Uma Thurman's Bride
Her middle name is Karuna.
Annie Thurman is not related to Uma. How do I know this - easy... she is my neice! The nicest most modest young lady you would ever meet. Her mother is my wife's sister.
Quentin Tarantino began writing the script while filming "Pulp Fiction" in 1994. In 2001, he met with Uma Thurman a nd talked about the script. Filming was inturrupted due to Thurmans pregnancy, so the film was shot in 2002, and released in 2003.
Uma Thurman is not a martial artist; if you watch the "Kill Bill" making of featurettes, reason she looks good is because tarantino insisted, on shooting all action sequences for 2 straight hours. Normally an action sequence is finished in one hour. Thurman however did one better, and said "lets just do this all day." Instead of only 2, she gave Tarantino EIGHT hours, of endlessly doing every action scene until it was finally flawless. Whole reason she looks so skiny; her body fat percentage I think must have dropped all the way down to 7% by the time that was over.
Before the franchise was even awarded, there was a write in contest to name the team. The winning name was actually the "Charlotte Panthers". But after realizing that meeting the financial requirements of the NFL would require a significant commitment from both Carolinas, the name was changed to the Carolina Panthers.
