Uma Karuna Thurman, American movie actress, started her film career while still a teenager. One of her earliest roles was in the 1987 movie, Kiss Daddy Goodnight. Other notable roles include the wife of Henry Miller inHenry and June which purports to chronicle the triangle between Miller, his wife, and the poet/writer Anais Nin. Her femme fatale role in Pulp Fiction alongside John Travolta has only increased her popularity.
Her unusual first and middle names mean "bestower of blessings" and "compassion", and these qualities have, at times, burst from the screen she so gracefully inhabits.
At 5'11, she's one of the tallest of the Virgins.
