Uma Thurman
Uma Karuna Thurman (born April 29, 1970)[1] is an
American actress and model. She has performed in
leading roles in a variety of films, ranging from romantic comedies and dramas to science fiction and action
movies. Following early roles in films such as Dangerous
Liaisons (1988), she rose to international prominence in
1994 following her role in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction for which she was nominated for an Academy Award,
a BAFTA Award and a Golden Globe Award. She starred
in several more films throughout the 1990s such as The
Truth About Cats & Dogs, Batman & Robin, Gattaca and
Les Misérables.
she discovered her love for acting. Talent scouts noticed
her performance as Abigail in a production of The Crucible[7] and offered her the chance to act professionally.
Thurman attended Northfield Mount Hermon School, a
preparatory school in Massachusetts, before dropping out
to pursue a career in acting.[2][8]
2 Career
2.1 1985–89: Early work
She won a Golden Globe Award for the miniseries
Hysterical Blindness (2002). Her career was revitalized
when she reunited with director Quentin Tarantino to
play the main role in both Kill Bill films (2003/2004)
which brought her an additional two Golden Globe Award
nominations and a BAFTA Award nomination.

Thurman began her career as a fashion model at age 15,[9]
and signed with the agency Click Models. Her early modeling credits included Glamour and the December 1985
and May 1986 covers of British Vogue.[10] She made her
movie debut in 1988, appearing in four films that year.
Her first two were the high school comedy Johnny Be
Good and teen thriller Kiss Daddy Goodnight. She had
a small role in The Adventures of Baron Munchausen,
playing the goddess Venus alongside Oliver Reed's Vulcan; during her entrance she briefly appears nude, in an
homage to Botticelli's The Birth of Venus. The most acclaimed of these first four films was Oscar-winning drama
Dangerous Liaisons, in which Thurman’s character of Cecile de Volanges is seduced by the manipulative Vicomte
de Valmont (John Malkovich). At the time, insecure
about her appearance, she spent roughly a year in London,
during which she often wore loose, baggy clothing.[10]
Malkovich said of her “there is nothing twitchy teenagerish 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.”[11]
Early life
Thurman was born in Boston, Massachusetts. Her father, Robert Alexander Farrar Thurman, a New Yorkborn professor, is a Buddhist writer and academic. Her
mother, Nena von Schlebrügge, is a model who was born
in Mexico City, Mexico, of German, Swedish and Danish descent. During her childhood, Thurman and her
siblings spent time in the Himalayan town of Almora,
Uttarakhand, India, where the Dalai Lama, to whom
Robert Thurman has long been close, once visited their
home.[2] She grew up mostly in Amherst, Massachusetts,
where she went to Amherst Regional Middle School, then
moved to Woodstock, New York. While her father gave
his children a Buddhist upbringing, she has one of the
Hindu goddess Parvati's alternative names, “Uma”, which
means “light” in Sanskrit.[3][4] Regarding religion, she
now calls herself agnostic.[5] She has three brothers, Ganden (b. 1968), Dechen (b. 1973), and Mipam (b. 1978),
and a half-sister named Taya (b. 1960), from her father’s
previous marriage. She is described as having been an
awkward and introverted girl who was teased for her tall
frame, angular bone structure, enormous feet and unusual
name (sometimes using the name “Uma Karen” instead
of her birth name). When Thurman was 10 years old, a
friend’s mother suggested a nose job.[2] As a child, she
suffered bouts of body dysmorphic disorder, which she
discussed in an interview with Talk magazine in 2001.[6]
She attended Amherst Public Schools. In the eighth grade
2.2 1990–93: Career prominence
In 1990, Thurman appeared with Fred Ward and Maria
de Medeiros in the sexually provocative drama Henry &
June, the first film to receive an NC-17 rating. Partly because many American newspapers refused to advertise
films with the new rating, it did not get wide release in
the United States, but the film won her some 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”.[12]
In 1993, she was for the first time the main star in Gus
Van Sant's 1993 adaptation of Tom Robbins' novel Even

