01:59Tarantino's two-part martial arts film, Kill Bill, released in late 2003 and early 2004,

02:08relaunched Thurman's career.

02:10The production of the movie was delayed by several months due to Thurman's pregnancy.

02:15However, Tarantino refused to recast her part.

02:18The entire movie was shot in nine months in five different countries.

02:23Interestingly, the fact is that Thurman gets nervous in closed spaces

02:27and being buried alive in Kill Bill, she considered as a completely horrific experience.

02:43The same year, she won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress

02:47in the miniseries or television film for the HBO series Historical Blindness.

02:53Well, Thurman is not famous for her tumultuous private life, but still, it is quite complicated.

02:59She met actor Gary Oldman on the set of State of Grace.

03:03The couple got married in 1990.

03:06However, the relationship did not last very long, and the duo filed for divorce in two years.

03:12She started dating Ethan Hawke, whom she had met for the first time in the Gattaca movie set.

03:17The couple tied the knot on May 1st, 1998, when Thurman was about seven months pregnant.

03:36Their daughter has six names, Arusland, Arusha, Akaradina, Altlun, Florence, Thurman, Busson.

03:44And her nickname is Luna.

03:45This is because she wouldn't get to have any more children, so she gave every name that she liked to Luna.

03:51In 2014, the couple split, and rumors of Uma's affair with Quentin began circulating in the press.

03:58However, that was never confirmed or denied by them.

04:01In 2018, Uma Thurman joined the Me Too movement,

04:05and she then accused notorious producer Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment.

04:11She stated that she was very dissatisfied with her previous agents,

04:15who ignored the humiliating behavior of a well-known producer.

04:19And she couldn't forgive Quentin Tarantino's negligence during Kill Bill filming,

04:24when as a result, she got into a car accident.

04:27What seems clear is that Uma has learned from all of the ups and downs

04:31of a life rich in experience.

04:33And she is relieved now to have reached a place where she no longer feels

04:38under pressure to prove herself.
