Uma Thurman has made a name for herself in Hollywood, proving she’s here for the long run. The actress is perhaps best known for her partnership with Quentin Tarantino, playing Mia Wallace in Pulp Fiction and The Bride in Kill Bill: Volume 1 and 2 (2003, 2004). In real life, however, perhaps her favorite role is mom to three kids.
Uma famously dated actor Ethan Hawke after they met while filming the 1997 movie Gattaca and they got married in 1998. They welcomed two children, Maya and Levon before divorcing in 2005. Uma then welcomed another daughter, Luna, in 2012 with her former fiance, financier Arpad Busson.
In recent years, Uma has stepped out publicly alongside her children at major events, including red carpets and film premieres. Most recently, she attended Maya’s Valentine’s Day 2026 wedding in New York City, celebrating the milestone alongside family and close friends.

Following in her mother’s footsteps is Maya Hawke, born July 8, 1998. After beginning her career modeling for various big names like Vogue, Calvin Klein, and AllSaints, she then made her on-screen debut in 2017 as Jo in the BBC adaptation of Little Women. Her breakout role, however, came as Robin — a worker at the mall’s Scoops Ahoy — in the third season of Stranger Things, quickly becoming a fan favorite. She reprised the role through the show’s fifth and final season, which wrapped the hit Netflix series. She then went on to have a small part that same year in Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood — talk about really following in mom’s footsteps!
In 2023, Maya became the latest starlet to appear in a Wes Anderson film, joining the ensemble cast of Asteroid City. She also joined her mother and Samuel L. Jackson in the Nicole Paone-directed The Kill Room. Maya also dipped her toes into the biopic world, playing Jamie Bernstein in 2023’s Maestro, Flannery O’Connor in Wildcat, and a “devoted Beatles fan” hoping to meet George Harrison in Revolver (a movie featuring her father, Ethan Hawke.)
In addition to continuing her acting career, Maya has also pursued a singing career. After releasing her first two singles in 2019, she put out the albums Blush (2020), Moss (2022) and Chaos Angel (2024), earning praise for her indie-folk sound and introspective songwriting.
