She was born to Robert Thurman, a Buddhist writer and academic and Nena von Schlebrugge, a model. She is of mixed descent which explains her exotic looks.

She began modeling when she was just 15; she has appeared on the covers of ‘Glamour’ and ‘Vogue’.

She played the character of Cecile de Volanges in the 1988 historical drama ‘Dangerous Liaisons’. The movie was critically acclaimed and nominated for several Academy Awards.
In 1990, she played a sexually provocative role in the biographical drama ‘Henry & June’ which also starred Fred Ward and Maria de Medeiros. The movie was released with an NC-17 rating because of its sexual content and Thurman became an overnight sex symbol.
She was cast as the main star, Sissy, in the 1994 movie ‘Even Cowgirls Get the Blues’ which was based on a novel of the same name by Tom Robbins. The movie was however a critical as well as commercial failure.
She is best known for her role in the action-thriller film ‘Kill Bill’ which was released in two separate volumes. She was highly appreciated for taking on the completely deglamourized role of a former member of an assassination team.
Her role of an excitable woman who seeks romance in her life in the television movie ‘Hysterical Blindness’ is another one of her fine performances.
