    Inspired by I Love Lucy, Cosby intended for Clair to be a Dominican who would go into Spanish tirades when she got angry. Phylicia Rashad, who learned fluent Spanish from living in Mexico as a child, won the part by demonstrating her language skills, but this idea was dropped before the pilot was taped. Clair is shown speaking Spanish in a few episodes.
