Uma Karuna Thurman was
born April 29, 1970, in Boston, Massachusetts. Her eccentric,
multi-cultural upbringing -- her mother Nena is a former psychotherapist
while her father Robert A.F. Thurman is a Tibetan Buddhist monk, and a
University of Columbia professor -- could explain the unique names of
the Thurman siblings, Dechen, Ganden and Mipam.
