Why is uma not working

While it's true that a number of her movies have been lower-budget efforts that weren't aiming for blockbuster status, she's also been in a number of high-profile duds, including "Gattaca , " "My Super Ex-Girlfriend," and "The Avengers. That's a lot of cash to gamble on an actress who rarely draws a crowd, and few studios have been willing to take the bait. That's bound to make a production company think twice about footing the bill for Thurman's services.

Consider this: Maybe Uma Thurman just doesn't need the money any longer. She's certainly pulling in plenty from the court system.

During the s and most of the s, television was considered something of a step down for film actors. But thanks to the advent of prestige cable drama and every streaming network's ongoing effort to make the next watercooler show , today's movie stars can dip in and out of TV without diminishing their professional stature.
