Lisa Bonet

Project: The Cosby Show

She portrayed the eldest daughter, Denise Huxtable, of Phylicia Rashad and Bill Cosby in The Cosby Show from 1984 to 1991. However, due to “creative differences” the director of the sitcom decided to fire Lisa Bonet after seven successful seasons. Even after her absence, the program went on to continue filming the eighth and last season, which aired its last episode on April 30, 1992. She might have been cut out of the show unfairly, but she landed several acting credits later on in her career, including New Eden and Lathe of Heaven.

Bonet was born November 16, 1967, in San Francisco, California. She was married to Lenny Kravitz from 1987 to 1993, with whom she has a daughter. She has been in a relationship with Aquaman actor Jason Momoa since 2005. They already have two children, a daughter and a son.
