Uma Karuna Thurman (born April 29, 1970) is an American actress. She has performed in leading roles in a variety of films, ranging from romantic comedies and dramas, to science fiction and action movies. She is best known for her work under the direction of Quentin Tarantino. Her most popular films include Dangerous Liaisons (1988), Pulp Fiction (1994), Gattaca (1997) and Kill Bill (2003–2004). As a child, she suffered bouts of body dysmorphic disorder, which she discussed in an interview with Talk magazine in 2001. and offered her the chance to act professionally. Thurman moved to New York City for high school to pursue acting and to attend the Professional Children's School, but dropped out before graduating.

Relationships

Thurman met English actor Gary Oldman on the set of State of Grace, and they were married in 1990, but it ended two years later. She dated hotelier Andre Balazs from 2004 to 2006, and was engaged to London-based financier Arpad Busson, She was praised by her co-star John Malkovich, who said of her, "There is nothing twitchy teenager-ish about her, I haven’t met anyone like her at that age. Her intelligence and poise stand out. But there’s something else. She’s more than a little haunted."]] After Mad Dog and Glory, Thurman auditioned for Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, which grossed over $107 million on a budget of only $8 million.

By 2005, Thurman was commanding a salary of $12.5 million per film. Her first film of the year was Be Cool, the sequel to 1995's Get Shorty, which reunited her with her Pulp Fiction castmate John Travolta. In the film, she played the widow of a deceased music business executive. The film received poor reviews, and came in below expectations at the box office. In 2005, she starred in Prime with Meryl Streep, playing a woman in her late thirties romancing a man in his early twenties. Thurman's last film of the year was a remake of The Producers in which she played Ulla, a Swedish stage actress hoping to win a part in a new Broadway musical. Originally, the producers of the film planned to have another singer dub in Thurman's musical numbers, but she was eager to do her own vocals.Nominated—Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress - Motion PictureNominated—BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting RoleNominated—Chicago Film Critics Association Award for Best Supporting ActressNominated—Chlotrudis Award for Best Supporting ActressNominated—MTV Movie Award for Best PerformanceNominated—Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role |- | 1995 | | Miss Beaumont | |- | 1996 | | Noelle | |- | 1996 | Beautiful Girls | Andera | |- | 1996 | Duke of Groove | Maya | TV film |- | 1997 | Gattaca | Irene Cassini | |- | 1997 | Batman & Robin | Dr. Pamela Isley/Poison Ivy | |- | 1998 | Les Misérables | Fantine | |- | 1998 | | Emma Peel | |- | 1999 | Sweet and Lowdown | Blanche | |- | 2000 | Vatel | Anne de Montausier | |- | 2000 | | Charlotte Stant | |- | 2001 | Tape | Amy Randall | |- | 2001 | Chelsea Walls | Grace | |- | 2002 | Hysterical Blindness | Debby Miller | ProducerGolden Globe Award for Best Actress, TV Mini-series |- | 2003 | Paycheck | Dr. Rachel Porter | |- | 2003 | Kill Bill Volume 1 | The Bride/Black Mamba | Saturn Award for Best ActressMTV Movie Award for Best PerformanceNominated—Golden Globe Award for Best Actress - Motion Picture DramaNominated—BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role |- | 2004 | Kill Bill Volume 2 | Beatrix Kiddo/The Bride/Black Mamba/Mommy | MTV Movie Award for Best FightNominated—Golden Globe Award for Best Actress - Motion Picture DramaNominated—MTV Movie Award for Best Performance |- | 2005 | Be Cool | Edie Athens | |- | 2005 | Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind | Kushana (Voice) | English re-dub version of 1984 movie |- | 2005 | Prime | Rafi Gardet | |- | 2005 | | Ulla | |- | 2006 | My Super Ex-Girlfriend | Jenny Johnson/G-Girl | Nominated—People's Choice Awards Nominated - MTV Movie Award for Best Fight |- | 2008 | | Diana | |- | 2008 | | Emma Lloyd | also Producer |- | 2008 | My Zinc Bed | Elsa Quinn | |- | 2008 | | Joy | TV film |- | 2009 | Motherhood | Eliza Welsh | |- | 2010 | | Medusa | |- | 2010 | Ceremony | Zoe | filming |- | 2011 | Bel Ami | Madeleine Forestier | filming |}

Daryl Christine Hannah (born December 3, 1960) is an American film actress. After making her screen debut in 1978, Hannah starred in a number of Hollywood films throughout the 1980s, notably Blade Runner, Splash, Wall Street, and Roxanne, and in 2003 appeared in Kill Bill.

Early life

Hannah was born in Chicago, Illinois, the daughter of Susan Wexler, a producer, and Don Hannah, a tugboat and barge company owner. Her parents divorced shortly after her birth and her mother subsequently married Jerrold Wexler, a businessman and brother of Haskell Wexler, a cinematographer. She grew up with siblings Don and Page Hannah and half-sister Tanya Wexler, in Long Grove, Illinois.

Hannah is missing part of her left index finger, having lost it in an accident at age three.

