Uma Karuna Thurman (born April 29, 1970) is an American actress. She has performed in a variety of films, from romantic comedies and dramas to science fiction and action films. Following her appearances on the December 1985 and May 1986 covers of BritishVogue, Thurman starred inDangerous Liaisons (1988). She rose to international prominence with her performance asMia Wallace inQuentin Tarantino's 1994 filmPulp Fiction,[1] for which she was nominated for anAcademy Award, aBAFTA Award, aGolden Globe Award, and aScreen Actors Guild Award for Best Supporting Actress. Often hailed as Tarantino's muse,[2] she reunited with the director to play the main role inKill Bill: Volume 1 and2 (2003, 2004),[3] which brought her a BAFTA Award nomination and two additional Golden Globe Award nominations.[4][5]
Thurman received aBuddhist upbringing, and spent altogether around two years inAlmora,Uttarakhand, India.[12][13] She grew up mostly inAmherst, Massachusetts, where she went to Amherst Regional Junior High School, then moved toWoodstock, New York. She has three brothers, Ganden (b. 1967), Dechen Karl (b. 1973),[14] and Mipam (b. 1978), and a half-sister named Taya (b. 1961), from her father's previous marriage. Thurman's first cousin once removed is Swedish soccer playerMax von Schlebrügge.[15]
She is described, in a 2004 biography, as having been an awkward and introverted girl who was teased for her appearance and unusual name (sometimes using the name "Uma Karen" instead of her birth name).[16] When Thurman was ten years old, a friend's mother suggested anose job.[12] As a child, she suffered bouts ofbody dysmorphic disorder.[17] She attendedAmherst Public Schools, where in eighth grade she discovered her love of acting. At age 14, she attendedNorthfield Mount Hermon School, a preparatory school in Massachusetts, where talent scouts noticed her performance asAbigail in a production ofThe Crucible[18] and offered her the chance to act professionally; she then dropped out to pursue an acting career.[12][19]
Career
Modeling and acting beginnings (1985–1989)
Thurman began her career as a fashion model at age 15,[20] and signed with the agency Click Models. Her early modeling credits includedGlamour and the December 1985 and May 1986 covers of BritishVogue.[21] She made the transition to acting with her film debut, the teen thrillerKiss Daddy Goodnight, which was released in 1987. Thurman was subsequently cast in three 1988 films —Johnny Be Good,The Adventures of Baron Munchausen and most notably,Dangerous Liaisons. In the comedyJohnny Be Good, she played the girlfriend of a top high school quarterback prospect, and inThe Adventures of Baron Munchausen, she made a brief appearance as the goddessVenus; during her entrance she briefly appears nude, in an homage toBotticelli'sThe Birth of Venus.
In the Oscar-winning dramaDangerous Liaisons, co-starringGlenn Close andJohn Malkovich, Thurman took on the role of a naive teenager, seduced by a manipulative man. The picture was an arthouse success, and garnered Thurman recognition from critics and audiences;[22][23] film criticRoger Ebert found her to be "well cast" in her "tricky" key role.[24] At the time, insecure about her appearance, she spent roughly a year inLondon, during which she often wore loose, baggy clothing.[21] Malkovich said of her, "There is nothing twitchy teenager-ish about her, I haven't met anyone like her at that age. Her intelligence and poise stand out. But there's something else. She's more than a little haunted."[25]
Early prominence andPulp Fiction (1990–1995)
In 1990, Thurman appeared withFred Ward andMaria de Medeiros inHenry & June, a sexually provocative drama about the relationship and affairs between writerHenry Miller and his wifeJune Miller in 1931 Paris. This film was the first to receive anNC-17 rating and partly because many American newspapers refused to advertise films with the new rating, it did not getwide release in the United States. However, it won Thurman good notices;The New York Times wrote: "Thurman, as the Brooklyn-accented June, takes a larger-than-life character and makes her even bigger, though the performance is often as curious as it is commanding."[26] After playingMaid Marian in the 1991 British adventure filmRobin Hood, Thurman began filmingDylan Thomas, a biopic on Welsh poetDylan Thomas starring her then-husbandGary Oldman with herself asCaitlin Thomas, however the project was shut down shortly after filming began.[27] Thurman went on to star as the patient of a San Francisco psychiatrist in theneo-noir dramaFinal Analysis (1992), oppositeRichard Gere andKim Basinger, and as a blind woman romantically involved with a former policeman in the thrillerJennifer 8 (also 1992), withAndy García.
