On one hand she won America's hearts with her role as Denise on the Cosby show, but on the other, by that point she'd already ran away from home on her 20th birthday with rock musician Lenny Kravitz. By the mid-90s she and Lenny were divorced, and she was a frequent fixture in the headlines.
A striking figure, who looks different but just as captivating today, Lisa's life and career has been one of ups and downs. She achieved notoriety by appearing naked with Mickey Rourke in 'Angel Heart' before the 90s even began, and her only truly prominent film role during the 90s was opposite Will Smith in 'Enemy of the State'. She took the late 90s off to focus on raising her child, but has since returned to television roles, including 'New Girl' and 'Life on Mars'.
