Uma Thurman landed back in court this month as she awaits the trial of a man accused of stalking her - she has been put on jury duty.
The actress was recently forced to undergo jury selection in New York City with other randomly-picked members of the public.
Thurman wasn't selected and admits she was disappointed to miss out, although it would have caused her career chaos, as she is currently busy promoting new movie The Life Before Her Eyes.
The star reveals, "I was on jury duty downtown. it was a misdemeanour case. I wasn't selected. but I got quite excited by the thought of it.
"But I was nervous, because if it's been a long case it would have caused problems. How do you tell that to the producers of a movie?"
Thurman will get her day in court when the delayed trial of Jackson Jordan kicks off. Jordan, 36, stands accused of attempting to gain entry to Thurman's trailer on a New York movie shoot, and sending her letters and drawings, including a sketch of the actress digging his grave.

Latest: The New York trial of a man accused of stalking Uma Thurman has been delayed until next week (begs17Mar08).
Jackson Jordan, 36, stands accused of attempting to gain entry to Thurman's trailer on a New York movie shoot, and sending her letters and drawings, including a sketch of the actress digging his grave.
One letter allegedly read, "I feel afraid that if I see you out again with another man, I will want to kill myself."
Jordan has turned down the offer of enrolment in a mental health programme - which would have shortened any custodial sentence he is given - because he wanted to see her in court.
The defendant's lawyer George Vomvolakis has revealed he intends to argue in court that "he was just a romantic pursuing the woman that he loved".
If convicted, Jordan faces a minimum sentence of one year in a mental health institution.
Jury selection will now begin on 17 March.