InQuentin Tarantino's neo-noirblack comedyPulp Fiction (1994), Thurman playedMia Wallace, the wife of a Los Angeles mobster. Several actresses were considered for the role, but Tarantino wanted Thurman after their first meeting.[30] The film grossed $213.9 million worldwide[31] and received widespread acclaim, appearing on many critics' lists of thegreatest films ever made.[32] She dominated most of the movie's promotional material; Mia is considered one of the most iconic female film characters of the 1990s.[33][34]The Washington Post asserted that Thurman was "serenely unrecognizable in a black wig, [and] is marvelous as a zoned-out gangster's girlfriend".[35] For her performance, Thurman was nominated for theGolden Globe and theAcademy Award forBest Supporting Actress and launched into the celebrityA-list. She took little advantage of her new-found fame by choosing not to do any big-budget films for the next three years.[36] In a 2003 interview withTime magazine, Tarantino, who considers Thurman his muse, remarked that she was "up there withGarbo andDietrich in goddess territory".[37]
Established career (1996–2002)
Thurman's next films, the romantic dramedyBeautiful Girls, in which she played a fairly wise love interest, and the comedyThe Truth About Cats & Dogs, in which she top-billed as a ditzy blonde model, were modest commercial successes amid a positive critical response upon their theatrical releases in 1996.[38][39] In 1997, Thurman starred oppositeEthan Hawke inGattaca, a science fiction film set in a future society driven byeugenics where potential children are conceived through genetic manipulation.[40] The film received critical praise and became successful on thehome video market, despite lackluster box office receipts.[41][42] Her next film role was that of supervillainPoison Ivy inBatman & Robin (1997). Budgeted at $160 million,[43] the film grossed a modest $238 million worldwide[44] and is often considered to be[45] one of theworst films ever made.[46][47] Thurman's performance, however, was largely highlighted upon the film's release; theHouston Chronicle remarked that "Thurman [...] sometimes seems to be doingMae West by way ofJessica Rabbit",[48] and a similar comparison was made byThe New York Times: "[L]ike Mae West, she mixes true femininity with the winking womanliness of a drag queen".[49] She obtained aBlockbuster Entertainment Award for Best Sci-fi Actress and was also nominated for Favourite Movie Actress at theKids' Choice Awards.
Thurman took on the role ofFantine inLes Misérables, the 1998 film version ofVictor Hugo'snovel of the same name, directed byBille August. The film was considered an "intelligent, handsomely crafted adaptation" of the classic novel, according toRotten Tomatoes,[50] and on his review of the film, Roger Ebert expressed that "Thurman's performance is the best element" of the story.[51] That year, she also starred as a British secret agent inThe Avengers, a notable financial and critical flop;CNN described her as "so distanced you feel like you're watching her through the wrong end of a telescope".[52] In 1999, she performed in theater in an update ofMolière'sThe Misanthrope at theClassic Stage Company,[53] and portrayed a socialite inWoody Allen's romantic dramedySweet and Lowdown, oppositeSean Penn. Thurman was in a hiatus from acting at the time as she had her daughter in 1998, doing only a few small, low-budget projects after giving birth; she eventually turned down the role ofÉowyn inPeter Jackson'sThe Lord of the Rings film trilogy, which she considers "one of the worst decisions [she] ever made".[54]
Thurman headlined the period dramaThe Golden Bowl (2000), based on the 1904novel of the same name byHenry James.[55] In November 2000, she narrated theJohn Moran operaBook of the Dead (2nd Avenue) atThe Public Theater.[56] The historical dramaVatel (2000) saw Thurman playAnne de Montausier, the love interest of 17th-century French chefFrançois Vatel, and inRichard Linklater's real-time dramaTape (2001), she starred as the former girlfriend of a drug dealer and volunteer firefighter (Ethan Hawke). She was nominated for theIndependent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Female for her part inTape. Hawke directed her inChelsea Walls (2001), a drama revolving a number of artists as they spend a single day in New York's famed bohemian homeChelsea Hotel. Thurman would win a Golden Globe for her performance in theHBO cable filmHysterical Blindness (2002), where she was also one of the executive producers. Thurman played aNew Jersey woman in the 1980s searching for romance. In its review, theSan Francisco Chronicle remarked: "Thurman so commits herself to the role, eyes blazing and body akimbo, that you start to believe that such a creature could exist—an exquisite-looking woman so spastic and needy that she repulses regular Joes. Thurman has bent the role to her will."[57]
Renewed success withKill Bill (2003–2005)
Thurman reunited with Quentin Tarantino for thetwo-partmartial arts action filmKill Bill (2003–2004), portraying assassinBeatrix Kiddo, out for revenge against her former lover. Tarantino wrote the part specifically for her. He cited Thurman as hismuse while writing the film, and gave her joint credit for the character, whom the two conceived on the set ofPulp Fiction from the sole image of a bride covered in blood. Thurman's main inspiration for the role was the title character ofCoffy (played byPam Grier) and the character of Gloria Swenson fromGloria (played byGena Rowlands). She said that both of them are "two of the only women I've ever seen be truly women [while] holding a weapon".[58] Production was delayed for several months after Thurman became pregnant and Tarantino refused to recast the part.[59] The film took nine months to shoot, and was filmed in five different countries. The role was also her most demanding, and she spent three months training inmartial arts,swordsmanship, andJapanese.[60]Kill Bill was originally set to be released as one film, however, due to its long running time, it was ultimately released in two parts.[61] Both volumes scored highly with critics and audiences, subsequently developing acult following.Rolling Stone likened Thurman to "an avenging angel out of a 1940s Hollywood melodrama".[62] She was nominated for two Golden Globes for both entries, plus threeMTV Movie Awards forBest Female Performance and two forBest Fight.
