Lilakoi Moon[1] (born Lisa Michelle Bonet; November 16, 1967), known professionally as Lisa Bonet,[2][3][4] is an American actress and activist. As an actress, Bonet is perhaps best known for work with American actor and comedian Bill Cosby, starring in two of his productions on NBC, The Cosby Show (1984–1992) and A Different World (1987–1993), as the unorthodox, free-spirited Denise Huxtable.[5] After The Cosby Show ended in 1992, Bonet entered a state of semi-retirement from acting, only sporadically appearing in films and on television such as Maya Daniels in Life on Mars (2008-2009) and Marisol on Ray Donovan (2016). She is also known for her acting roles in Angel Heart (1987), High Fidelity (2000), Biker Boyz (2003), and Road to Paloma (2013).
After being in beauty competitions and appearing in guest spots on television series as a child, Bonet landed the role of Denise Huxtable on The Cosby Show, the second oldest child of the parents played by Bill Cosby and Phylicia Rashad.[12]
In 1987, she briefly left The Cosby Show to star in the spin-off series A Different World, which focused on Denise’s life at college. That year, Bonet, then 19, played 17-year-old Epiphany Proudfoot in the movie Angel Heart opposite Mickey Rourke.[13] In the film, several seconds of an explicit scene she shared with Rourke (filmed when she was 18) were edited to ensure an R rating.[14] It was followed by a topless centerspread in Interview magazine.[15]
After announcing her pregnancy during the run of A Different World, Bonet left the series.[16] She returned to The Cosby Show the following year, but was fired in April 1991 because of “creative differences”.[17] After The Cosby Show, Bonet appeared in direct-to-video releases and made-for-television movies.
In September 1992, Bonet hosted Why Bother Voting?, an election special focusing on young voters’ concerns and apathy. She had supporting roles in the 1998 film Enemy of the State and the 2000 film High Fidelity. In 2003 she played Queenie in Biker Boyz, which reunited her with her A Different World co-star Kadeem Hardison.[18]
Bonet co starred in the film Whitepaddy in 2005. While she did not have another film role until 2014’s Road to Paloma, she did make a number of appearances in episodes of television dramas and comedies, starting in 2008 in the American adaptation of the British television series Life on Mars.[19][20] She had a recurring role in the 2014–15 series The Red Road, starring her partner and future husband Jason Momoa.
