Lil Rudy is not so little anymore:

Television child star, Keshia Knight Pulliam, 29, has certainly out grown her role as the cute adorable Rudy Huxtable of the family sitcom, The Cosby Show. The talented actress has made a name for herself by turning her childhood success into solid adult roles. Pulliam has gone from working with one heavy-hitter, the legendary Bill Cosby, to another-Tyler Perry, a film/TV/theater legend in the making. A new generation is now enjoying her talents each week on the top-rated TBS sitcom, Tyler Perry’s House of Payne as Miranda. “It’s wonderful to work with someone like Tyler Perry who is an innovator in everything he’s done,” said Pulliam. “Being such a highly acclaimed show, it was a perfect fit.” What’s next for Pulliam? Early next year she will star in the film Tyler Perry’s Madea Goes to Jail. Pulliam will portray a troubled prostitute named Candy. “I was so excited to play this role. It’s so ‘out the box’ from anything that anyone has seen of me,” she said. “I know people will be shocked because they grew up with me as a child.”

Who cares about all that ‘talent’ talk, Lil Rudy is fine as hell now.

  • Hot Sauce

    first

  • swoosh

    hey

  • Kevin

    I’d hit it

  • Oshie

    Not only that but she’s 29 and looks 18.

  • mzsweetface

    She grew up to be very beautiful.

  • Aunt Viv

    She looks great!

  • Its the Foosa

    Never seen the Tyler Perry show, but she was the main reason i watched the movie Beauty Shop.

  • BeReal

    She did grow up to be quite beautiful!

  • Lovely One

    Rudy does look good…must give her props :-)

  • Necy

    now, that is natural beauty!!!

  • Moreaces

    She is a very beautiful young lady, but she is not the niecest person in the world. I knew her when she was growing up, and she treated her family like crap, basically when she turned 18 kicked her mom out of the house, and did a lot of other low down stuff.. She is not a nice person at all. beautiful yes, nice Helllla NO

  • Lisa

    She is pretty, is she married or engaged cuz that’s a nice ring on her finger. I heard stories about her and Raven not being as nice as people think, but they are successful, beautiful, and not into drugs, so I wish them the best.

  • Lady elle

    Good for her. She seems well rounded.

    She hasn’t gone through her money (from what the word is), She earned her degree and has kept herself working and growing….good for her…..

  • Lady elle

    yeah after reading some of the other posters, I have heard stories about her not being too nice but that may be a security wall.

    Rude look like a Jackson….no?

  • http://myspace.com/afiya00 BBC – Afiya

    She has grown into a very lovely lady…I’m impressed. :)

  • Somer

    She’s 29???? Damn, I thought she was around 23 or 24yrs old. Rudy has been grown for some time now. I always thought NBC should have done a spin off for her after she graduated Spellman. It could have been a great show with all the old characters making guest appearances. It would be nice to see “BUD” today. NBC hasn’t had a hit since Friends left the air. They are too busy with horrible reality shows like Celebrity Circus.

  • Domino

    Now that’s a pretty dark skin chick.

  • FURIOUZ STYLEZ

    WORD…RUDY PLAYS STREET BOOTY!

    …RISQUE ROLE–THIS’LL DEF LAND HER SOME MORE ROLES

  • Tracey

    Full black, lovely, pretty, gorgeous, real, talent and CUTE love her!

    I cannot believe lil rudy is 29 now, mannnnn time flies, but time suits her more than well!

  • Miss_NC

    She is beutiful, about not being so nice who knows? People don’t realize those are characters that they play.In real life, when you need to be about your money sometimes you don’t have time to be “nice” if it’s business related. When men do it, it’s cool but when a woman does it she’s a b*tch.

  • angeleyedqt

    Most celebrities aren’t nice in person, it’s a sad shame b/c its the fans who made them successful but I give props where they are due, she looks good and has an education, rare for celebrities to go back and get their degree and im sure her rudeness or attitude is just something to keep people out of her business, like someone mentioned a security wall

  • dapro11

    What’s up Ladies of the BBC

    Damn Rudy got FINE AS HELL

  • The_Truth

    Bill Cosby has to be most proud of Raven Symon. . .Keshia fyne, but she’s video girl.

  • justme

    Rude look like a Jackson….no?

    ———————-

    That’s the first thing I thought too…. She does….

  • Tracey

    @ Miss NC, nice enough for some smart do to give her the biggest rock one has ever seen for him to be her husband.

    Anyway, still do not understand why people by diamonds still, they should be made ILLEGAL, until peoples lives in Africa improve and the blacks get their fair share of the profits..instead of losing blood.

  • joey bishop

    she look like a cat in the face

  • Seek the light beyond the shadows

    Who did she marry that canary diamond is singing?

  • yanib

    She is beautiful.

  • DR.FUNK

    Just stunning.

  • EZRawlins

    Does anyone actually watch ‘House of Payne?’ That’s got to be on of the corniest shows on television. Good grief, I SO loathe Perry’s work…

  • sour grapes

    I went to school with her St. Leos in Irvington NJ

  • Just Sayin

    @ EZRawlins(Check me out!)

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    That show is junk! I’d rather watch Good Times.

    Who gave them air time for that load of crap.

  • Grownfolks

    she is pretty

  • MissBlaze43

    That show is corney as hell. It was originally dropped from the network and TBS was the only cable network that picked it up again. That guy who played in Jason’s Lyric looks AWFUL!! What happened to him? Light Skin people don’t always seem to age so well, do they. Jazmine Guy isn’t looking so “hot” either.

    Oh well.