Cowgirls Get the Blues. It was a critical and financial disappointment; Thurman was nominated for a Worst Actress Razzie. The Washington Post described her acting as shallow, writing that, “Thurman’s strangely passive
characterization doesn't go much deeper than drawling
and flexing her prosthetic thumbs”.[13] She also starred
opposite Robert De Niro in the drama Mad Dog and
Glory, another box office disappointment. Later that
year, Thurman auditioned for Stanley Kubrick while he
was casting for the unmade film Wartime Lies. Her agent
said she described working with Kubrick as a “really bad
experience.”[14]
2.3
CAREER
of the same name, directed by Bille August, in which she
played Fantine. On his review of the film, Roger Ebert
said that “Thurman’s performance is the best element of
the movie.”
1994–98: Continued success
After Mad Dog and Glory, Thurman auditioned for the
Quentin Tarantino movie Pulp Fiction, which grossed
over $107 million on a budget of only $8 million.[15]
The Washington Post wrote that Thurman was “serenely
unrecognizable in a black wig, [and] is marvelous as a
zoned-out gangster’s girlfriend.”[16] Thurman was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Oscar the following Thurman at Cannes, 2000
year. She became one of Tarantino’s favorite actresses to
cast; he told Time magazine in 2003 that she was “up there
with Garbo and Dietrich in goddess territory.”[17]
1996 would see Thurman in two moderately successful
films, the first of which was Beautiful Girls, where she
played the female lead and love interest of Timothy Hutton and was supported with a high-profile cast (for that
time) of Mira Sorvino, Martha Plimpton, and Natalie
Portman. The film was well received by the critics for the
script and acting, particularly that of Hutton and Portman. It performed moderately well at the box office.
Thurman also starred opposite Janeane Garofalo in the
moderately successful 1996 romantic comedy The Truth
About Cats & Dogs as a ditzy blonde model. In 1997, she
starred opposite her future husband Ethan Hawke in the
science fiction film Gattaca. Although Gattaca was not a
success at the box office, it drew many positive reviews
and became successful on the home video market.[18]
Some critics were not as impressed with Thurman, such
as The Los Angeles Times, which wrote that she was “as
emotionally uninvolved as ever.”[19]
Her next role was Poison Ivy in Batman & Robin, the
fourth of the series. Her performance received mixed reviews, and critics compared her to Mae West. The New
York Times wrote, “like Mae West, she mixes true femininity with the winking womanliness of a drag queen.”[20]
A similar comparison was made by the Houston Chronicle: “Thurman, to arrive at a '40s femme fatale, sometimes seems to be doing Mae West by way of Jessica
Rabbit.”[21] The next year brought The Avengers, another
major financial and critical flop. CNN described her as
“so distanced you feel like you’re watching her through
the wrong end of a telescope.”[22] She received Razzie
Award nominations for both films. She closed out 1998
with Les Misérables, a film version of Victor Hugo's novel
2.4 1998–2002: Hiatus
After the birth of her first child in 1998, Thurman took
a break from acting to concentrate on motherhood. Her
next roles were in low-budget and television films, including Vatel, Tape, in which she appeared with then husband
Ethan Hawke and for which she was nominated for the
Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Female,
and Chelsea Walls, directed by Hawke.
She would win a Golden Globe award for her acting in
HBO cable movie Hysterical Blindness; she was also one
of the executive producers. Thurman played a New Jersey woman in the 1980s searching for romance. The San
Francisco Chronicle review said, “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.”[23]
In 2000, she narrated the John Moran opera Book of the
Dead (2nd Avenue) at New York’s Public Theater.
2.5 2003–present
In 2003 Thurman co-starred in John Woo's Paycheck,
which was only moderately successful with critics and at
the box office.
It would be Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill which relaunched
her career. She played assassin Beatrix Kiddo, out for revenge against her former lover. Tarantino wrote the part
specifically for her. He cited Thurman as his muse while

