Lisa Michelle Bonet is a professional American actress known for her work in television and film. Born on November 16, 1967, in San Francisco, California, Bonet has been active in the entertainment industry since 1982. Over the years, she has earned critical acclaim and a substantial fan base. She has three children and has been married twice.
Born and raised in San Francisco, California, Lisa Bonet developed a passion for acting at an early age. Her father, Allen Bonet, was an African-American opera singer originally from Texas. Her mother, Arlene Litman, of Jewish descent, was a schoolteacher. Lisa also has several half-siblings from her father's later relationships.
Bonet attended Reseda High School in Reseda, California. Her growing interest in acting led her to study at the Celluloid Actor’s Studio in North Hollywood, where she specialized in performance arts. Although there is no public record verifying a bachelor's degree from the institution, her training significantly shaped her acting abilities.
Lisa Bonet found early success in television, which became the primary focus of her career. Her breakthrough came when she was cast as Denise Huxtable in the iconic NBC sitcom The Cosby Show. Acting alongside notable performers such as Bill Cosby and Phylicia Rashad, Bonet quickly became a household name.
In 1987, she temporarily left the series to reprise her character in the spin-off show A Different World, which followed Denise Huxtable’s college years. That same year, Bonet took a riskier role in the psychological thriller Angel Heart, starring opposite Mickey Rourke and directed by Alan Parker. Her performance garnered significant attention for its mature content, especially given her age at the time: 19 years old.
Bonet returned to The Cosby Show briefly after taking maternity leave, but she was let go from the series in 1991 reportedly due to creative differences. Afterward, she diversified her career by taking on various roles in both television and film.
Among her later works, Bonet appeared in the 1998 political thriller Enemy of the State, sharing the screen with Will Smith. Although her role was supporting, the film's commercial success contributed to her continued visibility in Hollywood. Her varied performances across genres have helped her maintain a lasting presence in the industry. As of recent estimates, her net worth is approximately $10 million.
Bonet’s personal life has often attracted public interest. She was first married to musician Lenny Kravitz in 1987. The couple welcomed a daughter, Zoë Isabella Kravitz, on December 1, 1988. Zoë followed in her parents' artistic footsteps to become a successful actress and musician. Bonet and Kravitz separated amicably in 1993.
In 2005, Bonet began a relationship with actor Jason Momoa. The couple officially married in 2017, although they had long referred to each other as husband and wife. Together, they have two children: Lola Iolani Momoa, born on July 23, 2007, and Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa, born on December 15, 2008.
Though relatively private, Lisa Bonet occasionally shares personal moments through verified social media accounts, including Instagram, providing glimpses into her life and activism.
