Sofa So Good

When she was 14, Uma attended Northfield Mount Hermon, a college preparatory boarding school in Massachusetts. "I was not particularly bright, I wasn't very athletic, I was a little too tall, odd, funny looking, I was just really weird as a kid," said Uma of her childhood. This surely played on her mind when she left for London trying to avoid people selling her as the 'It Girl". In London Uma dated director Phil Joanou. She went to meet the stars of his latest project, State Of Grace. Sparks instantly flew when she encountered Gary Oldman. Her erstwhile date Phil Joanou was not much surprised by the affection between the two. He himself later said it was obvious that Oldman and Thurman were meant for each other, so he humbly stepped aside. In October 1990, Uma married Oldman, 12-years her senior.