By 2005, Thurman had a reported asking price of $12.5 million per film.[63] Besides the children's filmThe Naked Brothers Band: The Movie, in which Thurman had a cameo, she had three other major film releases throughout 2005. Her first film in the year was the crime-comedyBe Cool, the sequel to 1995'sGet Shorty, which reunited her with herPulp Fiction co-starJohn Travolta. Despite a lukewarm critical reception,[64] the film grossed $95 million.[65] She next starred in the romantic comedyPrime withMeryl Streep, playing a divorced and lonesome business-woman who enters a relationship with a much younger man (Bryan Greenberg). A modest mainstream success, it eventually grossed $67.9 million internationally.[66] In the remakeThe Producers (her last 2005 film), Thurman playedUlla, a Swedish stage actress hoping to win a part in a newBroadway musical. She is credited for her songs in the film. While box office receipts were modest, Thurman garnered acclaim from critics;A. O. Scott ofThe New York Times stated: "Thurman as a would-be actress is the one bit of genuine radiance in this aggressively and pointlessly shiny, noisy spectacle."[67]
Commercial fluctuations (2006–2011)
In 2006, Thurman starred oppositeLuke Wilson inMy Super Ex-Girlfriend, playing a superhero who is dumped by her boyfriend and then takes her revenge upon him. She received $14 million for the role, but the film was panned by critics and made a modest $61 million worldwide.[68]Entertainment Weekly wrote that it was a "miscalculation to make Thurman the antagonist. She does a sprightly satiric turn, but [it is] wasted in a movie that would rather tweak male paranoia than liberate a nerdette terrified of her powers".[69] In the 2007 filmThe Life Before Her Eyes, Thurman starred as an accident survivor whose guilt causes her present-day life to fall apart. It received a limited theatrical release and was dismissed by critics as "a confusing, painfully overwrought melodrama".[70]
Thurman at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival
In 2008, Thurman starred withColin Firth andJeffrey Dean Morgan inThe Accidental Husband, a romantic comedy where she played a woman who finds herself married while engaged to another man.[71] Despite theatrical runs abroad, the film was released on DVD in North America due to financial problems with its distributor. She also took on the role of a cocaine addict in the British television dramaMy Zinc Bed, which garnered what was considered poor ratings, especially given her involvement.[72][73]
In 2009'sMotherhood, she starred as aNew York City mother whose dilemmas of marriage, work, and self are shown in the trials and tribulations of one pivotal day. "I've never really played a realistic mom before," she said.[74] Distributed for a limited release to certain parts of the United States only, the independent dramedy garnered just $93,388 in three weeks of release.[75] About Thurman's character and its place in the overall film,New York Times critic A. O. Scott wrote that "Eliza is scattered, ambivalent, flaky and inconsistent—all of which is fine, and energetically conveyed by Ms. Thurman. But what are tolerable quirks in a person can be deadly to a narrative [...] the movie stumbles from loose and scruffy naturalism to sitcom tidiness".[76] Thurman filmed a brief role in the fantasy adaptationPercy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010), appearing asMedusa, agorgon cursed by Athena.
