Uma Thurman

"Tall, sandy blonde, with sort of blue eyes, skinny in places, fat in others. An average gal."

Date of Birth: April 29, 1970

Birthplace: Boston, Massachusetts

After earning recognition as one of Hollywood's A-list actresses as the eccentric Mia Wallace in Pulp Fiction, Uma entered the realm of Gotham City as the venemous Poison Ivy in Batman and Robin. Her cold-blooded killing only brought her more fame when she became the star kung fu villain in Kill Bill. She lit up theatres again looking hotter than ever as Luke Wilson's ex with super powers in My Super Ex-Girlfriend.

Uma Thurman has the finest set of legs in Hollywood. Plus, of course, she is beautiful, talented and smart. Too bad she can't cook, though; we were ready for a proposal.

Uma Karuna Thurman was born April 29, 1970, in Boston, Massachusetts, and had an eccentric, multicultural upbringing. Her mother, Nena, is a half-Swedish, half-German former psychotherapist, while her father, Robert A.F. Thurman, is a Tibetan Buddhist monk and a University of Columbia professor. Uma was named after a Hindu deity that is the "bestower of blessings."

As a teenager, Uma did not fit in. As if her name wasn't different enough, she was lanky and awkward as a child. Her long nose, which today only adds a unique touch to her beautiful face, was part of her misery. Rather than taking part in the typical all-American extracurricular activities, Uma had better things to do: act.

After receiving a standing ovation while involved in an elementary school theater production, Uma caught the acting bug and knew this was what she wanted to do with her life. She packed up, and like most aspiring models and actors, she headed for New York -- she didn't even stick around long enough to become a high school graduate.

While in New York, Uma was forced to work odd jobs, including washing dishes and modeling -- a more glamorous day job. It didn't take long for Uma to trade in her dishwashing gloves for scripts, as she landed her first feature film role in 1988's Johnny Be Good. Uma was on the verge of beginning her career and was about to take on a string of sexual film roles.
