==Career==
===Modeling and acting beginnings (1985–1989)===
Thurman began her career as a fashion model at age 15,<ref>"Uma on Men, Movies and Motherhood", ''Harper's Bazaar'', March 1998.</ref> and signed with the agency Click Models. Her early modeling credits included ''[[Glamour (magazine)|Glamour]]'' and the December 1985 and May 1986 covers of British ''[[Vogue (magazine)|Vogue]]''.<ref name=biochannel>[http://www.thebiographychannel.co.uk/biography_story/882:1170/1/Uma_Thurman.htm "Uma Thurman Biography"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070919002020/http://www.thebiographychannel.co.uk/biography_story/882:1170/1/Uma_Thurman.htm |date=September 19, 2007 }}, Biography Channel.

Thurman was subsequently cast in three 1988 films — ''[[Johnny Be Good]]'', ''[[The Adventures of Baron Munchausen]]'' and most notably, ''[[Dangerous Liaisons]]''. In the comedy ''Johnny Be Good'', she played the girlfriend of a top high school quarterback prospect, and in ''The Adventures of Baron Munchausen'', she made a brief appearance as the goddess [[Venus (mythology)|Venus]]; during her entrance she briefly appears nude, in an homage to [[Sandro Botticelli|Botticelli]]'s ''[[The Birth of Venus (Botticelli)|The Birth of Venus]]''. 

In the Oscar-winning drama ''Dangerous Liaisons'', co-starring [[Glenn Close]] and [[John Malkovich]], Thurman took on the role of a naive teenager, seduced by a manipulative man. The picture was an arthouse success, and garnered Thurman recognition from critics and audiences;<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1005199_dangerous_liaisons|title=Dangerous Liaisons (1988)|access-date=April 29, 2017|website=[[Rotten Tomatoes]]|date=December 11, 1988 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1988/12/30/movies/new-face-uma-thurman-prospects-in-liaisons-were-awesome-at-first.html|url-status=live|title=New Face: Uma Thurman; Prospects in 'Liaisons' Were Awesome at First|date=December 30, 1998|access-date=September 23, 2021|work=[[The New York Times]]|last1=Blau|first1=Eleanor|url-access=registration|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201229181719/https://www.nytimes.com/1988/12/30/movies/new-face-uma-thurman-prospects-in-liaisons-were-awesome-at-first.html|archive-date=December 29, 2020}}</ref> film critic [[Roger Ebert]] found her to be "well cast" in her "tricky" key role.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/dangerous-liaisons-1989|title=Dangerous Liaisons|date=January 13, 1989|access-date=April 29, 2017|publisher=RogerEbert.com}}</ref> At the time, insecure about her appearance, she spent roughly a year in [[London]], during which she often wore loose, baggy clothing.<ref name="biochannel" /> Malkovich said of her, "There is nothing twitchy teenager-ish about her, I haven't met anyone like her at that age.

===Early prominence and ''Pulp Fiction'' (1990–1995)===
In 1990, Thurman appeared with [[Fred Ward]] and [[Maria de Medeiros]] in ''[[Henry & June]]'', a sexually provocative drama about the relationship and affairs between writer [[Henry Miller]] and his wife [[June Miller]] in 1931 Paris. This film was the first to receive an [[NC-17]] rating and partly because many American newspapers refused to advertise films with the new rating, it did not get [[wide release]] in the United States. However, it won Thurman good notices; ''The New York Times'' wrote: "Thurman, as the Brooklyn-accented June, takes a larger-than-life character and makes her even bigger, though the performance is often as curious as it is commanding."<ref>{{cite news|last=Maslin|first=Janet|title=Review/Film; A Writer's Awakening to the Erotic|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1990/10/05/movies/review-film-a-writer-s-awakening-to-the-erotic.html|url-status=live|work=The New York Times|date=October 5, 1990|access-date=September 23, 2021|url-access=registration|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210405211235/https://www.nytimes.com/1990/10/05/movies/review-film-a-writer-s-awakening-to-the-erotic.html|archive-date=April 5, 2021}}</ref> After playing [[Maid Marian]] in the 1991 British adventure film ''[[Robin Hood (1991 British film)|Robin Hood]]'', Thurman began filming ''Dylan Thomas'', a biopic on Welsh poet [[Dylan Thomas]] starring her then-husband [[Gary Oldman]] with herself as [[Caitlin Thomas]], however the project was shut down shortly after filming began.<ref>{{cite news|last=Dworkin|first=Susan|date=November 8, 1992|title=A Vicious Undertaking|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1992/11/08/magazine/a-vicious-undertaking.html|url-status=live|work=The New York Times|url-access=registration|access-date=September 23, 2021|archive-url=https://archive.today/20210320002451/https://www.nytimes.com/1992/11/08/magazine/a-vicious-undertaking.html|archive-date=March 20, 2021}}</ref> Thurman went on to star as the patient of a San Francisco psychiatrist in the [[neo-noir film|neo-noir]] drama ''[[Final Analysis]]'' (1992), opposite [[Richard Gere]] and [[Kim Basinger]], and as a blind woman romantically involved with a former policeman in the thriller ''[[Jennifer 8]]'' (also 1992), with [[Andy García]].

Thurman portrayed a young woman with unusually big thumbs in [[Gus Van Sant]]'s [[Even Cowgirls Get the Blues (film)|1993 adaptation]] of [[Tom Robbins]]' novel ''[[Even Cowgirls Get the Blues (novel)|Even Cowgirls Get the Blues]]''. The film was a critical and commercial failure, eventually earning Thurman a [[Golden Raspberry Award]] nomination for [[Golden Raspberry Awards|Worst Actress]]. ''The Washington Post'' described her acting as shallow and remarked: "Thurman's strangely passive characterization doesn't go much deeper than drawling and flexing her prosthetic thumbs".<ref>Brown, Joe (May 20, 1994).

Thurman reunited with Quentin Tarantino for the [[List of films split into multiple parts|two-part]] [[martial arts film|martial arts]] action film ''[[Kill Bill]]'' (2003–2004), portraying assassin [[Beatrix Kiddo]], out for revenge against her former lover.

He cited Thurman as his [[muse]] while writing the film, and gave her joint credit for the character, whom the two conceived on the set of ''Pulp Fiction'' from the sole image of a bride covered in blood. Thurman's main inspiration for the role was the title character of ''[[Coffy]]'' (played by [[Pam Grier]]) and the character of Gloria Swenson from ''[[Gloria (1980 film)|Gloria]]'' (played by [[Gena Rowlands]]). She said that both of them are "two of the only women I've ever seen be truly women [while] holding a weapon".<ref>{{cite web|last=Downey|first=Ryan J.|title=What Made 'Bill' Kill: Quentin's Blood-Spattered Rundown |url=https://www.mtv.com/news/1488333/what-made-bill-kill-quentins-blood-spattered-rundown/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141030100204/http://www.mtv.com/news/1488333/what-made-bill-kill-quentins-blood-spattered-rundown/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=October 30, 2014 |publisher=MTV|access-date=January 19, 2022 |date=June 10, 2004}}</ref> Production was delayed for several months after Thurman became pregnant and Tarantino refused to recast the part.<ref name="killbilldvd">Kill Bill Vol. 1, DVD bonus featurette</ref> The film took nine months to shoot, and was filmed in five different countries.
