UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., Dec. 9 (UPI) -- Actress Uma Thurman has booked a five-episode guest-starring arc on the new Broadway-themed drama series "Smash," NBC said Thursday.

The "Pulp Fiction" and "Kill Bill" star will play a "famous and somewhat difficult movie star who flirts with the idea of starring in 'Marilyn,' the musical within the musical," the network said in a synopsis.

Thurman's film credits include "Dangerous Liaisons," "Henry & June," "The Producers," "My Super Ex-Girlfriend," "The Accidental Husband," "My Zinc Bed" and "Motherhood."

"Smash" is to premiere Feb. 6.
