Quentin Tarantino responds to Uma Thurman's allegations
Are Uma and Tarantino friends?
Thurman's three most-known films, Pulp Fiction, and Kill Bill Volumes 1 and 2, were directed by Tarantino, who was her friend, and professional collaborator. At the time, Thurman was also the director's muse, with Tarantino even comparing their relationship to that between Alfred Hitchcock and Tippi Hedren.
Uma Thurman was only 24 years old when she starred in Pulp Fiction as Mia Wallace, the wife of gang boss Marsellus Wallace who seamlessly dances the twist, overdoses on heroin and takes a shot of adrenaline straight to the heart all in one night.
Having previously starred in Tarantino's breakthrough movie and Palme d'Or winner, Pulp Fiction, Thurman became a favourite of the filmmaker, casting her as the star of the only film series he has ever put together.
Hawke and Thurman first met on the set of sci-fi film Gattaca in 1996. By 1998, they were married and had welcomed daughter Maya Hawke. Four years later in 2002, they welcomed their son Levon. But by 2003, the pair announced their separation, later divorcing in 2005.
In his younger years, the director was first arrested for stealing a book from a Californian bookstore, which ironically ended up being a crime novel. He later racked up over $7000 in parking ticket fines and neglected to pay them. “I was actually in jail three different times for tickets.
Uma Thurman said she'd work with Quentin Tarantino again despite 'Kill Bill' onset accident that injured her. Uma Thurman said that despite getting into an accident that permanently injured her on the set of "Kill Bill: Vol. 2," she'd still work with the film's director, Quentin Tarantino.
Uma Thurman and the Price of Being a Muse. In an interview with The New York Times, the actress reveals that it wasn't just Harvey Weinstein who wronged her, it was also Quentin Tarantino — the director who called her his muse.
She also had to learn Japanese. Thurman says, "I did my best. That was the first thing I started was way before shooting, I would sit down with the Japanese tutor and like try to pick up Japanese and get used to speaking in the language."
As a result of the crash, she sustained permanent injuries to her neck and knees. Tarantino later called this incident "the biggest regret of his life". Thurman later clarified on Instagram that Tarantino had apologized to her for the incident and that she has since forgiven him, being open to working with him again.
Its title is a reference to American actress Uma Thurman's character Mia Wallace dancing with John Travolta's character Vincent Vega in an iconic scene of the film Pulp Fiction. Thurman; who is a fan of the band, gave permission for them to use her name. “I'm so flattered, it's so nice,” Thurman said.
By the time she was 16, Thurman left school to pursue an acting career, making her film debut in "Kiss Daddy Goodnight" (1987), a low-budget thriller in which she played a young seductress who lures unsuspecting men with the promise of sex, only to drug and rob them.
It's been 15 years since Uma Thurman and Quentin Tarantino last worked together for Kill Bill: Volume 2. But the director and his muse remain friends, regardless of their rocky professional history.
When it came to jotting down who he wanted for the characters, Tarantino opted for Michael Madsen, with whom he'd already worked on Reservoir Dogs in 1992, and Laurence Fishburne. He also wrote down Jackson for the role of Marcellus Wallace, a character who was ultimately played by his first choice – Ving Rhames.
Why is Mia Wallace (Uma Thurman) the only one on the poster ? Because the "pulp fiction" paperback books the movie is patterned after typically featured a sexy woman on the cover. The prominent position of the gun alerts the reader that there will be plenty of violence as well.
Although he had been acting in small roles and in theatre productions, it was not until he was 40 years old that he received his first major role in Do the Right Thing (1989) and he was 45 when he became a star with Pulp Fiction (1994).
