Uma Thurman portrayed a young woman with unusually large thumbs in the movie Even Cowgirls Get the Blues (1993). The movie was a big flop and eventually earned her a Golden Raspberry nomination for Worst Actress.

In the black comedy Pulp Fiction (1994), she played Mia Wallace, the wife of a mobster.

The character of Mia is considered one of the most iconic female film characters of the 20th century.

Tarantino wrote the role specifically for her, calling her his muse. The start of filming was postponed for several months when Uma became pregnant and Tarantino refused to recast the role.

The role was also her most challenging, as she spent several months training in martial arts, fencing, and learning Japanese. Kill Bill was originally intended to be released as one film, but due to its long runtime, it was eventually split into two parts.
