Uma Thurman Essentials

Uma Thurman is one of Hollywood's enigma actresses. Just as easily as she does a small art house movie, she does a big blockbuster, and just as she seems to be everywhere, she disappears into obscurity. This beautiful and talented actress has always kept her fans (and her producers) wondering about which direction she will go in her next film: incest, glamour, murder, deceit, or pure evil.

Uma Karuna Thurman was born April 29, 1970, in Boston, Massachusetts. Her mother Nena is a former psychotherapist while her father Robert A.F. Thurman is a Tibetan Buddhist monk.
