Her dad's mother, Roxy Rocker, is a famous black actress who married a Ukrainian Jew, Seymour Kravitz, a producer of popular science films.

Later, Lisa Bonet started a new family. Her husband Jason Momoa and Zoe Kravitz didn't get along too well.
The famous actor gave his stepdaughter the nickname Zozomyshka.
The girl said that she wanted to live with her father, and Lenny took her to his place in Miami, where the young lady immediately infiltrated the music scene. The rocker dad took his daughter to his concerts and festivals, but Zoey didn’t really like such a noisy environment.
Miami is not my city. Hot busty blondes, Louis Vuitton wallets and expensive cell phones did not interest me. I was the curly-haired daughter of famous biracial parents.
Zoe tried to imitate her father. She was truly friends with him. The rock musician has a tattoo that says “Finally free,” which his daughter later got as a sign of solidarity.

Since the late 90s, Zoe Kravitz has seen her mother only during the summer holidays. There was no particular understanding between them. With Jason Momoa, Lisa Bonet gave birth to a daughter, Lola Aiolani, and a son, Nakoa-Wolf, who became Zoe's half-sister and brother.

As mentioned above, the actress herself experienced this disease at a young age. For the role of Zoya, she had to lose a lot of weight, which was not easy for her.
At school I had digestive disorders that lasted until I was twenty. Most likely, for this reason I was attracted to the role in Touched. I believe that it is important to talk about this problem, since many women and girls suffer from anorexia. I look like my heroine in every sense.
