Uma Karuna Thurman

She would win a Golden Globe award for her acting in HBO cable movie Hysterical Blindness; she was also one of the executive producers. Thurman played a New Jersey woman in the 1980s searching for romance. The San Francisco Chronicle review said, "Thurman so commits herself to the role, eyes blazing and body akimbo, that you start to believe that such a creature could exist—an exquisite-looking woman so spastic and needy that she repulses regular Joes. Thurman has bent the role to her will."
In 2000, she narrated the John Moran opera Book of the Dead (2nd Avenue) at New York's Public Theater.
• 2003–present
In 2003 Thurman co-starred in John Woo's Paycheck, which was only moderately successful with critics and at the box office.
