Uma Karuna Thurman
Born April 29, 1970 in Boston, USA.
Nena, Uma's mother, was married to Timothy Leary before her marriage to Robert Thurman. Uma's father was the first American to become a Tibetan monk. He is now chairman of the religion department at Columbia University. Buddhist monks constantly visited the house, and one day the Dalai Lama, who was on good terms with Robert Truman, came to visit them. The name "Uma" means "blessed gift" in Indian.
At the age of fifteen, Uma left for New York with the sole goal of becoming an actress.
First she worked as a dishwasher, then as a model.
And at the age of 16, she received her first film role in the 1987 film Kiss Daddy Goodnight.
The film failed, but the young actress was noticed and played several more roles.
The film where Uma's partner was John Malkovich ("Dangerous Liaisons") brought her first fame.
Then she went to England for some time.
Returning to Hollywood, she played the role of Henry Miller's wife in Henry and June.
The next film, “Final Analysis,” where she played alongside Richard Gere and Kim Basinger, made many directors take a closer look at her. Previously, they only noticed Uma’s unconditional sexuality, but now they also saw her acting talent.
In 1990, Thurman married famous actor Gary Oldman, but two years later the family broke up.
In 1994, Thurman became one of the nominees for an Oscar for best performance in a supporting role (Pulp Fiction).
In 1997, on the set of the film “Gattaca,” Uma met actor Ethan Hawke, whom she married in May 1998, and in July they had a daughter, who was named Maya Ray.
In 1998, she played in the film adaptation of Victor Hugo's work "Les Miserables" and in the film "The Avengers" along with Sean Connery.
