COSBY IN WINTER

摘要

Imagine for a moment that cliff huxtable has been possessed by the ghost of Fred Sanford. That's the first thin that comes to mind when Bill Cosby greets you at 3 in the afternoon in his palatial Manhattan brownstone, still puttering around in red-plaid flannel pajamas on an unusually warm fall day. It's been a decade since the 66-year-old comedian stopped playing TV's favorite dad, and in retirement he's grown older and more ornery than we remember. The round, friendly face is worn and thinner, and the mischievous sparkle is dimmed by weariness. In case you were wondering why he's wearing bedclothes to an afternoon interview, Cosby cuts a playfully defiant look that screams "I dare you to say a word," and explains, "In my house, on my couch ―I love it. It's the best work environment you could ask for."
