  • Birgitte Caroline 'Nena' von Schlebrügge is a former fashion model in the 1950s and 1960s and is now a psychotherapist. She is the mother of actress Uma Thurman. She was born in Mexico City in 1941, the daughter of a Swedish mother, Birgit Holmquist, and a German father, Friedrich Karl Johannes, Baron von Schlebrügge. Her maternal grandmother's parents were German and Danish. Her mother served as the model for a 1930 statue of a nude woman that overlooks the harbor of Smygehuk in Sweden. She married LSD guru Timothy Leary in 1964. They were married in Millbrook, New York, at the Hitchcock house where Leary had been conducting his hallucinogenic experiments. Present at the wedding were Monte Rock III (hairdresser & singer at Trudy Heller's), Nena's brother Bjorn (also known as the "Baron"), Nick Proferes, Jim Desmond, Charles Mingus, D.A. Pennebaker (who documented the event in his short film You're Nobody Til Somebody Loves You), scores of models, and more. Von Schlebrügge divorced Leary in 1965. In 1967, she married Tibetan-Buddhist scholar, Dr. Robert Thurman. In 1967, she had a part in the Edie Sedgwick film, Ciao! Manhattan. The film took four years to make and drastic changes were made from the original story causing the film-makers to remove many scenes shot in 1967, which included Nena's scenes. These deleted scenes can be found on the DVD version of the film. Uma Thurman, born in 1970, was the second of their four children. On her father's side she had an older half sister, who was the paternal grandmother of Swedish football player Max von Schlebrügge.
