Originally, Uma Thurman turned down the part of Mia, so Miramax offered the role to Julia Louis Dreyfuss. She turned it down due to her Seinfeld commitments, so they had to look elsewhere. Under consideration was Isabella Rossellini, Meg Ryan, Daryl Hannah, Joan Cusack and Michelle Pfeiffer. Pfeiffer almost won Tarantino over, but he decided to call Uma one more time.

We’re glad she did.
