About Sienna Miller in brief
Sienna Rose Diana Miller is a British-American actress. Born in New York City and raised in London, she began her career as a photography model. Her acting breakthrough came in the 2004 films Layer Cake and Alfie. Miller portrayed socialite Edie Sedgwick in Factory Girl and author Caitlin Macnamara in The Edge of Love. Her role as The Baroness in G. I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra: was followed by a brief sabbatical from the screen amid increased tabloid scrutiny. Miller returned to prominence with her role as actress Tippi Hedren in the television film The Girl, for which she was nominated for the BAFTA Television Award for Best Actress. She has appeared in the films Foxcatcher, American Sniper, Mississippi Grind, The Lost City of Z, Live by Night, and American Woman, as well as the miniseries The Loudest Voice. Miller has a sister, Savannah, and two half-brothers, Charles and Stephen. Her parents divorced in 1987, and Miller moved to Parsons Green with her mother, who at the time was being treated for breast cancer. Her mother, Josephine, is a South African-born British former model, who was a personal assistant to David Bowie and one-time manager of the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in NYC. Miller attended Heathfield School, a boarding school in Ascot, Berkshire where she also used to act and play Lacrosse. She went on to obtain a regular role as the combative yet caring flatmate of an NYPD detective in the TV drama series Keen Eddie.
Although FOX ceased airing the program after only seven episodes, Keen Eddie was Miller’s first exposure to American audiences. In 2005, she also made her West End debut in a revival of As You Like It, at the Wyndhams Theatre in London. Her performance received lukewarm responses from critics, with one calling her ‘brings all professional experience to the stage that can be ripe for the taking’ and another saying she was ‘too tough to melt from the glittering glittering from the school of Emma Thompson’ The Independent beaned: ‘Ms Miller is neither too tough nor too tough. She approaches an emotion with the finesse of someone beating it from the red carpet and it must be a professional experience that must be enjoyed by all professional actors and actresses.’ The New York Times described Miller as ‘a new It Girl who barely registers on-screen despite wearing little more than lacey filaments that make her look like a gift meant to be unwrapped very quickly’ In Alfie, the remake of Bill Naughton’s 1966 film, she played the girlfriend of a cockney limo driver and sex addict. The film made a moderate US$37.37. million, and positive reviews for the film, including from US$6.6 million from Entertainment Weekly, wrote: ‘The film made Ms Miller a modern, smart, smart-girl look about her too.
