Actress Uma Thurman says she built a decades-long career without ever fully living in Los Angeles, a decision she now views with both acceptance and lingering curiosity.
In a recent cover interview with InStyle, Thurman said she “never did time in Los Angeles,” explaining that her absence from the city meant she did not fully integrate into the professional community centered there. Instead, she found connection elsewhere, closer to home.
