Lisa Bonet

She later appeared in the film "Biker Boyz". Her remains were cremated in accordance with her wishes but remained unclaimed at the Chapel of the Pines Crematory. In 2000 she appeared in the movie High Fidelity. She died April 30, 1965 from cardiac arrest during surgery for a stomach ulcer in Hollywood, California. 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. Her alcoholism continued unabated. Soon after she changed her name legally, deciding to keep using her birth name on the productions she participated in. She survived but her face was badly scarred, and ruled out any chance of a comeback.

She and Kravitz divorced in 1993 and she began to accept jobs on straight-to-video releases and made-for-TV movies. In 1950, Chandler was severely burned in an apartment fire, caused by her falling asleep while smoking. (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. She was hospitalised several times but was unable to gain control over her life. She was constantly late (or did not show up) for tapings of her sitcom, and eventually she was removed from it entirely. By this time she was battling alcoholism and her acting career declined. After giving birth to daughter Zoe in 1989 Bonet's erratic professional behavior began to worsen. Among her stage successes of the 1930s were Pride and Prejudice in 1935, and a reprise of her role in Outward Bound in 1938.

Although posing naked gave her name much international exposure, it did not help her career in the movies very much. She achieved more successes in A House Divided (1931) and Christopher Strong (1932) and began dividing her time between Hollywood and Broadway. 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. Once again, Chandler received plaudits for her performance. 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. Chandler did not want to play the role for which she is probably best remembered, as Mina Harker in Dracula as she wanted to play Alice in Alice in Wonderland, but this part was given to Charlotte Henry, and Chandler, disappointed, joined David Manners and Bela Lugosi in "Dracula". 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. Chandler, with her blonde hair and ethereal quality was considered to be perfectly cast, and she received critical praise for her performance.

Her appearance there drew some controversy and some scenes had to be edited for the American public. The unusual story told of a group of passengers on an ocean liner who gradually realise that they are all dead. In 1987 she accepted the role of Epiphany in the movie Angel Heart opposite Mickey Rourke, directed by Alan Parker. She made her film debut in 1927 in The Music Master and in 1930 joined Leslie Howard, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., and Beryl Mercer for the film version of the stage success Outward Bound. Bonet was known to have a wild side, like her character of "Denise" in the Cosby show. Within a few years she was playing Shakespearean roles opposite such highly regarded performers as John Barrymore. 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. Born in Charleston, South Carolina, Chandler began her acting career on Broadway in 1917.
