In 1990, shortly after ending his marriage with his first wife, Lesley Manville, Gary Oldman entered into a relationship with actress Uma Thurman. By the start of the following year, the couple was married and living together. However, 11 months later, the relationship ended. She reportedly broke up with him by writing a letter saying that he was impossible to live with. Thurman later said that it takes a special kind of woman to put up with him.
