My starting point was being indifferent and not a fan, but acknowledging that lots of others liked her looks. Then, one Saturday morning I went to Murray's Bagels on 6th Ave and Uma Thurman sat across from Ethan Hawke enjoying a low-key, no makeup, t-shirt/shorts/flip-flops breakfast. It took my seeing Hawke to realize it was Thurman after I'd already registered "most beautiful woman in person." Even now, I find her photos and movie look stylized in a way that does nothing particular for me, but the very different natural beauty from a few feet away makes this an easy answer.
