Keshia Knight Pulliam was born on April 9, 1979 in Newark, New Jersey. At nine months old, she was chosen for a Johnson & Johnson print ad, and displayed throughout the US.
At three years old, Keisha already had a steady career as a commercial model for big brands like Pepsi, Del Monte, and other major companies in the country.
The role of Rudy Huxtable was originally made for a boy. But, when the five-year-old Keshia came for an audition, producers believed that Keshia was the best fit for the role.
