Uma Thurman Nude

Uma Karuna Thurman is an American actress and model who has starred in a variety of films, from romantic comedies and dramas to science fiction and action movies. She was born in Boston, Massachusetts on April 29, 1970 to Robert Alexander Farrar Thurman, a New York-born professor and Buddhist writer, and Nena von Schlebrügge, a model of German, Swedish and Danish descent. Growing up, Thurman and her siblings spent time in the Himalayan town of Almora, Uttarakhand, India, and were visited by the Dalai Lama. She attended Amherst Public Schools and Northfield Mount Hermon School, a preparatory school in Massachusetts, before dropping out to pursue a career in acting. Thurman's breakthrough role came in 1994 when she starred in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, for which she was nominated for an Academy Award, a BAFTA Award and a Golden Globe Award. She went on to star in several more films throughout the 1990s, such as The Truth About Cats & Dogs, Batman & Robin, Gattaca and Les Misérables. 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 central role in two Kill Bill films (2003/2004), which brought her an additional two Golden Globe Award nominations and a BAFTA Award nomination. As a child, Thurman suffered bouts of body dysmorphic disorder, which she discussed in an interview with Talk magazine in 2001.
