From the Publisher
Uma Thurman, the statuesque muse of Quentin Tarantino, is at the peak of her career. Daughter of an eminent Buddhist scholar and a psychotherapist, she left school at 15 to pursue an acting career in New York. After a brief stint as a model, she gained recognition in films like Dangerous Liaisons and Henry and June. In 1990, she married the gifted British actor Gary Oldman, but their marriage was troubled and short–lived. In the early 1990s, with her career stalled, she accepted a part in Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction—one of the most successful, talked–about films of the decade; it garnered Thurman a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination and boosted her career. On the set of the sci–fi thriller Gattaca, she met actor Ethan Hawke, whom she married in 1998. But her career once again went into decline, with a string of box–office flops. Back in top form after the birth of her second child, and her subsequent separation from Hawke, she gave an electrifying performance as a wronged bride on a rampage of revenge in Quentin Tarantino’s 2003 film Kill Bill. Now, Lucy Ellis and Bryony Sutherland look at Uma Thurman’s rise to fame as well as what lies ahead for this mesmerizing star.