  • always knew

    Keisha has grown into a beautiful woman, I’m glad to see her still working in her chosen profession. If the other Cosby Kids had been so lucky!! Besides Raven Simone no one else really made it…Good luck,Keisha!..

  • MissBlaze43

    I loved Keisha in Beauty Shop, she was really good. I’ll be looking forward to seeing her in the next Tyler Perry movie next year. I’m sure she’ll do well, but the TV show, I can’t get with it.

  • Zina {The original princess}

    I didn’t know that she was a reg on House of Payne. I haven’t watched that show since the 4th episode. Too bad ’cause I like her, that show, not so much. But her choice may not be so bad, she might have another 5 or 6 Perry films in the works. Ya’ll know he uses the same damn cast every time.

  • cns

    So you don’t have to be light skin or biracial(note sarcasm) to be considered attractive on this site.

    I actaully like the show. I didn’t at first, but it has grown on me.

  • chaka1

    She is BY FAR the prettiest one to come off of the Cosby show! Good luck to her.

  • memchee

    saw her awhile ago on Oprah……..uuuh girlfriend’s appearance was sick, like she has/had a eating disorder.

    Whatever her problems may be, I hope she’s doing better now.

  • WordtotheWise

    Absolutely gorgeous!

  • MissBlaze43

    @ chookyman

    Yeah, she was kinda out there with hers, but she played a really good part.

  • MissBlaze43

    @ cns

    Yes, dear, I know that. It’s just that some people are really caught up in the whole light skin thing and I was just pointing it out that not light skin people age very well.

    Just an observation that I wanted to put out there, that’s all.

  • MissBlaze43

    Not ‘all’

  • OhF@ckThat!!!

    Sep 12, 2008 – 12:18 pm Necy(Check me out!)

    now, that is natural beauty!!!

    _________

    Can’t you see she has on so much make-up that her face is 3 shades lighter than her body???

    I would love to see her with less make-up because she ALWAYS has pancake make-up on so I can’t say if she is pretty or not and I hope she kicked that COKE habit she has…

    Body is bangin tho IMHO

  • OhF@ckThat!!!

    __________

    MOST don’t age well…Look @ Jasmine Guy she looks 60!!! Most of the light skinned women in my family over the age of 32 look OLD as well. It’s not just your observation, I think it’s mostly the ones that are mixed with white cuz my cousin’s mixed with Korean are still gorgeous in their 40′s but the other ones look BEAT UP!!!!

    I guess you can’t have it all….

  • Aoki Lee

    Keisha was adorable as a baby & Beautiful as an adult… some sistas just lucky like that.

    BTW that House of Payne crap is a modern day minstrel. I thought they took that mess off the air long time ago? If not, they should!!!

    The Momma & Daddy are fat loud & argumentative watching them is like watching the house servants from Gone With the Wind, back then we had no choice but act that way in Hollywood dang it’s 2008 & things still the same out ther in LA LA LAND huh?

    Also- dude {G Money from New Jack City} looks like he hitting the pipe for real these day’s didn’t Wendy Williams say he was How U Doin in real life???

  • Aoki Lee

    OhF@ckThat!!!

    What do your moose face look like without an ounce of makeup? You nothing but a negative crab ass negroe you know that?

    Stop hating on sistas just cuz they look better & doing the things your lonely ass wish to be doing yourself.

    Tricks like you make me sick!!!

  • sepia830

    She’s very pretty.

    And I agree about Tyler Perry’s House of Payne and anything else that fool puts out–just garbage!!

  • always knew

    Another beautiful ‘dark butt’..tyler’s is a bit coonish..when we will come out with programming with more substance and variation? I hope some of you are in that field and trying to change some perceptions……But anyways, go Keisha! Stay beautiful and keep advancing your career!…

  • Kahmmillion

    She is a banger!

  • Brotha Malcolm

    DIME!

  • Henny & Red Bull Is The S***

    Rudy is looking hot & aging well. Bet Bill Cosby wants to put some jello pudding pop in her now !!!

  • villa game

    that girl iz da bizness

  • NewbagNcoupe

    DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN WHO PUT THAT ROCK ON HER FINGER?

  • NeevaTHEDiva

    now, that is natural beauty!!!

    ***************************************************that wasnt the nose she was given at birth. its sad that about 98% of black celebrities have gone and gotten nips and tucks on their nose.

  • terry

    skin bleaching and extensive cosmetic surgery. can’t tell?

    And she’ll be playing a hoe in Perry’s next Medea movie. wow, what a stretch for an afro-american actress.

  • F_U_andU_Too

    Assuming it’s true,

    I just love how it’s, “Oh well, she has a funky attitude, BUT she’s attractive, so it’s O.K.

    Same dumba$$ mentality that goes, “Oh, Kevin can’t read (in college), but it’s O.K., he’s the star running back.

    Ni99az.

  • Sticky-n-Sweet

    Classy, talented, beautiful, educated, and DARK! Sorry Berg, she’s outta your league.

  • MJ

    I was at a premiere of The Gospel in Atlanta a couple of years ago (it had Boris Kodjoe in it), and she was there. I sat in an empty seat. Unbeknown to be, it was her seat. When she came back I was about to move and she politely told me not to worry about it and she sat somewhere else. Surely this isn’t the best barometer of her niceness, but she was real sweet about it. I’m sure other actresses would have gotten really diva-fied at that moment.

    Btw, she’s pretty in person and did not have on a lot of make up.

  • Dee

    She’s a part of TV history, educated, talented attractive…Somebody should try to get this girl her own TV show or put her on a top rated show.

  • kenya

    i liked her character on the cosby show. she was just a likeable little girl, but ravens character got on my last nerve she was just extra

  • tara

  • Truth Hurts
