Sienna Miller's Biography

Sienna Miller is an Anglo-American model and actress. Also, she launched a denim clothing and accessories line under the brand "2812" (her birth date). She has collaborated with Prada, Vogue, and Coca-Cola. For the humanitarian aid she personally sent to the sick in Congo and Haiti, she was awarded the International Medical Corps Award. She has been nominated for several prestigious film awards.

Childhood and Youth

Sienna Rose Diana was born in the winter of 1981 to a well-to-do family of the banker Edward Miller and South African model and actress Josephine Jo Miller. The family lived in New York, raising one older daughter, Savannah, who was 11 years old when the second baby arrived.

When Sienna turned six, her parents filed for divorce. Edward left for Kelly Hoppen, a famous interior designer, but life in the new family did not work out. However, Sienna gained two blood brothers - Charles and Stephen, and a little later a stepbrother, Tanner.

The girls moved to London with their mother, where Josephine found work as a personal assistant to the iconic singer David Bowie. In addition, she was invited to a leading position at the London Lee Strasberg acting school. Later, the actress recalled her childhood feelings as happy and sunny:

Yes, my parents divorced, but my mother somehow managed to make my sister and I feel neither abandoned nor deprived. And you know what I realized? For a child's future well-being, only one condition is essential. They need a happy mother. Savannah and I couldn't even imagine that our mother was dissatisfied, oppressed, or lonely.

Sienna attended a girls' boarding school in Ascot, where she exhibited a love of freedom and an unwillingness to confine herself to narrow boundaries. She ran away from the boarding school, befriended boys, and learned to smoke. But looking at her mother, she aspired to be like her, and at the age of 16, she first tried herself as a photo model.

Sienna's photo sessions caught the attention of major brands such as Prada, Vogue, and Coca-Cola. The young woman began advertising sportswear and soda, and her photos appeared in many glossy publications and on billboards.

Acting Career

In 1999, upon reaching adulthood, Sienna decided to pursue a film career and moved back to her childhood city. In New York, she attended the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute for a year. Shortly after, she made her debut on a professional theater stage, followed by several minor roles in television series.

Young Sienna Miller (2000)

Miller first appeared on the big screen in 2001 in Carlo Vanzina's melodramatic comedy "South Kensington," where she played Shannon. Her real acting breakthrough came with the role of Tammy in Matthew Vaughn's directorial debut "Layer Cake" (2004), alongside the future "James Bond," Daniel Craig.

Simultaneously, the actress was involved in Charles Shyer's romantic comedy "Alfie," where she met British actor Jude Law.

Among the characters she portrayed on the big screen are Francesca Bruni ("Casanova" (2005)), Edie Sedgwick ("Factory Girl" (2006)) and Victoria Forester ("Stardust" (2007)).

Worthy of separate mention is her role as Katya, a Russian actress, in the 2007 thriller "Interview," directed by Steve Buscemi, who also played the second lead role of Pierre, a journalist assigned to interview a soap opera star. The evening turns into a real emotional marathon between them.

In 2009, she played the all-black-clad Baroness Anna Lewis in Stephen Sommers' blockbuster "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra," after which the term "sex symbol" became firmly associated with Sienna.

A year later, Miller was filming as Louisa Fennell in Bille Eltringham's drama "Hippie Hippie Shake," but the film was never released in wide distribution. Paired with Keira Knightley, Sienna portrayed the leading character Caitlin Thomas in John Maybury's war drama "The Edge of Love" (2008). In this film, Knightley played her friend Vera Phillips, and the lead role of poet Dylan Thomas, in love with both beautiful women, went to Cillian Murphy.

In 2012, the actress appeared in Nick Cassavetes' drama "Yellow" (Xanne) and played the lead role in Bernard Rose's "Two Jacks" (Diana). A year later, Miller starred in Kat Coiro's melodrama "A Case of You" (Sarah). Also interesting for Sienna was the role of Nancy Schultz in the drama "Foxcatcher" (2014), based on real events. Her collaboration with director Bennett Miller led her to the Cannes Film Festival, where the film premiered and won the Palme d'Or for Best Director.

In 2014, Miller cherished her work in Clint Eastwood's historical drama "American Sniper." She played Taya Renae, the wife of the main character, Texas cowboy Chris Kyle, portrayed by Bradley Cooper. Miller soon reunited with the same actor on the set of the comedy "Burnt." The actors admitted that they had to do real cooking on camera under the careful guidance of Michelin-starred chefs. They also held fun dinners at home as practice.

Additionally, the actress is proud of her work in James Gray's adventure drama "The Lost City of Z" in 2016 and her collaboration with Ben Affleck in his thriller "Live by Night." In subsequent years, Miller's filmography expanded with the role of Debra Callahan in Jake Scott's detective drama "American Woman" (2018) and the leading role in Benedict Andrews' drama "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof."