writing the film, and gave her joint credit for the character, whom the two conceived on the set of Pulp Fiction
from the sole image of a bride covered in blood. Production was delayed for several months after Thurman became pregnant, as Tarantino refused to recast the part.[24]
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 in martial
arts, swordsmanship, and Japanese.[25] It was originally
set to be released as one film. However due to its over
4-hour running time, it was ultimately released in two
parts and became a cult classic[26] and scored highly with
critics. Thurman was nominated for a Golden Globe for
both entries, plus three MTV Movie Awards for Best Female Performance and two for Best Fight. Rolling Stone
likened her to “an avenging angel out of a 1940s Hollywood melodrama”.[27]
the sequel to 1995’s Get Shorty, which reunited her with
her Pulp Fiction castmate John Travolta. In the film, she
played the widow of a deceased music business executive.
The film received poor reviews, and came in below expectations at the box office. In 2005, she starred in Prime
with Meryl Streep, playing a woman in her late thirties romancing a man in his early twenties. Thurman’s last film
of the year was a remake of The Producers in which she
played Ulla, a Swedish stage actress hoping to win a part
in a new Broadway musical. Originally, the producers
of the film planned to have another singer dub in Thurman’s musical numbers, but she was eager to do her own
vocals.[29] She is credited for her songs in the credits. The
film was considered a bomb at the box office, but many
praised Thurman’s efforts, including A. O. Scott of The
New York Times who said: “Uma Thurman as a would-be
actress is the one bit of genuine radiance in this aggressively and pointlessly shiny, noisy spectacle.”[30]
At the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival
Thurman with Quentin Tarantino attending Pulp Fiction's 20th
anniversary tribute at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival
The inspirations for The Bride were several B-movie action heroines. Thurman’s main inspiration for the role
was the title character of Coffy (played by Pam Grier)
and the character of Gloria Swenson from Gloria (played
by Gena Rowlands). She said that the two characters are
“two of the only women I've ever seen be truly women
[while] holding a weapon”.[28] Coffy was screened for
Thurman by Tarantino prior to beginning production on
the film, to help her model the character.[24]
With a successful film career, Thurman once again became a desired model. Cosmetics company Lancôme
selected her as its spokeswoman. It also named several
shades of lipstick after her, though they were sold only
in Asia. In 2005, Thurman became a spokeswoman for
the French fashion house Louis Vuitton. On February 7,
2006, she was also named a knight of the Ordre des Arts
et des Lettres of France for outstanding achievement in
the
field of art and literature.
By 2005, Thurman was commanding a salary of $12.5
million per film. Her first film of the year was Be Cool, In May 2006, Thurman bought the film rights to the Frank

Schätzing novel The Swarm, which is in development and
due for release in 2015.[31] When the film remake The
Women was in pre-production in 2006, Thurman was
cast as Crystal Allen, alongside Annette Bening, Julia
Roberts, Meg Ryan, Sandra Bullock, Ashley Judd, Lisa
Kudrow and Anne Hathaway, being directed by James
L. Brooks, but the director was changed and Thurman
was no longer part of the cast. In July 2006, she starred
opposite Luke Wilson in My Super Ex-Girlfriend. Thurman portrayed a super-heroine named “G-Girl” who is
dumped by her boyfriend and then takes her revenge upon
him. She received a reported $14 million for the role, but
the film flopped. Once again she was well-received, but
the film was not.
In February 2008, she starred opposite Colin Firth and
Jeffrey Dean Morgan in The Accidental Husband, a romantic comedy about a woman who finds herself married
while engaged to another man. It seems like archetypal Hollywood contrivance, but according to Thurman,
a similar situation happened in New York.[32] Also in
2008, she starred as Elsa in the British film My Zinc Bed,
in which she plays a cocaine addict, starring opposite
Paddy Considine and Jonathan Pryce. In 2010, her movie
Motherhood garnering just £88 on 11 tickets on its opening weekend.[33] In the United States it earned $93,388 in
three weeks of release.[34]

In 2011, Thurman was a member of the jury for the main
competition at the Cannes Film Festival.[35] In Decemhow the axe comes down and how people behave and

On May 1, 1998, she married actor Ethan Hawke, whom
she met on the set of their 1997 film Gattaca. Hawke’s
novel Ash Wednesday is dedicated to “Karuna”, Thurman’s middle name.[38] She acknowledged that they had
married because she was pregnant – seven months at
their wedding.[39] The marriage produced two children:
daughter Maya Ray, born in 1998, and son Levon, born
in 2002. The couple separated in 2003,[40] and the divorce was finalized in August 2005.[41] When asked on
The Oprah Winfrey Show whether the break-up involved
betrayal, she said, “There was some stuff like that at the
end. We were having a difficult time, and you know
Activism and charity work
Thurman has been involved in various philanthropic and
activist causes. She supports the United States Democratic Party, and has given money to the campaigns of
John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, and Joseph R. Driscoll.[47]
She supports gun control laws, and in 2000, she participated in Marie Claire’s “End Gun Violence Now”
campaign.[48] She is a member of the board of Room

