Uma Thurman is still disappointed about missing her high school prom.

The 'Kill Bill' actress was forced to skip the traditional American coming-of-age celebration because she was busy working.

She said, "I never went to my prom. It was sad. I didn't go because I had started working when I was 16."

Uma has also revealed she was "haunted" by her new movie 'The Life Before Her Eyes', in which she plays a character who struggles with disturbing flashbacks after seeing her best friend killed in a high school shooting.

She added to U.S. TV show 'Extra': "It was a wonderful film to make. It's haunting and it's moving. It is a very deep piece of material. It is such a real capturing of teen experiences."

"Hopefully it will help parents to sit down and have these difficult conversations with their children. The conversations could help open people up and provoke. It could be incredibly helpful."

Uma stars alongside Evan Rachel Wood in 'The Life Before Her Eyes', which is scheduled to be released in the U.S. this month.
