Lisa Bonet, an American actress from the 1980s to 1990s, rose to fame with her role as Denise Huxtable in the widely famous family-oriented television series, The Crosby Show. We know that she’s been in a couple of high-profile relationships with other celebrities, but does Lisa Bonet have kids?
Lisa Bonet has 3 children. She had her firstborn, Zoe Isabella, in 1988. Bonet also has 2 more children with ex-husband, Aquaman actor, Jason Momoa: Lola Lolani, born in 2007, and Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo, born in 2008.
How she started
Bonet, a loving mother of 3, started out in beauty competitions and guest spots on television as a child. She had her formal acting training at the Celluloid Actors’ Studio in North Hollywood.
At 16, she landed a role as the second eldest child in one of the most famous shows in America back in the 80s, The Crosby Show.
She portrayed a free-spirited, high-energy teen that somehow mirrored how she was in real life, donning eclectic outfits and her signature round shades, Lisa rose to worldwide fame.
Bonafide Actress
In 1987, Lisa left The Crosby Show to star in her own sitcom titled A Different World. Her character is based on her previous role as Denise, who now is in college.
Though the series wasn’t well-received, this became Bonet’s stepping stone from being a child star to a real bonafide actress. She then got cast for a role in Angel Heart, a psychological horror film that starred Robert De Niro and Mickey Rourke.
In this film, Bonet had to do a sexually explicit scene with Rourke, which had to be edited to get an R-rating. Regarded as underappreciated and influential, Angel Heart earned Lisa a nomination for the Saturn Awards’ Best Supporting Actress.