Hannah became interested in movies at a young age, partly due to insomnia. She was very shy and diagnosed as borderline autistic. Hannah attended the progressive Francis W. Parker School (where she played on the soccer team) before enrolling at the University of Southern California.

Career

Hannah made her film debut in 1978 with a brief appearance in Brian De Palma's horror film The Fury. She turned down many roles early on in her career, including the role of Emmeline Lestrange for The Blue Lagoon (that ultimately went to Brooke Shields). Her first notable role came as the acrobatic and violent replicant Pris in Ridley Scott's 1982 science fiction classic Blade Runner, in which she performed some of her own gymnastic stunts. That same year she appeared in the summer hit release Summer Lovers. She then was cast as a blonde mermaid in Ron Howard's 1984 fantasy Splash, which starred Tom Hanks and was a major financial success, establishing Hannah as a high-profile film actress.

Hannah's successes in the remainder of the 1980s ranged from Steel Magnolias and the Academy Award-winning Wall Street (for which she received her Razzie Award) to the 1986 film version of the best-seller The Clan of the Cave Bear. Also in 1986 Hannah co-starred with Robert Redford and Debra Winger in Legal Eagles. She starred in the title role of Fred Schepisi's 1987 film Roxanne, a modern retelling of Edmond Rostand's play Cyrano de Bergerac, a performance described as "sweet" and "gentle" by film critic Roger Ebert.

She also appeared in The Pope of Greenwich Village with co-stars Mickey Rourke and Eric Roberts and played the daughter of Jack Lemmon's character in both of the Grumpy Old Men comedies. In 1995, Hannah was chosen by Empire magazine as #96 of the "100 Manliest Stars in Film History." That year she appeared as homicidal sociopath Leann Netherwood in The Tie That Binds. Of her most recent roles, the most memorable may be that of the one-eyed assassin Elle Driver in Kill Bill, directed by Quentin Tarantino. Her performance in this film and her appearances in Speedway Junky, Northfork, Michael Radford's Dancing at the Blue Iguana, John Sayles' Casa de los Babys and Silver City, have been described by some as a comeback.

Hannah wrote, directed and produced a short film, "The Last Supper," which won an award at the Berlin Film Festival. She directed, produced and was cinematographer for the documentary Strip Notes. It aired on Channel 4 in the UK and on HBO and was about the research Hannah did for her role as a stripper in Dancing at the Blue Iguana. Hannah currently has several projects in post-production, including Shannon's Rainbow and A Closed Book.

She appeared in Robbie Williams' video for the song "Feel", portraying Williams' love interest.

Daryl Hannah is also well known as a theatre actress appearing in Seven Year Itch and reprising Marilyn Monroe's staring role in 2000 at London's West End, although reviews of the plays most commened Daryl Hannah's performance as good with Lizzie Loveridge of Curtain Up! saying that the play was the "perfect vehicle" for Daryl to "show her talents as a comedienne. She was also in the plays Cord and First Target in the same year.

Personal life

Hannah and actress Hilary Shepard Turner created two board games, "Love It Or Hate It" and "LIEbrary", with Hannah previewing the latter on Ellen DeGeneres' talk show in 2005.

Hannah, an active environmentalist, has her own weekly video blog called DHLoveLife on sustainable solutions. She is often the sound recordist, camera person and on-screen host for the blog. Her home runs on solar power and is built with green materials. She drives a car that runs on biodiesel. In late 2006, she volunteered to act as a judge for Treehugger.com's "Convenient Truths" contest. On December 4, 2008, Hannah joined Sea Shepherd's crew aboard the MV Steve Irwin, as part of Operation Musashi. at the Academy Awards 1988]] Hannah has never married, although she had long-term relationships with singer Jackson Browne and John F. Kennedy, Jr. She is the sister-in-law of music producer Lou Adler, who is married to Hannah's sister, Page.

On June 13, 2006, Hannah was arrested, along with Taran Noah Smith, for her involvement with over 350 farmers, their families and supporters, confronting authorities trying to bulldoze the nation's largest urban farm in South Central Los Angeles. She chained herself to a walnut tree at the South Central Farm for three weeks to protest the farmers' eviction by the property's new owner. The farm had been established in the wake of the 1992 LA riots to allow people in the city to grow food for themselves. However, the land's new owner, who had paid $5 million for it, sought to evict the farmers to build a warehouse. He had asked for $16 million to sell it but turned down the offer when the activists raised that amount. Hannah was interviewed via cell phone shortly before she was arrested, along with 44 other protesters, and said that she and the others are doing the "morally right thing". She spent some time in jail.

Hannah has also worked to help end sexual slavery and has been traveling around the world to make a documentary.

Daryl Hannah was among 31 people arrested on June 23, 2009 in a protest against mountaintop removal in southern West Virginia, part of a wider campaign to stop the practice in the region. The protesters, who also included NASA climate scientist James E. Hansen, were charged with obstructing officers and impeding traffic after they sat in the middle of State Route 3 outside Massey Energy's Goals Coal preparation plant on Tuesday, the The Charleston Gazette reported. In a Democracy Now! phone interview on June 24, 2009, Ms. Hannah spoke briefly on why she went to West Virginia and risked arrest.
