Uma Thurman has been a vital figure during Tarantino’s rise as a director — but she nearly wasn’t involved at all. Tarantino wanted Thurman for the role of Mia Wallace in Pulp Fiction, but had to convince the actress to take the role. Thurman eventually relented and accepted the part, setting up a powerful duo. While filming Pulp Fiction, Thurman and Tarantino created the concept of Kill Bill. Only a few years later, Tarantino surprised Thurman on her 30th birthday with the script and an offer alongside it.
