Uma Thurman is one of the most famous actresses in Hollywood and has made a large number of films.
After gaining attention for her role as Mia Wallace in Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 hit Pulp Fiction, she became an international star and appeared in many more films.
She starred in The Truth About Cats & Dogs (1966), Gattaca (1997), and more recently The House That Built (2018) and Red, White and Royal Blue (2023).
Her star continued to rise when she was cast as the lead in Tarantino’s Kill Bill – volume one and volume two – with part one grossing $180 million worldwide.
However, there is a 2010 film that Thurman was supposed to appear in, but it never materialized due to a breach of contract dispute.

The film was Eloise in Paris, which was based on a 1950s children’s book of the same name by Kay Thompson.
It was widely reported that the project was canceled before filming was completed due to a breach of contract dispute filed by Uma Thurman’s legal team – Karuna Dream Inc.
The actress’ contract was leaked later that year, revealing a list of demands she had made.
According to Female First, the documents revealed that Thurman would need a luxurious dressing room, first-class air travel, a hotel suite with at least three bedrooms and three cell phones for filming.
It also calls for no other cast member to be given “cheaper clothing options” than Thurman and for her to also be allowed to purchase costumes and wigs from the film at a 50% discount.
There is another clause that prohibits the film from using the actress’ “name or likeness” in any merchandising deals that include this very specific product listing:
“Tobacco, weapons, religious items, personal care products, underwear, porn, gambling, pet food, and stomach or rectal medications.”
Thurman isn’t the only Hollywood actor with strange requests – in fact, extravagant demands are quite common.

Uma Thurman and her daughter Maya Hawke appeared in a new trailer for the upcoming comedy thriller The Kill Room
This comes after it was revealed that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has a clause that “limits how ‘hard’ he can be beaten up on screen.”
Apparently, in The Fate of the Furious, Johnson even had the script adjusted so that he was sitting instead of lying down after a fight.
According to Buzzfeed, Samuel L. Jackson is reportedly inserting a clause into his contracts that gives him the opportunity to play golf twice a week.
Queen Latifah also reportedly instituted a “no dying” rule after filming the film Set It Off.
As her illustrious career continues, it is unknown whether Thurman still includes similar clauses in her contracts today.
She was recently seen alongside her daughter Maya Hawke in a new trailer for the upcoming comedy thriller The Kill Room.
This is the first time the mother-daughter duo has appeared alongside each other after Maya rose to fame as Robin Buckley in the Netflix sci-fi drama series Stranger Things.
