Born November 8th, 1975 in New Jersey. Her parents, who run a pair of daycare centers, send their daughter to The Professional Children's School in New York City. Her fellow classmates included Jerry O'Connell and Macaulay Culkin. Tara took an interest in acting early on, she made her debut in a children's television game show, Child's Play, in 1982, and began appearing in television commercials for McDonald's and Jell-O, amongst others. Tara got her break in 1994 when she was cast on the longtime teen institution, Saved By the Bell. Although the show is not exactly known for creating successful alumni, Tara Reid has continued to prove the exception as she has slowly worked her way to the top. After spending a year on SBTB, she moved on to daytime television, with a recurring role on Days of Our Lives. In the summer of 1999, Tara's career finally took off with The Big Lebowski, where Tara was cast as Bunny, the much younger wife of The Big Lebowski. Tera next starred as Vicki in American Pie, the surprise gross-out hit of the year, along with Shannon Elizabeth, and Mena Suvari.
Now more of a recognizable star, 1999 was Tara's breakthrough year. She appeared in the made-for-TV movie What We Did That Night, and had a small role in the teen-oriented, sensuous film, Cruel Intentions. In the same ywar she was seen in Body Shots, and in the star-studded flop, Dr. T & the Women; not even Helen Hunt or Kate Hudson could save that disaster. 2001 was a big movie year for Tara, with roles in Just Visiting and Josie and the Pussycats (based on the Archie Comics), as a third of a female rock group consisting of Rachael Leigh Cook and Rosario Dawson. In the same year she also appeared in American Pie 2. After taming the savage party animal in the lowbrow comedy National Lampoon's Van Wilder, 2002 , Reid gave screen heartthrob Ashton Kutcher the runaround in the romantic comedy My Boss's Daughter, 2003. Tara was also engaged to MTV Host Carson Daly, who had a small cameo in Josie and The Pussycats up until 2001. They both found the stress of the media's false stories too much and were unhappy rowing over nothing, so the engagement was called off. Although the two found their break-up extremely hard to deal with, they both moved on and remain friends. Tara also has her own production company, named Hi Happy Films.

Uma Thurman detailed Biography:
Uma Karuna Thurman was born April 29, 1970, in Boston, Massachusetts. Her bizarre, 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.
As is practically tradition in today's beautiful actresses, but Uma Thurman, who was named after a Hindu divinity and means "bestower of blessings" did not fit in as a schoolgirl. As if Uma Thurman name wasn't different enough, she was lean and awkward as a child. Her nose, which today only adds a unique touch to her beautiful face, was part of her misery. Rather than the typically all-American extra-curricular activities such as cheerleading, Uma Thurman had better things to do act.
After receiving a standing ovation while involved in an elementary school theatre production, Uma Thurman caught the acting bug and knew this was what she wanted to do with her life. So she packed up and like most aspiring models and actors, she headed for New York, not even sticking around long enough to become a high school graduate. While in New York, Uma was forced to work odd jobs in order to pay the bills, such as being a dish washer and a model, a more glamorous day job. It didn't take long for Uma to trade in her dishwashing gloves for scripts, as she finally landed her first feature film role. As a vampire, Uma was on the verge of beginning her career, and what has been referred to as a string of sexual film roles.
After her role as a vampire in 1987's Kiss Daddy Goodnight, which was nothing to write Boston about, Uma Thurman was cast in Johnny Be Good and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, which raised eyebrows and garnered her critical praise. But it was after her role in 1988's Dangerous Liaisons that her image became even more erotic. Choosing to become more than just a passing fad, Uma Thurman left for England. But many offers for movie roles were waiting for her back in America, and she eventually returned. Her role in 1990s Henry & June showcased Uma with sexuality streaming out of her pores; it didn't help that she portrayed a bisexual in the film.
Although Uma Thurman starred in films such as Final Analysis, Jennifer 8, Mad, Dog and Glory, and Even Cowgirls Get The Blues, it was her role as the offbeat, cocaine-junkie Mia Wallace that garnered Uma an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting actress. With a departure from alternative, more dramatic films, to the commercial comedies Beautiful Girls and The Truth Behind Cats and Dogs, Uma proved that she can also provide some laughs.
Next up for the beautiful actress were roles in the sci-fi Gattaca; Batman & Robin as Poison Ivy; the film adaptation of Les Miserables; and her starring role as Emma Peele in the adaptation of The Avengers, which tanked at the box-office. Uma went on a brief hiatus to marry Gattaca co-star Ethan Hawke and welcome their baby Maya Ray to the world. Uma was previously married to actor Gary Oldman, from 1990 to 1991, and her dating record includes Timothy Hutton and Robert De Niro.
After a role in Woody Allen's Sweet and Lowdown, Uma Thurman returned to her former modeling days as a spokesperson for Lancôme. One of Empire Magazine's 100 Sexiest Stars in film history, Uma Thurman was last seen in the film Vatel. Watch out for her in the soon-to-be-released, The Golden Bowl.
