C..
Her career plans changed, and she went to New York for modeling.
Her first shoot wound up as a Vogue cover, bringing with it many other modeling jobs and some work on television soap operas.
Columnist Alice Hughes described her appearance: She's 5-feet-7, weight 115, sea-blue eyes, long loosely combed red hair and a 33-21-33 figure.
Ingredients like hers can turn the morning dew into a monsoon. She had film offers, but only one role, in the z-grade 1954 Ed Wood movie, Jail Bait.
In 1954, Leopold Stokowski needed an accomplished jaw harpist for a performance of Charles Ives' symphony, New England Holidays.
Thurman was one of the 22 who auditioned, but she lost the gig to two professional musicians.