Uma Karuna Thurman (born April 29, 1970)[1] is an
American actress and model. She has performed in
leading roles in a variety of films, ranging from romantic comedies and dramas to science fiction and action
movies. Following early roles in films such as Dangerous
Liaisons (1988), she rose to international prominence in
1994 following her role in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction for which she was nominated for an Academy Award,
a BAFTA Award and a Golden Globe Award. She starred
in several more films throughout the 1990s such as The
Truth About Cats & Dogs, Batman & Robin, Gattaca and
Les Misérables.
she discovered her love for acting. Talent scouts noticed
her performance as Abigail in a production of The Crucible[7] and offered her the chance to act professionally.
Thurman attended Northfield Mount Hermon School, a
preparatory school in Massachusetts, before dropping out
to pursue a career in acting.[2][8]
2 Career
2.1 1985–89: Early work
She won a Golden Globe Award for the miniseries
Hysterical Blindness (2002). Her career was revitalized
when she reunited with director Quentin Tarantino to
play the main role in both Kill Bill films (2003/2004)
which brought her an additional two Golden Globe Award
nominations and a BAFTA Award nomination.
1
Thurman began her career as a fashion model at age 15,[9]
and signed with the agency Click Models. Her early modeling credits included Glamour and the December 1985
and May 1986 covers of British Vogue.[10] She made her
movie debut in 1988, appearing in four films that year.
Her first two were the high school comedy Johnny Be
Good and teen thriller Kiss Daddy Goodnight. She had
a small role in The Adventures of Baron Munchausen,
playing the goddess Venus alongside Oliver Reed's Vulcan; during her entrance she briefly appears nude, in an
homage to Botticelli's The Birth of Venus. The most acclaimed of these first four films was Oscar-winning drama
Dangerous Liaisons, in which Thurman’s character of Cecile de Volanges is seduced by the manipulative Vicomte
de Valmont (John Malkovich). At the time, insecure
about her appearance, she spent roughly a year in London,
during which she often wore loose, baggy clothing.[10]
Malkovich said of her “there is nothing twitchy teenagerish 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.”[11]
Early life
Thurman was born in Boston, Massachusetts. Her father, Robert Alexander Farrar Thurman, a New Yorkborn professor, is a Buddhist writer and academic. Her
mother, Nena von Schlebrügge, is a model who was born
in Mexico City, Mexico, of German, Swedish and Danish descent. During her childhood, Thurman and her
siblings spent time in the Himalayan town of Almora,
Uttarakhand, India, where the Dalai Lama, to whom
Robert Thurman has long been close, once visited their
home.[2] She grew up mostly in Amherst, Massachusetts,
where she went to Amherst Regional Middle School, then
moved to Woodstock, New York. While her father gave
his children a Buddhist upbringing, she has one of the
Hindu goddess Parvati's alternative names, “Uma”, which
means “light” in Sanskrit.[3][4] Regarding religion, she
now calls herself agnostic.[5] She has three brothers, Ganden (b. 1968), Dechen (b. 1973), and Mipam (b. 1978),
and a half-sister named Taya (b. 1960), from her father’s
previous marriage. She is described as having been an
awkward and introverted girl who was teased for her tall
frame, angular bone structure, enormous feet and unusual
name (sometimes using the name “Uma Karen” instead
of her birth name). When Thurman was 10 years old, a
friend’s mother suggested a nose job.[2] As a child, she
suffered bouts of body dysmorphic disorder, which she
discussed in an interview with Talk magazine in 2001.[6]
She attended Amherst Public Schools. In the eighth grade
2.2 1990–93: Career prominence
In 1990, Thurman appeared with Fred Ward and Maria
de Medeiros in the sexually provocative drama Henry &
June, the first film to receive an NC-17 rating. Partly because many American newspapers refused to advertise
films with the new rating, it did not get wide release in
the United States, but the film won her some 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”.[12]
In 1993, she was for the first time the main star in Gus
Van Sant's 1993 adaptation of Tom Robbins' novel Even

