Thurman played Blake Livelys free spirited Os mother in Savages but her role has completely disappeared from the final cut.S tone told HuffPost Entertainment. "She was a good character -- Uma Thurman played her beautifully -- and the scenes were good, but you don't have time, you know? We have one goal in the movie, and you go out that gate and it's like a horse race." Don Winslows Savages adaptation came down to two weed dealers and their kidnapped girlfriend with a lot of scenes not making the cut. Thurmans divorcee mother with eight husbands would have perhaps given a nice backstory to how O turned up the wild child she did.
