Uma Thurman is an American actress. Beginning her career as a model, she later rose to the global stardom after the collaboration with notable director Quentin Tarantino on his Pulp Fiction and two-part epic Kill Bill.
Background
Ethnicity:
Uma is of mixed descent which explains her exotic looks.
Uma Thurman was born on April 29, 1970 in Boston, Massachusetts, United States, to Robert Thurman, a Buddhist writer and academic, and Nena von Schlebrugge, a model. She and her siblings all have names deriving from Buddhist mythology.
Education
Thurman attended Northfield Mount Hermon, a college preparatory boarding school in Northfield, Massachusetts, where she received her first acting experiences in school plays. She was unathletic and earned average grades in school, but excelled in acting from a young age. It was after performing in a production of The Crucible that she was noticed by talent scouts, and was persuaded to act professionally. Thurman left her high school to pursue an acting career in New York City and to attend the Professional Children's School where she dropped out before graduating.
Thurman began her career as a fashion model at age 15. She made her film debut in Kiss Daddy Goodnight (1987), a low budget thriller. Her first well-known role was as Venus in Terry Gilliams’s The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988). Wearing only hair extensions in her brief performance as the Roman goddess of love, the alluring young actress went on to take a number of sexually charged roles over the next few years.
At age 18, she bared all in Dangerous Liasons (1988), a big-budget period piece starring John Malkovich and Glenn Close, and in 1989 starred in Henry and June, the first film to be released with an NC-17 (No Children Under 17) rating.
After appearing in a number of marginally successful Hollywood movies, she stepped off the beaten track to appear in Pulp Fiction (1994), the second movie by acclaimed independent director Quentin Tarantino. For her nuanced performance as a glamorous underworld moll, she was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award. Thurman capitalized on the popular success of Pulp Fiction by appearing in a series of big-budget productions including Gattaca (1997), Batman and Robin (1997), Les Miserables (1998) and The Avengers (1998).
After a series of big budget projects, Thurman took a more "independent" tack, favoring a series of riskier projects including Woody Allen’s Sweet and Lowdown (1999), a Merchant/Ivory production of Henry James’ The Golden Bowl (2000) and Chelsea Walls (2001), directed by then-husband Ethan Hawke.
In 2003, she starred in Quentin Tarantino’s two-volume epic Kill Bill as a vengeful sword slashing assassin. The actress also starred with Ben Affleck in the sci-fi thriller Paycheck. With 2005’s The Producers, Thurman took on musical comedy with Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick.
But her humor missed its mark with My Super Ex-Girlfriend (2006), which proved to be a commercial and critical disappointment. Directed by Griffin Dunne, 2008’s The Accidental Husband also explored love and revenge. It featured Thurman as a radio talk show host who convinces a woman to break up with her boyfriend.
Thurman has also taken on a variety of roles, from playing a mythic monster in Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010) to a powerful Parisian woman in Bel Ami (2012). In Bel Ami, Thurman plays one of Robert Patterson’s love interests. She also had a recurring television role around this time, appearing on the musical drama Smash.
In 2013, Thurman collaborated with Lars von Trier starring in the first part of his drama Nymphomaniac. Two years later, she appeared again on the small screen in the NBC miniseries The Slap. Another notable picture of the time was John Wells's drama Burnt where Thurman co-starred Bradley Cooper. In 2017, Uma Thurman presided "Un Certain Regard" jury of the Cannes Film Festival.
In autumn of 2017, Thurman debuted on Broadway playing the leading part in Pam MacKinnon's stage interpretation of Beau Willimon's play The Parisian Woman shown at the Hudson Theatre till the spring of 2018. Thurman’s performance was warmly met by critics.
The recent released projects where Uma Thurman starred in include Lars von Trier’s The House That Jack Built, Rodrigo Cortés's thriller Down a Dark Hall, and Henrik Ibsen's Ghosts staged at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in August 2019.

Quotations:
"Desperation is the perfume of the young actor. It's so satisfying to have gotten rid of it. If you keep smelling it, it can drive you crazy. In this business a lot of people go nuts, go eccentric, even end up dead from it. Not my plan."
"I've been doing this [acting] for years and years and years, and people say things nice and they say things mean, and it's just like, whatever. You take the good with the bad."
"Even, today, when people tell me I'm beautiful, I do not believe a word of it."
"Before I had my child, I thought I knew all the boundaries of myself, that I understood the limits of my heart. It's extraordinary to have all those limits thrown out, to realize your love is inexhaustible."
"I've learned that every working mom is a superwoman."
"I'm very happy at home. I love to just hang out with my daughter, I love to work in my garden. I'm not a gaping hole of need."
"It is better to have a relationship with someone who cheats on you than with someone who does not flush the toilet."
"It is technically a failure when you don't try."
"Boredom is a great motivator."
"Change is usually preceded by some kind of drift."
Personality
Uma Thurman was named after a Hindu goddess.
Physical Characteristics:
