- Though she is hardly a screen legend, Uma Thurman knows
- what it feels like to be a goddess. She is named after Uma, a
- Hindu deity both terrifying and gracious. In The Adventures of
- Baron Munchausen she plays Venus. But Thurman's most inspiring
- effect has come from the tight-bodiced costumes she wore in
- Dangerous Liaisons. Frederick's of Hollywood reports that sales
- of push-up bras and uplifting half-pads have busted out. Says
- Thurman: "People have always stared at me because I'm strange
- shaped and a bit of a sore thumb." To her, she's human; to
- others, divine.
