Happy birthday, Lisa Bonet

 Actress Lisa Bonet turns 55 today.

Bonet was a child actress who rocketed to stardom in the mid-1980s when she portrayed the oldest daughter in a wholesome nuclear family on "The Cosby Show" (1984-1991), but saw her career knocked off its track by scandal and moral outrage when she then portrayed a sexy (and sexually active) teenaged voodoo priestess in the horror film "Angel Heart" (1987). (Bonet's move probably wouldn't have caused even a ripple these days, what with borderline child porn showing up on Netflix with virtually no issues.)

Here's a look back at Bonet during various points over the decades since.

Bonet married musician and songwriter Lenny Kravitz in 1987, and they had one daughter together, Zoe. Bonet only worked sporadically during the 1990s and 2000s; some say her career remained stalled because of the "Angel Heart" controversy, but Bonet states that she was focused mostly on raising her daughter. Bonet and Kravitz divorced in 1993.

Zoe has followed in her mother's footsteps, both with her goth fashion sense and her career as an actress. Meanwhile, Bonet got together with actor Jason Momoa, and they have two children together. Earlier this year, Bonet and Momoa separated.
