This interactive visualization charts Uma Thurman's film and television career from 1988 to 2022, displaying each project as a color-coded dot on a timeline. A toggle switches between a chronological view and a box-office scatterplot, while filters isolate major or supporting roles. Hovering reveals film details, and a year slider highlights works near a selected date. The implementation uses D3.js v7 for SVG rendering and animations, with film data sourced from IMDb and Box Office Mojo.
