After The Cosby Show ended in 1992, Bonet entered a state of semi-retirement from acting, only sporadically appearing in films and on television such as Maya Daniels in 2008—2009 and Marisol on 2016.
Bonet was born in the heart of the hippie movement, in November 1967 in San Francisco, to a white Jewish schoolteacher mother and a black opera-singing father.
Bonet gave birth to their daughter on December 1, 1988.
She has five half-sisters and two half-brothers by her father's marriage to Deborah Church.
In the film, several seconds of an explicit scene she shared with Rourke filmed when she was 18 were edited to ensure an R rating.
