Another Tarantino alum who can't seem to catch a break, Uma Thurman's career has cooled down significantly in recent years, generally taking small supporting roles in movies that either bombed or didn't get a major theatrical release.

Thurman's last starring project to be even moderately successful was 2006's My Super Ex-Girlfriend, and though a few of her movies since have been hits, typically she's only appeared in them for a few scattered scenes, so she can't really take much credit.

As for the future, she does have six movies due for release over the next year, though only upcoming thriller Serenity, co-starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway, has any real box office potential.
