In her most recent Town & Country cover story, she explained that she actually asked the filmmakers why she wasn’t cast in Kill Bill. “He was very smart,” Yeoh shared, “and he said, ‘Who would believe Uma Thurman would kick your ass?'”
The actress added that Tarantino was the driving force behind her decision to return to show business, calling him “perseverance,” adding: “He is who he is today because he is passionate and loving, so he Let me down.” She chose to retire in the mid-’90s due to a fractured vertebra from a stunt, explaining that she thought she was paralyzed, wore a brace and felt pain every time she breathed.
