Born to a teacher and an opera singer, you’ve definitely heard of Lisa Bonet. Her iconic part as Denise Huxtable is one that will go down in TV history and gave her the popularity to rise as an actress. Her first husband, Lenny Kravitz wrote songs about her, and also brought a child into the world together, Zoë, who has also followed in her mother’s acting footsteps.
Last appearing in the 2016 Emmy Award Winning TV series, “Ray Donovan,” Bonet married “Aquaman” hunk Jason Momoa in 2017. They had a couple of children before they made a mutual decision to break up in 2022.
Angie Harmon
Formerly a professional model, Angie Harmon was discovered at 23 whilst on a flight, by none other than David Hasselhoff! Not a bad ice-breaker story at all! After this chance spotting, Harmon starred in "Baywatch Nights" and "C-16: FBI," before joining "Law & Order." Leaving her former modeling life behind, having graced the covers of ELLE, Cosmopolitan and Esquire, Angie wished to live her dream of being on the big screen.
Whilst she had more success with television, she starred in "Agent Cody Banks," "Fun with Dick and Jane," "End Game" and "Seraphim Falls." She has won a Gracie Award and People’s Choice Award and most recently starred as Detective Jane Rizzoli on TV series "Rizzoli & Isles." It seems if she wasn’t…hoff-ered the start on "Baywatch Nights" she may not have been where she is today!
Pamela Anderson
Wa-wa-we-wah... none other than CJ of "Baywatch." And can you believe Pamela Anderson is now in her 50s? Gosh, time flies when you’re a mega-babe known for running on the sand in Malibu. Or for being unceremoniously thrown into a marriage sack by Sacha Baron Cohen…genius way to get the woman of your dreams, no really. Anderson shot to fame on THAT Playboy cover in February 1990. Soon after she was scouted for roles on Home Improvement, Baywatch, and V.I.P., as well as films "Raw Justice" and "Barb Wire" (Reow!).
Sadly though, Pamela has been unlucky in love, with tempestuous relationships with Tommy Lee and Kid Rock. It seems though she may have found love with French footballer Adil Rami...for five minutes, before having a two-year-long marriage with producer Jon Peters.
Linda Kozlowski
“Mick, give him your wallet.” “What for?” “He’s got a knife.” “That’s not a knife. THAT’s a knife.” Who can forget the iconic scene in "Crocodile Dundee" which catapulted Juilliard graduate Linda Kozlowski to fame? Playing the female lead opposite Australian larrikin Paul Hogan, Kozlowski and Hogan’s on-screen chemistry became more, with the pair starting a real-life relationship!
Since the film, Kozlowski appeared in "Almost an Angel," "Backstreet Justice," "The Neighbor," and "Village of the Damned." However, Kozlowski was tired of being typecast, stating “these straight to-video…films I was getting were giving me an ulcer…I was the only one on the set that cared about anything...I decided to give it all away.” In regard to her personal life, it seems her role in "Crocodile Dundee" was fated, marrying Hogan in 1990, and giving birth to a son, Chance. In 2013 however, the duo split, and she married her Moroccan lover, Moulay Hadid Babaa!
Raquel Welch
Raquel Welch's role in "One Million Years B.C." caught the attention of many men (and still to this day may we add!) and women, as well as subsequently producing one of the highest-selling pin-up posters of all time. After the death of Monroe in 1962, Raquel assumed her place, and rid the world of the idea that sex goddesses came in one form only; peroxide blondes.
Of Bolivian and Irish heritage, she was constantly reminded of her beauty even as a teenager, with nicknames “Miss Photogenic” and “Miss Contour.” With two kids at the age of 25, and one divorce behind her, she moved to Dallas, working as a model. Unfortunately, her acting career didn’t take off quite as she’d hoped, typecast as the sexy, va-va-voom bombshell. In 2023, at the age of 82, she sadly passed away.
