She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1719 Vine Street. She later appeared in the film "Biker Boyz". An apocryphal story has it that a Masai chief offered 150 cows, 200 goats, sheep, and $750 for her while she was on location in Africa for the 1965 movie Mister Moses. In 2000 she appeared in the movie High Fidelity. Afterwards, she moved to Europe, where she appeared in several films in Italy, Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom, as well as in Mexico. Soon she started dating yoga instructor Brian Kest, with whom she had another child, and in 1998 she had a supporting role in Enemy of the State with Will Smith. In 1964 she starred in The Carpetbaggers, and in 1965 in Harlow. Soon after she changed her name legally, deciding to keep using her birth name on the productions she participated in. After appearing in television commercials, her big break came in 1956, when she not only appeared in the big feature Giant, but starred in Baby Doll, for which she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress. She and Kravitz divorced in 1993 and she began to accept jobs on straight-to-video releases and made-for-TV movies. Born in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, she began her film career in 1953, with a small part in Easy to Love. (It seemed to fare well in the ratings without her.) Her character was brought back to The Cosby Show, but as she continued to behave unprofessionally she was eventually fired. Carroll Baker (Karolina Piekarski) (born May 28, 1931) is a Polish-American actress. She was constantly late (or did not show up) for tapings of her sitcom, and eventually she was removed from it entirely. After giving birth to daughter Zoe in 1989 Bonet's erratic professional behavior began to worsen. Although posing naked gave her name much international exposure, it did not help her career in the movies very much. In 1988, she posed naked for Rolling Stone Magazine, causing a large controversy and serious concerns from Cosby, who treated her and the rest of the actors who played his kids on the show as if they were his real-life kids. The film did not help her movie-acting career and she returned to the television world with another Cosby-produced show, A Different World. In 1987 she married singer Lenny Kravitz. Her explicit sex scenes in the film drew concern from the producers of The Cosby Show, who felt it detracted from her character's image. Her appearance there drew some controversy and some scenes had to be edited for the American public. In 1987 she accepted the role of Epiphany in the movie Angel Heart opposite Mickey Rourke, directed by Alan Parker. Bonet was known to have a wild side, like her character of "Denise" in the Cosby show. She is best known for being on The Cosby Show alongside Bill Cosby and Tempestt Bledsoe, among others, but Bonet actually began acting when she was 11, attending many auditions and participating in several television commercials before she became a star.
