00:00 Trinidad and Tobago is being hailed as a magical place by one of Hollywood's

00:04 biggest stars. That glowing description is from award-winning American actress

00:11 Felicia Rashad who's in town for Carnival. She's best known for her role

00:15 as Clay Huxtable in the 1980s sitcom The Cosby Show. Rashad was at the Queens

00:22 Royal College and St. Francois Girls College Calypso Showcase today. She

00:27 recounted her experience with one of TNT's most prominent sons and QRC's

00:33 principal also presented her with a token.

00:38 Years ago in the early part of my career I had the privilege to meet Jeffrey

00:49 Holder. I think you must know who he is. An iconic artist, choreographer, dancer

00:57 from Trinidad who brought the magic of Trinidad to everything he did. I worked

01:04 with him in the original production of The Wiz. It was the most magical

01:09 experience I've had in the theater and I didn't understand until this visit. A

01:13 black activist, someone who has done so much for the black community not only

01:18 in the United States of America but worldwide and of course a famous

01:25 actress. An actress that I would have grown up with looking at with The Cosby

01:31 Show. So she cannot leave these shores and leave Queens Royal College without

01:38 getting a very special presentation made to her and of course I'm not going to

01:44 miss the opportunity to kiss Miss Huxtable either. So allow me to present

01:49 on behalf of Queens Royal College and St. Francois as well a very special

01:54 gift to you. I hope that you will take it back and you will be able to show it

01:59 off in the US.
