Her Childhood

Lisa Michelle Bonet was born on November 16, 1967, in San Francisco. Her father Allen Bonet, an African American opera singer, left the family shortly after his daughter's birth. The future star was raised by her mother, Arlene Litman, an Ashkenazi Jewish woman who taught music at a college.

Her mixed heritage gave her a striking, exotic look, but despite her beauty, Lisa was a shy child. Only after joining the drama club did she become confident and make friends. By graduation, Lisa knew she'd become an actress.

The Beginning of Her Career

Lisa received her acting education at the Celluloid Actor's Studio. At 16, she appeared in several episodes of St. Elsewhere, America's most popular medical drama at the time, where Denzel Washington, Mark Harmon, William Daniels, and David Morse also played the roles.

In 1985, Bill Cosby—comedy legend and Christmas sweater icon—invited Lisa to his new project, The Cosby Show. Her role in the sitcom about the wealthy African-American Huxtable family revealed her comedic talent. Lisa played Cosby's daughter for five years. She left the show after a conflict with Bill Cosby.

In the '90s, Lisa—whose photos graced glossy magazine covers—was considered a beauty icon. Bonet made dreadlocks popular. Over two seasons, she rocked her dreadlocks on The Cosby Show and became a trendsetter for youth fashion.

Her Best Roles

According to Zoomboola.com, 1987 saw the release of Alan Parker's infernal masterpiece Angel Heart, based on the novel Falling Angel by William Hjortsberg. It is a neo-noir story of the detective Harry Angel, played by Mickey Rourke. New Orleans appears in all its gloomy beauty, with jazz, voodoo, and vicious passion personified by Lisa Bonet, who played the role of Epiphany.

The scene of the stormy, almost animal passion between Angel and Epiphany is considered one of the most beautiful erotic scenes in cinema. Interestingly, this sex scene was shot with just one double. Lisa says she truly experienced the ecstasy that audiences witness onscreen.

In the 1993 black comedy Bank Robber, Lisa starred as Priscilla. In this movie, thief Billy attempts a daring bank robbery for his girlfriend. Patrick Dempsey played this unlucky robber, who died as absurdly as he lived. Forest Whitaker and Judge Reinhold also starred in Nick Mead's movie.

Lisa was able to create a dream life. The actress is happy, and she does not hide it. She thinks that Jason is the alpha male. The embodiment of masculinity, the Hawaiian actor's wild, unbridled spirit perfectly complements Lisa's delicate and gentle nature. She can spend hours talking about the merits of her sweetheart, especially noting that the inner beauty of Jason is reflected in his handsome appearance. The age difference between Lisa and Jason is 13. But when it comes to true love, age is just a number, isn't it?

Lisa Bonet Now

Lisa rarely makes public appearances and hasn't starred in films since 2014. In an interview with Elle, Lisa admitted that raising her children and supporting her husband, who's at the peak of his fame, are her top priorities.
