built 388 days ago
Prior to this, Lisa met Lenny Kravitz (aka Romeo Blue) at a New Edition concert. Kravitz was ... half Jewish and the son of The Jeffersons star Roxie Roker. Their similar bi-racial backgrounds and independent spirits made for a close bond. The couple eloped in Las Vegas in 1987. By 1989, Lenny had landed a record deal and recorded his first album, Let Love Rule. Lisa co-wrote a couple of songs on the album and she was said to be the inspiration for most of the album.

Lisa and Lenny got divorced in 1993 after a bitter breakup. Lenny became more famous than his ex wife Lisa after the divorce and she faded from the high profile stardom. She started making B- movies after she was no longer an in demand actress. She started dating Bryan Kest a yoga instructor in 1992. Soon after they started living together. After cutting back on acting for sometime, she made a brief return in “Enemy of the State” a big budget movie co-starring Will Smith.

Lisa and Lenny are still friends and it was while playing music for Lenny that he first heard what Cree Summer was doing. Cree, a former co-star from A Different World and fellow Pirate, was working on her first solo album when Lenny called and asked if she needed a producer. Cree did and Street Faerie Cree's debut album was eventually born from the collaboration that ensued.

The Bill Cosby-produced World was a bonafide hit, but Bonet quickly lost interest in the show, often showing up late to the set or not at all. Within two years she was gone, opting instead to spend more time with her newborn daughter Zoe. Bonet spent the remainder of the 1980s making infrequent appearances on The Cosby Show, and she made a conscious decision not to act in the early 1990s. In 1993, her marriage to Kravitz fell apart, and to make ends meet in the mid-'90s, she accepted roles in made-for-TV and straight-to-video productions. Around this time, Bonet legally changed her name to Liliquois Moon, though she claimed she would continue to use her birth name for her acting career. She had another child with boyfriend and former yoga instructor Brian Kest before returning to the big screen with a memorable supporting role in 1998's Enemy of the State.

It became clear that Bonet shared her character's defiant persona when she left Cosby in 1987 for a racy part opposite Mickey Rourke in director Alan Parker's gothic thriller Angel Heart. The role required the 19-year-old Bonet to appear in several graphic sex scenes, some of which had to be cut for mainstream American release. The actress seemed unfazed at the controversy surrounding her appearance in Angel Heart; nonetheless, the part did little to further her big-screen career, and by the end of the year she would return to the safety of episodic TV in the series A Different World. Also in 1987, Bonet married rocker Lenny Kravitz, whose impetuous free spirit and bi-racial upbringing uncannily paralleled her own background.
