Description: Uma Thurman, born Uma Karuna Thurman to Robert and Nena Thurman in Boston, Massachusetts, on April 29, 1970. Uma grew up in Amherst, Massachusetts, where her father worked at Amherst College. She left boarding school at just 15, already determined to become an actress. She moved to New York to follow her dream. A breakthrough role for the tall, blonde actress came when she played Cecile de Volanges in Las amistades peligrosas (1988). More attention came with the NC-17 rated Henry & June (El diario íntimo de Anaïs Nin) (1990), but it was Thurman's role in the Quentin Tarantino classic Pulp Fiction (1994) that earned her Uma Thurman, born Uma Karuna Thurman to Robert and Nena Thurman in Boston, Massachusetts, on April 29, 1970. Uma grew up in Amherst, Massachusetts, where her father worked at Amherst College. She left boarding school at just 15, already determined to become an actress.

A breakthrough role for the tall, blonde actress came when she played Cecile de Volanges in Las amistades peligrosas (1988). More attention came with the NC-17 rated Henry & June (El diario íntimo de Anaïs Nin) (1990), but it was Thurman's role in the Quentin Tarantino classic Pulp Fiction (1994) that earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Donning a short black wig to play femme fatale Mia Wallace opposite John Travolta's hit man Vincent Vega, Thurman earned a place in film history.

After roles in La verdad sobre perros y gatos (1996) and the Ted Demme film Beautiful Girls (1996), Thurman met her future husband Ethan Hawke on the set of Gattaca (1997).

Thurman returned to smaller films after playing the villainess Poison Ivy in the reviled Joel Schumacher effort Batman y Robin (1997) and Emma Peel in a remake of Los vengadores (1998). She worked with Woody Allen and Sean Penn on Acordes y desacuerdos (1999), and starred in Richard Linklater's drama La cinta (2001) opposite Hawke. Thurman also won a Golden Globe award for her turn in the made-for-television film Ciegas de amor (2002), directed by Mira Nair.

A return to the mainstream spotlight came when Thurman redeemed with Quentin Tarantino for Kill Bill. Volume 1 (2003), a revenge flick the two had dreamed up on the set of Pulp Fiction (1994). She also turned up in the John Woo cautioner Paycheck (2003) that same year.

My Fancast for ExpendaBelles (45 movies items)

"I think it's obvious why I'd choose "Kill Bill" star Uma Thurman as a potential candidate to join the Expendabelles. Seems most people who have been making fancastings have been putting her as one of their picks, though I'd choose to reserve her for a later installment."