Cowgirls Get the Blues. It was a critical and financial disappointment; Thurman was nominated for a Worst Actress Razzie. The Washington Post described her acting as shallow, writing that, “Thurman’s strangely passive
characterization doesn't go much deeper than drawling
and flexing her prosthetic thumbs”.[13] She also starred
opposite Robert De Niro in the drama Mad Dog and
Glory, another box office disappointment. Later that
year, Thurman auditioned for Stanley Kubrick while he
was casting for the unmade film Wartime Lies. Her agent
said she described working with Kubrick as a “really bad
experience.”[14]
2.3
CAREER
of the same name, directed by Bille August, in which she
played Fantine. On his review of the film, Roger Ebert
said that “Thurman’s performance is the best element of
the movie.”
1994–98: Continued success
After Mad Dog and Glory, Thurman auditioned for the
Quentin Tarantino movie Pulp Fiction, which grossed
over $107 million on a budget of only $8 million.[15]
The Washington Post wrote that Thurman was “serenely
unrecognizable in a black wig, [and] is marvelous as a
zoned-out gangster’s girlfriend.”[16] Thurman was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Oscar the following Thurman at Cannes, 2000
year. She became one of Tarantino’s favorite actresses to
cast; he told Time magazine in 2003 that she was “up there
with Garbo and Dietrich in goddess territory.”[17]
1996 would see Thurman in two moderately successful
films, the first of which was Beautiful Girls, where she
played the female lead and love interest of Timothy Hutton and was supported with a high-profile cast (for that
time) of Mira Sorvino, Martha Plimpton, and Natalie
Portman. The film was well received by the critics for the
script and acting, particularly that of Hutton and Portman. It performed moderately well at the box office.
Thurman also starred opposite Janeane Garofalo in the
moderately successful 1996 romantic comedy The Truth
About Cats & Dogs as a ditzy blonde model. In 1997, she
starred opposite her future husband Ethan Hawke in the
science fiction film Gattaca. Although Gattaca was not a
success at the box office, it drew many positive reviews
and became successful on the home video market.[18]
Some critics were not as impressed with Thurman, such
as The Los Angeles Times, which wrote that she was “as
emotionally uninvolved as ever.”[19]
Her next role was Poison Ivy in Batman & Robin, the
fourth of the series. Her performance received mixed reviews, and critics compared her to Mae West. The New
York Times wrote, “like Mae West, she mixes true femininity with the winking womanliness of a drag queen.”[20]
A similar comparison was made by the Houston Chronicle: “Thurman, to arrive at a '40s femme fatale, sometimes seems to be doing Mae West by way of Jessica
Rabbit.”[21] The next year brought The Avengers, another
major financial and critical flop. CNN described her as
“so distanced you feel like you’re watching her through
the wrong end of a telescope.”[22] She received Razzie
Award nominations for both films. She closed out 1998
with Les Misérables, a film version of Victor Hugo's novel
2.4 1998–2002: Hiatus
After the birth of her first child in 1998, Thurman took
a break from acting to concentrate on motherhood. Her
next roles were in low-budget and television films, including Vatel, Tape, in which she appeared with then husband
Ethan Hawke and for which she was nominated for the
Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Female,
and Chelsea Walls, directed by Hawke.
She would win a Golden Globe award for her acting in
HBO cable movie Hysterical Blindness; she was also one
of the executive producers. Thurman played a New Jersey woman in the 1980s searching for romance. The San
Francisco Chronicle review said, “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.”[23]
In 2000, she narrated the John Moran opera Book of the
Dead (2nd Avenue) at New York’s Public Theater.
2.5 2003–present
In 2003 Thurman co-starred in John Woo's Paycheck,
which was only moderately successful with critics and at
the box office.
It would be Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill which relaunched
her career. She played assassin Beatrix Kiddo, out for revenge against her former lover. Tarantino wrote the part
specifically for her. He cited Thurman as his muse while

