An actress noted as much for her exotic,
almost otherworldly beauty as she is for
her considerable talent, Uma Thurman is
one of the most renowned actors of her
generation. The daughter of celebrated
professor of Buddhist studies Robert F.A.
Thurman and Nena von Schlebrugge,
a model and psychotherapist who was once
married to Timothy Leary, Uma was born in
Boston on April 29, 1970.
