April 29th, 2008 - Happy Birthday Uma Thurman!
By Allie | April 29, 2008
Uma Karuna Thurman (born April 29, 1970) is an Academy Award-nominated American actress.
She’s 38!
She performs predominantly in leading roles in a variety of films, ranging from romantic comedies and dramas to science fiction and action thrillers.
She is best known for her films directed by Quentin Tarantino. Her most popular films include Dangerous Liaisons (1988), Pulp Fiction (1994), Gattaca (1997) and the two Kill Bill movies (2003–04).
She is currently the “face” of Virgin Media in the United Kingdom and, along with Scarlett Johansson, models handbags and other fashion items for clothes designer Louis Vuitton. At 6 feet (1.8 m) tall, she is one of the tallest actresses in Hollywood.
Thurman began her career as a fashion model at the age of 15. She signed with the agency Click Models. Uma followed in the footsteps of her mother, who was also a fashion model. Standing almost six feet tall with a naturally lanky frame, Thurman was an immediate success, and her modeling credits included Glamour Magazine.
Thurman made her movie debut in 1988, appearing in a total of four films that year. Her first two were the high school comedy Johnny Be Good and the teen thriller Kiss Daddy Goodnight at the age of 17, but both films were only marginally successful and failed to gain her notice.
Personal Life:
In October 2007, Thurman was said to be engaged to Arpad Busson, supermodel Elle Macpherson’s former partner, whom she had been dating since summer 2007. However, contrary to these reports, Thurman’s representatives have asserted that she and Busson are not engaged and currently have no marriage plans. Thurman and Macpherson used to be friends before the first got engaged to Busson.
Though Thurman was raised a Buddhist and still identifies with Buddhism, she considers herself agnostic.
