The Cosby Show actor dies in drowning accident
Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here Malcolm-Jamal Warner, an actor and artist who rose to fame as a child as Theodore Huxtable on The Cosby Show , has died, according to a source close to the actor. Warner died in a drowning accident in Costa Rica, where he was on vacation with his family, the source said. Malcolm-Jamal Warner, an actor and artist who rose to fame as a child as Theodore Huxtable on "The Cosby Show," has died (Richard Shotwell/Invision/AP via CNN) Warner was swimming at Playa Grande in the town of Cocles in the province of Limón on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica around 2.30pm local time Sunday (6.30am Monday AEST), when a current pulled him deeper into the ocean, according to the Associated Press. Costa Rica's Judicial Investigation Police told CNN people who were on the beach tried to help Warner, but he was declared dead by the Red Cross. CNN has reached out to representatives for Warner for further information. Warner appeared on The Cosby Show. (Supplied) A native of New Jersey, Warner started acting at age nine, making appearances in shows like Fame . He was a young teen when he was cast as the only son of Bill Cosby and Phylicia Rashad's characters, Heathcliff and Claire Huxtable, in The Cosby Show , which ran from 1984 to 1992. Warner later reflected on the legacy of the popular, Emmy-winning sitcom. "The fact that the Cosby Show for Black America and white America alike finally legitimised the Black middle class, which has always been around since the inception of this country but, as with everything, is not legitimate 'til it's on television," Warner said. "When the show first came out, there were white people and Black people talking about (how) the Huxtables don't really exist, Black people don't really live like that. Meanwhile, we were getting tens of thousands of fan letters from people saying, thank you so much for this show." Warner later spoke about the sexual assault allegations against Bill Cosby. (AP) Warner was nominated for a Primetime Emmy in 1986 for his supporting work on The Cosby Show . By the time the series was over, Warner said in a 2013 interview, "we were still on top enough to go out on top, but we were ready to live our own lives." "We were all ready to move on and as Mr Cosby said, by that point, we had pretty much said all that we could say," Warner added. When dozens of sexual misconduct allegations against Cosby came to light years later, Warner acknowledged his sadness, saying he felt the sitcom's legacy had been "tarnished." "My biggest concern is when it comes to images of people of color on television and film, no matter what … negative stereotypes of people of color, we've always had The Cosby Show to hold up against that," Warner told The Associated Press in a 2015 interview. "And the fact that we no longer have that, that's the thing that saddens me the most because in a few generations the Huxtables will have been just a fairy tale." Cosby denied all the allegations. A 2018 sexual assault conviction against him was later overturned. As much as he honoured playing Theo, Warner also worked hard to show how multifaceted he was, including being a Grammy-winning musician. He won best traditional RnB performance in 2015 for the song "Jesus Children." He was also nominated for a Grammy in 2023 for best spoken word poetry album. Warner spoke with CNN in 2017 about his music and becoming a father. "Being a new parent, I have a lot of new material for the music," he said at the time. "It's really awesome and right now, my daughter's four months so I don't have to tell her 'no.'" Warner continued working steadily in television throughout his career, with credits including Touched by an Angel , Community , Key and Peele , Suits , Sons of Anarchy and American Horror Story . Warner also starred opposite Eddie Griffin in the series Malcolm & Eddie for four seasons between 1996 and 2000. His more recent acting credits include The Resident , The Wonder Years reboot, Grownish and 9-1-1 . Last year, Warner launched his podcast "Not All Hood" with the goal of continuing to be a voice that explores the diverse experiences of the Black community and touch on themes of representation in media. "When we talk about the Black community, we tend to speak of it as a monolith when the reality is there are so many different facets of the Black community, and we wanted to have a space where we can really explore, discuss, and acknowledge all of those different aspects," he told People magazine in an interview last year. entertainment celebrities USA Costa rica World CONTACT US

For one week only shoppers can save 50% on ‘sophisticated and sensual' Rabanne perfume
The limited edition Rabanne Fame The Couture Edition perfume has been slashed from £144 to £72 for one week only, with shoppers saying it smells 'sophisticated and sensual' There's nothing better than finding a new perfume that ends up being your go-to scent, and we think we might just have found the perfect fragrance that encapsulates summer. Rabanne's Fame The Couture Edition Eau de Parfum was inspired by Parisian nightlife, evoking fast-paced, sophisticated and sensual energy, and embodies everything we love about the summer season. The latest addition to Rabanne's Fame range of perfumes, The Couture Edition is a limited edition launch, serving up seductive notes that are sweet, floral and heady. It also comes in a unique faux fur-covered bottle with gold accents, giving it a luxurious, extravagant look to match its high end scent. The Rabanne Fame The Couture Edition perfume lands in the floral amber fragrance family, with notes of smoked incense, vanilla and iris. All of the ingredients are also ethically sourced, making it responsibly formulated. Although the perfume is usually priced at £144 for an 80ml bottle, now is the perfect time to get your hands on it for less. For a short time, LookFantastic has slashed the price of the limited edition perfume by 50%, bringing it down to just £72. Other beauty retailers have also discounted it the fragrance for a limited time, with Boots taking it down to £86.40 and saving you £57.60, whilst The Perfume Shop has dropped the price to £125, saving you £19. You can however make some serious savings on other perfumes at both retailers right now, so it's a great time to snap up some old favourites too. Boots is currently running a 20% off selected fragrances offer which includes brands like Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace and YSL. Meanwhile The Perfume Shop's summer sale has discounted fragrance favourites like Lancome, Chloe and Jean Paul Gaultier. However if you want to get your hands on the Rabanne Fame The Couture Edition before it sells out (or goes back up in price) then LookFantastic's offer is a must-shop. There's currently only one review of the perfume on the site, saying: 'I received and sampled and love it that much I brought the full size.' However at Boots one shopper praised: 'Not only do I love how great this scent smells, the bottle is so cute that I had to have it as a collector item. The scent is sweeter, richer and has more depth than the regular Fame. Think more fall, evening and seductive. Great purchase that you won't regret!' And another agreed: 'This is really high quality perfume. It lasts all day and a little goes a long way. The vanilla and floral notes really come through, making it perfect for everyday or special occasions.' Others were less impressed, saying: 'This smelled okay. I probably would not purchase it for a high price point but I might wear it out to dinner on occasion. It smells nice, with a slight vanilla scent that wears off rather quickly.' Another said: 'This perfume was overall just okay. Over the course of a few hours I started to feel like just a powdery hand soap as the vanilla scent fades. It does last long and it smells good but not something I would choose to wear.' However perfumes are such a personal thing, it's no surprise that some love it whilst others are less taken with the scent. Another happy shopper wrote: 'Omg this perfume smells amazing! Not a strong or overpowering it's a good floral sweet scent. I can wear this everyday. It's priced very well. And the packaging looks great. I got a small sample but bottle looks so cute! I'd definitely recommend such a sweet sexy scent.' You can pick up the Rabanne Fame The Couture Edition perfume at LookFantastic with 50% off now.
