When she was only three years old, Raven-Symoné found notable success playing Denise Huxtable's stepdaughter, Olivia Kendall, on "The Cosby Show." Since her infectious personality served her well on the NBC series, producers for "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper" sought after Raven to play the quick-witted daughter of Geneva Lee, Nicole Lee.
Aside from starring alongside Eddie Murphy in "Doctor Dolittle," Raven became one of Disney's iconic leading actresses following the show's demise. From voicing Monique in "Kim Possible" to playing Galleria in "The Cheetah Girls," Raven found herself mirroring Mark Curry by starring in her own sitcom titled "That's So Raven," where she played the teenage psychic Raven Baxter. Despite its instant success, Raven eventually departed from Disney to pursue other ventures. In 2017, however, Raven returned to Disney to star in and produce "Raven's Home."
In a 2022 interview with them magazine, Raven touched on how thankful she's found notable success as a child, teenager, and adult. "I was told a long time ago, 'Every day in your life is a page in your book, and you want to make sure that whoever reads the book later on, you're not embarrassed by anything,'" she revealed. "And that's cool, that all those different age brackets can read through my book. I got a couple volumes, and I'm only 36 years old. So, that's really cool." With the success of "Raven's Home," it's clear that our favorite fictional psychic isn't slowing down anytime soon.
