed that a strong mom is the center of a strong family.
