  1. Great actress who chooses her roles very wisely! I respect that a great deal. Some actors just churn out 3 or films a year meaning some films they perform in are rubbish!

  2. Years ago, David Letterman hosted the Oscars. One of his jokes was, “Oprah, meet Uma. Uma meet Oprah.” A couple times later, he’d just say, “Uma, Oprah. Oprah, Uma.” I don’t know why that cracks me up! I enjoyed her in the movie where she portrayed a superhero who was dumped by her normal boyfriend. She gave him a very bad time to put it mildly. 🙂
