Actress Uma Thurman was recently featured in an editorial spread as well as in an interviewed by Another Magazine. I love photography by Craig McDean, particularly the butterfly motif as a symbol of rebirth symbol. The way McDean featured it as an imitation monocle is quite beautiful.
The theme, and title, of the feature is "Uma, Taking Risks." The 38-year-old actress has established herself well in Hollywood, having staring roles in movies like Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill: Vol 1 and 2 and The Producers under her belt.