writing the film, and gave her joint credit for the character, whom the two conceived on the set of Pulp Fiction
from the sole image of a bride covered in blood. Production was delayed for several months after Thurman became pregnant, as Tarantino refused to recast the part.[24]
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 in martial
arts, swordsmanship, and Japanese.[25] It was originally
set to be released as one film. However due to its over
4-hour running time, it was ultimately released in two
parts and became a cult classic[26] and scored highly with
critics. Thurman was nominated for a Golden Globe for
both entries, plus three MTV Movie Awards for Best Female Performance and two for Best Fight. Rolling Stone
likened her to “an avenging angel out of a 1940s Hollywood melodrama”.[27]
the sequel to 1995’s Get Shorty, which reunited her with
her Pulp Fiction castmate John Travolta. In the film, she
played the widow of a deceased music business executive.
The film received poor reviews, and came in below expectations at the box office. In 2005, she starred in Prime
with Meryl Streep, playing a woman in her late thirties romancing a man in his early twenties. Thurman’s last film
of the year was a remake of The Producers in which she
played Ulla, a Swedish stage actress hoping to win a part
in a new Broadway musical. Originally, the producers
of the film planned to have another singer dub in Thurman’s musical numbers, but she was eager to do her own
vocals.[29] She is credited for her songs in the credits. The
film was considered a bomb at the box office, but many
praised Thurman’s efforts, including A. O. Scott of The
New York Times who said: “Uma Thurman as a would-be
actress is the one bit of genuine radiance in this aggressively and pointlessly shiny, noisy spectacle.”[30]
At the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival
Thurman with Quentin Tarantino attending Pulp Fiction's 20th
anniversary tribute at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival
The inspirations for The Bride were several B-movie action heroines. Thurman’s main inspiration for the role
was the title character of Coffy (played by Pam Grier)
and the character of Gloria Swenson from Gloria (played
by Gena Rowlands). She said that the two characters are
“two of the only women I've ever seen be truly women
[while] holding a weapon”.[28] Coffy was screened for
Thurman by Tarantino prior to beginning production on
the film, to help her model the character.[24]
With a successful film career, Thurman once again became a desired model. Cosmetics company Lancôme
selected her as its spokeswoman. It also named several
shades of lipstick after her, though they were sold only
in Asia. In 2005, Thurman became a spokeswoman for
the French fashion house Louis Vuitton. On February 7,
2006, she was also named a knight of the Ordre des Arts
et des Lettres of France for outstanding achievement in
the
field of art and literature.
By 2005, Thurman was commanding a salary of $12.5
million per film. Her first film of the year was Be Cool, In May 2006, Thurman bought the film rights to the Frank

3 PERSONAL LIFE
Schätzing novel The Swarm, which is in development and
due for release in 2015.[31] When the film remake The
Women was in pre-production in 2006, Thurman was
cast as Crystal Allen, alongside Annette Bening, Julia
Roberts, Meg Ryan, Sandra Bullock, Ashley Judd, Lisa
Kudrow and Anne Hathaway, being directed by James
L. Brooks, but the director was changed and Thurman
was no longer part of the cast. In July 2006, she starred
opposite Luke Wilson in My Super Ex-Girlfriend. Thurman portrayed a super-heroine named “G-Girl” who is
dumped by her boyfriend and then takes her revenge upon
him. She received a reported $14 million for the role, but
the film flopped. Once again she was well-received, but
the film was not.
In February 2008, she starred opposite Colin Firth and
Jeffrey Dean Morgan in The Accidental Husband, a romantic comedy about a woman who finds herself married
while engaged to another man. It seems like archetypal Hollywood contrivance, but according to Thurman,
a similar situation happened in New York.[32] Also in
2008, she starred as Elsa in the British film My Zinc Bed,
in which she plays a cocaine addict, starring opposite
Paddy Considine and Jonathan Pryce. In 2010, her movie
Motherhood garnering just £88 on 11 tickets on its opening weekend.[33] In the United States it earned $93,388 in
three weeks of release.[34]
Thurman in 2011 at Cannes Film Festival
In 2011, Thurman was a member of the jury for the main
competition at the Cannes Film Festival.[35] In Decemhow the axe comes down and how people behave and
ber 2011, James Hibberd of Entertainment Weekly rehow people express their unhappiness.”[41] In a 2004

a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress
Thurman began dating London-based French financier
in a Drama Series.
Arpad Busson in 2007, and they announced their engagement in June 2008.[42] In late 2009, they called off their
engagement,[43] but reconciled soon after.[44] Thurman

the engagement for the second time in April 2014.[46]
Thurman met actor Gary Oldman on the set of State

3.2
later.[37]
On May 1, 1998, she married actor Ethan Hawke, whom
she met on the set of their 1997 film Gattaca. Hawke’s
novel Ash Wednesday is dedicated to “Karuna”, Thurman’s middle name.[38] She acknowledged that they had
married because she was pregnant – seven months at
their wedding.[39] The marriage produced two children:
daughter Maya Ray, born in 1998, and son Levon, born
in 2002. The couple separated in 2003,[40] and the divorce was finalized in August 2005.[41] When asked on
The Oprah Winfrey Show whether the break-up involved
betrayal, she said, “There was some stuff like that at the
end. We were having a difficult time, and you know
Activism and charity work
Thurman has been involved in various philanthropic and
activist causes. She supports the United States Democratic Party, and has given money to the campaigns of
John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, and Joseph R. Driscoll.[47]
She supports gun control laws, and in 2000, she participated in Marie Claire’s “End Gun Violence Now”
campaign.[48] She is a member of the board of Room
to Grow, a charitable organization providing aid to families and children born into poverty.[49] She serves on the
