Lisa Bonet, born November 16, 1967, became an instant TV icon in the 1980s when she stepped into the role of Denise Huxtable on The Cosby Show. Her performance earned her an Emmy nomination and led to the beloved spin-off A Different World, where she starred from 1987 to 1993 and solidified her status as a defining face of the decade. In 1995, she quietly changed her legal name to Lilakoi Moon, though she has continued to use the name Lisa Bonet professionally.

Following her breakout success, Lisa transitioned into film with standout roles in Angel Heart (1987), Enemy of the State (1998), High Fidelity (2000), Biker Boyz (2003), and Road to Paloma (2013). She later returned to television with memorable arcs in Life on Mars (2008–2009) and Ray Donovan (2016), reminding fans of her versatility and longevity in Hollywood.

Lisa’s personal life has also been widely followed. She married musician Lenny Kravitz in 1987, and they welcomed one daughter, actress Zoë Kravitz, before divorcing in 1993. Lisa later married Jason Momoa in 2017 after more than a decade together; they share two children. The pair announced their separation in early 2022, and their divorce was finalized in January 2024.
