Sienna Miller Biography

Surprisingly, British model and actress Sienna Rose Miller was born in New York City on December 28, 1981. Her father, Ed Miller, is an American banker, and her mother, Jo, is from South Africa. Siblings, stepsiblings and half-siblings include Savannah, Charles, Stephen, and Natasha.

Sienna Miller moves to England

Sienna's parents divorced rather early in her life and she moved to England with her mother. Since Jo was constantly involved with the arts, she took on the job of running London's Lee Strasberg drama school.

Given that money wasn't an issue amid Sienna's upbringing, she was sent to Heathfield School, a boarding school in Ascot, Surrey, for most of her adolescent life. It was a life Sienna quite enjoyed, as she often snuck off to buy alcohol, pulled pranks, and even seduced the gardener.

But during her time at Heathfield, she also discovered within herself a passion for the arts, no doubt inherited from her mother. She enjoyed singing and modeling, but it was really theater that she took pleasure in the most.

Sienna Miller studies at Lee Strasberg

With her high school days behind her, Sienna returned to her native city and enrolled in the prestigious Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute, which she knew something about thanks to her mother. Studying the craft full-time, she especially excelled at Lamda Acting.

Still, Sienna didn't let her education get in the way of acting and she could be seen on the stages around the Big Apple. Plays she's performed in include The Striker, Independence and Cigarettes & Chocolate, directed by Anthony Minghella, who's famous for helming the movie The English Patient (1996).

But just because she was working as an actress, it didn't mean that she was up to speed on her celebrity trivia. This one time, she found herself in a bar and spotted Kevin Spacey, after the release of The Usual Suspects. She approached him and referred to him as Kevin Bacon. When the Academy Award-winning actor corrected her by saying "Spacey," she answered, "Yeah, it is, isn't it?", still clueless.

Sienna Miller turns to modeling

During her stint in New York, Sienna also found herself pursuing other interests. One day, she was spotted by Tandy Anderson, the owner of the Select Model Management agency. Sienna was offered the chance to model professionally and she signed on immediately.

Afterward, she returned to the United Kingdom and began working as a model. Before long, she was shooting European commercials for Coca-Cola and saw herself working for Italian Vogue and Prada. A few months later, she was modeling for the 2003 Pirelli Calendar.

Sienna Miller in High Speed

Simultaneously, she wanted to pursue her acting career in England, and, following her return, she was signed on by the PFD talent agency, based in London's theater district. This assisted her in securing a part in the independent feature High Speed (2002), also known as Joy-Rider. In this bike racing melodrama, Sienna played the girlfriend torn between two best friends.

Sienna Miller in Keen eddie

Next in line for her was a guest-starring role on FOX's short-lived series, The American Embassy, in 2002. Then her agent managed to have her appear in the 2002 season of the offbeat BBC miniseries Bedtime, which follows three storylines confined to suburban bedrooms.

By then her star was burning bright enough for the big boys to notice. In this spirit, Paramount Pictures signed her up to a seven-year contract. Her first job, resulting from this deal, was a co-starring role on FOX's 2003 series Keen Eddie, directed by Simon West, better known for directing Con Air (1997) and Tomb Raider (2001).

In the show, she played sassy Fiona Bickerton, who found herself in a love-hate relationship with a New York City cop on assignment in London. Even though it was a hit with critics, especially because of Sienna's inspired performance, only 13 episodes were made before the show was canceled.

She didn't let this discourage her and she could soon be found on the set of the London crime drama Layer Cake (2004). Her next move was to work on the remake of the Michael Caine classic Alfie (2004), starring Jude Law and Marisa Tomei.

Sienna Miller and Jude Law

Sienna Miller didn't just get a paycheck from her Alfie experience; she also got a new man. In the fall of 2003, she found herself falling in love with co-star Jude Law only days after his divorce with Sadie Frost was finalized. As the film's shooting moved from England to America, Sienna and Jude bought a small New York City apartment together.

Frost was revolted by the idea and publicly admitted that this was only a fling and that their relationship would never work. But for the next few months, the relationship continued to evolve, even though Sienna found it difficult to live away from home.

In the summer of 2004, Frost eventually openly buried the hatchet with a hug at the Glastonbury Festival in Somerset, England, much to Jude's delight. Still, some people believe that it was only for appearance's sake. In late December 2004, Jude proved his ex-wife wrong by proposing to Sienna.

In the meantime, Sienna finds herself happy both at work and in love. She can next be seen in 2005's Casanova, starring Heath Ledger.
