“I have a desire to create more film, more beauty, more art, more love, but I don't feel desperate. It's not about creating or building a career... What’s been going on with Lisa Bonet? After making quite a name for herself in the 1980s – “The Cosby Show,†“A Different World,†her nude Rolling Stone cover, and marriage to Lenny Kravitz proved Lisa both unpredictable and unique – she has remained aloof and very selective in when she works. Returning to television in 2008 with “Life on Mars†may seem unusual for those familiar with Lisa’s past, but this anti-mainstream approach to just about all aspects of life started in Lisa’s childhood.Born in San Francisco in 1967, her father was African American and mother Jewish. She divided her time between New York and Los Angeles before her debut on “St. Elsewhere†in 1983. Within a year, Lisa joined “The Cosby Show†as the eldest daughter, Denise Huxtable – a run that lasted eight seasons on NBC. Lisa starred in the brief spin-off series “A Different World†in 1987, the same year she married Lenny Kravitz, a marriage that produced a daughter, Zoe, in 1988. The divorce was final in 1993.It was during this time period, the early 1990s, when Lisa made significant steps in backing away from regular appearances on TV and film. She legally changed her name to Lilakoi Moon while maintaining “Lisa Bonet†as her stage name. Lisa chose few roles during this decade, with “Enemy of the State†her most notable performance in 1998. She made a memorable John Cusack ex-girlfriend in “High Fidelity†in 2000 and starred as Queenie in “Biker Boyz†in 2003. Her steady boyfriend in the 2000s has been Jason Momoa, an actor from “Baywatch.â€
