Uma Thurman sues Lancome in cosmetics row

Uma Thurman has sued Lancome in an advertising dispute
Uma Thurman has sued Lancome in a row over advertising and the use of her image and name.

The Hollywood actress lodged her lawsuit on Friday, two days after the cosmetics manufacturer filed its own legal action.

She claims Lancome used her image on Canadian advertising boards and Asian websites after her contract with them had expired.

Lancome denies breach on contract and asked a state judge to rule against her claim.

Thurman's claim is for $15 million.

"Celebrities will now be careful about doing deals with Lancome," her lawyer, Bert Fields, told the Reuters news agency.

"They continued to use her photographs long after the contract was over."

A statement from Lancome said: "The use of Ms Thurman's image after her contract expired, however minor, was neither deliberate nor intentional."

It is the second legal issue in a week for Thurman, who recently appeared in court to testify against a man she accused of stalking her.

Jack Jordan, 37, was convicted of stalking and aggravated harassment.
