Kill Bill star Uma Thurman recently appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to promote her role in the television series Imposters, but was also asked about the specifics regarding turning down the role of Eowyn in The Lord of the Rings.
“Yes. It was a very long time ago, and I do consider it one of the worst decisions ever made,” said Thurman. “But I had just had my first child, and I just – I don’t know, I was a little housebound… It’s really definitely a regret.”
The role of Eowyn eventually went to Miranda Otto, who can now be seen on television in Fox’s new series 24: Legacy.
