	Actors - Sienna Miller

Sienna Rose Miller (born December 28, 1981) is an English actress and model.

Biography

Born in New York City, she moved to England as a child and attended the Heathfield School in Ascot, Berkshire and later studied for a year at the Lee Strasberg Institute in New York City.

Her father is Edward Miller, an American banker; her mother is Jo Miller, a South African who ran Lee Strasberg's acting academy in London. For much of her childhood and adolescence, her stepmother was the English interior decorator Kelly Hoppen. She has one sister, Savannah; two half-brothers, Charles and Steven; and one former step-sister, Natasha (daughter of Kelly Hoppen).

Miller owes her fame mainly to the particularly public relationship she had with her Alfie
co-star Jude Law which has frequently featured in the entertainment press. On Christmas Day of 2004 they became engaged. However, on July 18, 2005, Law issued a public apology to her for having an affair with Daisy Wright, the nanny of his children by his former wife. Despite attempts to salvage their relationship, the couple parted in time for Miller to celebrate her single status at the UK premiere of Casanova in February 2006.

During the filming of Factory Girl
she was said to be dating co-star Hayden Christensen. She is friends with fashion designer Matthew Williamson who has referred to her as his muse.

She is frequently noted for her fashion sense and frequently ranks highly in "best dressed" lists, often second only to fashion model Kate Moss. She is particularly credited with popularising "boho-chic", althought this is contraversial as many feel Kate Moss is the true originator of this look.

Career

Prior to her professional acting career, Miller worked as a photographic model. She currently models Pepe Jeans, and posed for Vanity Fair magazine's 2006 Hollywood Issue topless and smoking a cigarette.

She had a recurring role in the television series Keen Eddie.

She appeared in supporting roles in the 2004 remake of the 1966 movie Alfie
as well as in Layer Cake
(2004). She played the female lead in period drama, Casanova (2005). Miller plays 1960s socialite and Andy Warhol's muse Edie Sedgwick in the biopic Factory Girl
, set for a September 2006 release.

In 2005 she made her West End debut as Celia in Shakespeare's As You Like It to mixed reviews. (The Guardian commented "if she were in a girls' school show, rather than the West End, you would think her well above average.") She played the role of Rosalind for one performance, when Helen McCrory, the actress playing the lead, fell ill.
