LISA BONET

Emmy-nominated actress Lisa Bonet used the iconic series The Cosby Show to begin her career in feature films. She tried to separate herself from her clean-cut all-American persona by starring in Angel Heart. She eventually went back to TV, working for Cosby, who had produced the smooth series A Different World. However, a child from her relationship with rocker Lenny Kravitz pressured her to leave the show after the first season.

She lived the next decade attempting to re-enter the scene through direct-to-video releases and TV guest appearances. At the turn of the millennium, she reignited her career to a modest degree with supporting roles in major films such as Enemy of the State and Biker Boyz. Bonet then earned a comeback to television in the Life on Mars, and the actress continued to star in flicks together with her husband Jason Momoa. Anyone who loved her as a Cosby kid keeps seeing her beauty that struck a chord in audiences 20 years ago.