In 2011, she was a member of the jury for the main competition at theCannes Film Festival,[9] and her only film in the year—Ceremony—was released for VOD and selected theaters after its initial screening at the2010 Toronto International Film Festival.[77] In the independent comedy, she starred as woman on the eve of her wedding who re-connects with an old fling (played byMichael Angarano).[78] By that time, she had taken on the roles of a powerful and wealthy mistress in the period dramaBel Ami (2012), a trophy wife in the romantic comedyPlaying for Keeps (2012), and that ofLois Lane in a segment of the anthology filmMovie 43 (2013);[79] all films were panned by critics and flopped at the box office.[80][81] Writing for theNew York Daily News in her review forCeremony, Elizabeth Weitzman noted: "She gets stuck in so many small, undeserving projects, one has to wonder who's mapping out her career".[82]
Transition to television and Broadway debut (2012–2018)
Thurman ventured into television in 2012, when she joined the cast of the drama seriesSmash in its first season, portraying the five-episode role ofRebecca Duvall, a Hollywood actress who wants to star in a new Broadway musical, despite having limited musical ability.[83] Her performance garnered critical acclaim, withThe A.V. Club writing: "Uma Thurman is a lot of fun. She gives that character some pop, playing both the shallow, demanding side of celebrity [...] and the sincere, talented side [...]".[84] She earned aPrimetime Emmy Award nomination forOutstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series.
Thurman appeared in theVolume I ofLars von Trier's two-part ensemble art dramaNymphomaniac (2013) as Mrs. H, a rejected wife who confronts her estranged husband. Despite her limited screen time in the film,[85][86][87]Rolling Stone remarked that she was "sensational" in a role that defies "[von Trier]'s mixed feelings about female power",[7] whileVanity Fair found her to be "downright terrific", noting that she "lends the character [...] a good deal of dignity".[88] For her part, she received aBodil Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress, and in 2014, she won theBAMBI Award for Best International Actress.[89]
In 2015, Thurman starred on the NBC miniseriesThe Slap,[90] the American adaptation of the Australian series of thesame name about the fallout after a man slaps another couple's misbehaving child,[91] and played a famed restaurant critic named Simone in the dramaBurnt, starringBradley Cooper.[92] In 2017, Thurman took on the recurring role of a fixer on theBravo dark comedy seriesImposters,[93] which ran for two seasons,[94] and was named president ofCannes Film Festival "Un Certain Regard" jury for "works which offer a unique perspective and aesthetic".[95]
Thurman made her Broadway debut inThe Parisian Woman, a play written byBeau Willimon.[96] Set inWashington, D.C., the production saw her star as a socialite coming to terms with politics, her past, her marriage and an uncertain future.[97] The play ran for 141 performances, including previews, between November 2017 and March 2018,[98] garnering a mixed critical response and what was described as "strong" box-office returns byPlaybill.[99]The New York Times remarked: "Unlike many actors whose expertise derives from movies, [Thurman] has no trouble fully inhabiting, and projecting, even a jury-rigged character like [hers]. Her intelligence and, it has to be said, her innate glamour, make it possible to care about someone you do not believe in".[100] For her role, she won the Broadway.com Audience Award for Favorite Leading Actress in a Play.
The Con Is On, an independent heist comedy Thurman filmed in 2015,[101] oppositeTim Roth,[102] was released on May 4, 2018.[103] Both actors played a con-artist couple planning a jewel heist in Los Angeles, after escaping from a notorious Russian gangster.[104] She reunited with director Lars von Trier to play the first victim of a serial killer during the 1980s in his psychological horror filmThe House That Jack Built,[105][106] which premiered on May 14, 2018, at theCannes Film Festival.[107] In her next film, the supernatural thrillerDown a Dark Hall (2018), directed byRodrigo Cortés, Uma portrayed the role of Madame Duret, the eccentric headmistress of a mysterious school for troubled girls. In its review for the latter film,Variety noted that she "cuts an elegant figure [...] but her somewhat unconvincing villain could have used more notes of mystery and wit".[108]
Television and film roles (2019–present)
Thurman played a grieving mother in theNetflix supernatural horror seriesChambers, which was released on April 26, 2019.[109][110][111] Alex McLevy, writing forThe A.V.

Kill Bill car crash
In the same 2018New York Times interview, Thurman described how she had been in a serious car accident back in 2003 on the set ofKill Bill, because Tarantino had insisted she perform her own driving stunts.[182] Two weeks after the crash, she tried to see footage of the incident. Thurman stated that Miramax would only agree to show her the footage if she signed a contract "releasing them of any consequences of my future pain and suffering", which she refused.[182] As a result of the crash, she sustained permanent injuries to her neck and knees.[182] Tarantino later called this incident "the biggest regret of his life".[183] Thurman later clarified onInstagram that Tarantino had apologized to her for the incident and that she has since forgiven him,[184][185] being open to working with him again.[186]
