She starred in several more films throughout the 1990s such as ''The Truth About Cats & Dogs'', ''Batman & Robin'', ''Gattaca'' and ''Les Misérables''. She won a Golden Globe Award for the miniseries ''Hysterical Blindness'' (2002). Her career was revitalized when she reunited with director Quentin Tarantino to play the main role in both ''Kill Bill'' films (2003/2004) which brought her an additional two Golden Globe Award nominations with a BAFTA Award nomination. == Early life == Thurman was born in Boston, Massachusetts. Her forename Uma, Sanskrit उमा,〔 〕 meaning "splendour, light", is a name of Parvati,〔(Uma Thurman profile: news, photos, style, videos and more – HELLO!

Her father, Robert Alexander Farrar Thurman, is a professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies; an academic and writer, he lived as an ordained Buddhist monk for three years. Her mother, Nena von Schlebrügge, was a noblewoman of Baroness virtue and a high-fashion model, discovered in Stockholm, who moved to New York at the age of 17 to join the Ford Modelling Agency. Thurman's mother was born in Mexico City, Mexico, of German, Swedish and Danish descent, while Thurman's father was born in New York, and has English, Scottish and Irish ancestry.〔http://www.wargs.com/other/thurman.html〕 Thurman received a Buddhist upbringing, and spent altogether around two years in the Indo-Himalayan town of Almora.〔 〕 She now considers herself to be an agnostic.〔 She grew up mostly in Amherst, Massachusetts, where she went to Amherst Regional Middle School, then moved to Woodstock, New York. She has three brothers, Ganden (b. 1968), Dechen (b. 1973), and Mipam (b. 1978), and a half-sister named Taya (b. 1960), from her father's previous marriage. Thurman's first cousin, once removed, is Swedish football player Max von Schlebrügge. Thurman is described as having been an awkward and introverted girl who was teased for her tall frame, angular bone structure, enormous feet and unusual name (sometimes using the name "Uma Karen" instead of her birth name). When Thurman was 10 years old, a friend's mother suggested a nose job.〔 As a child, she suffered bouts of body dysmorphic disorder.〔Kahn, Sherry. ("Golden Girl Uma admits to having Body Dysmorphic Disorder" ), Talksurgery, May 15, 2001, accessed August 16, 2010.〕 She attended Amherst Public Schools. In the eighth grade she discovered her love for acting. Talent scouts noticed her performance as Abigail in a production of ''The Crucible''〔Schoumatoff, Alex. ("The life and career of Uma Thurman" ), ''Vanity Fair'', January 1996.〕 and offered her the chance to act professionally. Thurman attended Northfield Mount Hermon School, a preparatory school in Massachusetts, before dropping out to pursue a career in acting.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Uma Thurman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
