Uma Thurman in "My Super Ex-Girlfriend"

Uma Thurman is a rare gem in Hollywood: she's beautiful and talented. Because her father was a Buddhist monk, Uma was influenced by the Buddhist mindset of free-thinking from a very young age and is highly respected within the film world for her continued practice. After delivering a performance worthy of the standing ovation she received in a school play, Uma soon decided that she wanted to be an actor, but was still highly skeptical of being physically accepted due to years of constant teasing she received in school for her uncommon looks.
After moving to New York and working at her share of bad jobs, Uma was picked up as a model before finally landing her first gig as a vampire in the low-budget production, "Kiss Daddy Goodnight." Uma's breakthrough came in the intensely erotic "Dangerous Liaisons" with John Malkovich, gaining her critical acclaim all across the board as a refreshingly capable actress. After getting her feet wet with a few other films that didn't fare nearly as well, Uma fell off the Hollywood map until she was cast by Quentin Tarantino in the incredibly successful "Pulp Fiction," for which she as honored with an Academy Award nomination. Since her rebirth in 1994, Uma has developed into a leading lady known for her random occurrences of coming-and-going and her diverse taste in choosing scripts. Whatever it is that keeps Uma fresh and sexy in everything she does, it's working.

Latest Buzz

Uma Says
On the whole Hollywood scene:
"My ambitions have been raised as I have less to lose. I feel I could do anything and if people don't like it, then I'll go on to try something else. You see your friends go up and down the ladder, but it's such a temporal way to look at things. If you're a slave to the fame game then it's a really ugly universe. That's not my mission - and I feel fantastic."
On the role of women in films:
"Most films these days are men's stories. Women are for add-on romance. That's very hard."
On dating:
"It is better to have a relationship with someone who cheats on you than with someone who does not flush the toilet."