James Toback personally wrote the screenplay for "The Private Life of a Modern Woman" for Sienna, where she embodied the image of successful actress Vera Lockman, who is haunted by a nightmare that has become reality. Her co-star was the aging but still charismatic Alec Baldwin. The drama was presented at the Venice Film Festival.

Scandal and "The Loudest Voice"

Rumors about the love affairs of the Hollywood beauty peaked in 2011 when aggressive paparazzi began to pop out from behind garbage cans to take photos and hurl offensive accusations at the actress. When Miller found out that, by order of media magnate Rupert Murdoch, owner of several tabloid publications, her phone was being tapped to obtain scandalous facts, she sought legal protection. Sienna took on almost the entire media empire subordinate to Murdoch, made the case public knowledge, and won the hearing.

When in 2018 the actress was offered the role of Beth Ailes in Kari Skogland's miniseries "The Loudest Voice", she gladly accepted, as the feelings of past humiliation were still fresh in her memory. The plot of the show was based on real events and told the story of a television channel director accused of harassment against his subordinates. Rupert Murdoch was also present in the plot - partly for this reason Miller agreed to participate in the series:

He is portrayed exactly as he deserves... As for director Roger Ailes, I watched this whole story in 2015-2016. The accusations that his female employees made, and the whole terrible truth was revealed. I'm fortunate that I've never been subjected to harassment in my career. I've been yelled at, stomped on, underpaid – in other words, treated sometimes like God knows what... But that's a different story.

The role of Roger in the film was played by the colorful Russell Crowe, whose performance critics praised in the highest terms, calling this work perhaps the best in his filmography.

Personal Life of Sienna Miller

Perhaps no other Hollywood actress has had such a turbulent and scandalous personal life. Among her love affairs are relationships with Leonardo DiCaprio, Josh Hartnett, Jamie Dornan, Daniel Craig, Orlando Bloom, and James Franco.

In 2009, she met the striking British actor Jude Law on a film set. The budding actress left her boyfriend, model David Neville, to dive headfirst into a new romance, which became a long-time subject of tabloid gossip. Paparazzi relentlessly pursued the actress, trying to capture salacious details.

Miller later revealed that her relationship with Law was very serious. He was married but left his wife Sadie Frost and their three children to marry his lover. They even announced their engagement. However, Law publicly admitted that he had cheated on Miller with their children's nanny.

The breakup was painful and protracted. Jude tried his best to win back his beloved, giving her gifts and flowers, hoping to plead for forgiveness. The couple reunited for a while, but nothing came of it as a phone hacking scandal erupted. Rupert Murdoch's publications publicly claimed that Sienna had cheated on Jude with Daniel Craig. Although both actors vehemently denied these claims and Miller even won a lawsuit for invasion of privacy, she and Law split up for good a year and a half later.

After a brief reunion, the couple finally broke up

Then, the media reported that Sienna Miller would soon become Rhys Ifans' wife. Shortly thereafter, it was revealed that the actress was dating a married man, Balthazar Getty, a father of four and heir to a famous magnate. Paparazzi published a photo of the lovers in a compromising position. Public opinion turned against the adulterers, and Miller began to receive offensive nicknames.

The pressure on her led the actress to admit to affairs with married men and that she and Getty had decided to end their relationship. She also apologized for causing pain. After this, Balthazar returned to his forgiving wife, and Sienna broke up with Rhys.

For some time, discussion of her personal life quieted down until 2011 when Miller started appearing in public with actor Tom Sturridge. The man was younger than his partner, but this didn't stop them from announcing their engagement and then living together for four years.

During this time, the couple never officially formalized their relationship, but Sienna did give birth to a daughter for Tom, whom they named Marlowe Ottoline Layng Sturridge. In 2015, the couple split up, but they continue to communicate as a trio, with Miller calling her ex-husband an amazing person she will always love and respect.

Since then, rumors about Sienna's romances with Brad Pitt and Bradley Cooper have regularly appeared in the media. Soon, she was spotted with Bennett Miller, who directed her in his film "Foxcatcher". The couple was seen at various events, and a ring appeared on the actress's ring finger, leading fans to believe that the couple was engaged.

But the ring was not given to Sienna by Miller. In 2019, the stunning blonde met Lucas Zwirner, a native of a family of German immigrants. The gallerist and founder of David Zwimer Books is ten years her junior. During this time, a luxurious diamond appeared on the actress's ring finger, and it seemed that this time the engagement would end with the lovers' wedding. But in August 2020, she and Lucas parted ways.

In February 2022, the name of the actress's new boyfriend was revealed. It turned out to be actor Oli Green, who is 12 years younger than Sienna. In August 2023, the media reported that Miller was expecting a child, with Green as the father.
