|
Miller was born in New York City on
December 28, 1981 and moved to England with her family as a child, where
she attended the Heathfield school in Ascot, Berkshire and later studied
for a year at the Lee Strasberg Institute with luminaries such as Will Lee
and Koni Summer in New York City.
Her father, Edwin Miller, is an American banker turned Chinese-art dealer.
Her mother, Josephine "Jo" Miller, who is South African, ran Lee
Strasberg's acting academy in London and was once David Bowie's secretary.
Her parents parted when she was six years old, and her father subsequently
married the English interior designer Kelly Hoppen; they divorced after 15
years, and Ed Miller recently remarried for the fourth time.
Miller has a sister, Savannah, who is a fashion designer; two
half-brothers, Charles and Stephen, and a former stepsister, Natasha
Corrett (the daughter of Hoppen).
Prior to her professional acting career, Miller worked as a photographic
model. She signed with Tandy Anderson, and modeled for Coca-Cola, Italian
Vogue, Prada and the 2003 Pirelli Calendar.
Miller signed a two-year contract with Pepe Jeans London; the jeans ad
campaign first appeared in magazines March 2006.
Miller posed for Vanity Fair magazine's 2006 "Hollywood Issue" topless and
smoking a cigarette.
She appeared on the December 2004 and the February 2006 cover of British
Vogue, and will appear on the September 2007 cover of U.S. Vogue
Miller designed limited edition T-shirts or vests for the 'Little Tee
Campaign' for Breast Cancer Care which donates money for breast cancer
research.
In 2006, it was announced that Miller would design a fashion capsule for
Pepe Jeans; the project was later expanded to become a complete fashion
label. Called Twenty8Twelve, it gets its name from Sienna Miller's date of
birth and is financially backed by Pepe Jeans. Miller designed the label's
first range with her sister Savannah. The designing duo presented pieces
from the range in May 2007. The 80-piece line premiered on July 26, 2007
in New York City. It will debut at Neiman Marcus September 8, 2007, and at
Bergdorf Goodman soon.
Miller's relationship with Jude Law was frequently featured in the
entertainment press. Christmas Day of 2004, they became engaged. However,
July 18, 2005, Law issued a public apology to Miller for having an affair
with Daisy Wright, the nanny of his children by his former wife (actress
Sadie Frost). At the same time, Miller was rumored to be having an affair
with Law's friend, Daniel Craig. Despite attempts to salvage their
relationship, Miller and Law separated, then reunited briefly in 2006,
before separating again. She is now said to be dating Welsh actor Rhys
Ifans.
She has also supported Breast Cancer Haven's Lend a Hand, Raise a Grand
Appeal which asks people to raise £1,000 in one year for Breast Cancer
Haven, which runs centers offering a free program for support, information
and complementary therapies to anyone affected by the disease. She
encouraged others to take part, saying "The Lend a Hand, Raise a Grand
appeal is your chance to support a fantastic charity. It is a chance for
you to make a difference -- a little bit of effort goes a long way with
this unique initiative. We are all affected by breast cancer so please,
please support it." Miller is also an ambassador for the Starlight
Children's Foundation. |

Sienna Miller - Personal Quotes |
|
|
|
"I know people compare me to
Kate [Moss] a lot after that media hype started. But it's not that
I'm trying to get her look, truly not. But I like what she's wearing
and we seem to share taste to a certain extent."
"I'm English, definitely. I don't feel like I'm American in any
way."
"I'm very happy about it to be really honest! But I think it's as a
result of being scrutinised because of the relationship that I'm in.
If it was because of the work, it would be more justified." - On her
newfound fame.
"The secret is to know what you're doing. And then every other
person will notice that you know. No matter what I'm wearing, I try
to always make it look casually, but never arbitrary. Never
ostentatious." - On her style secrets.
"Style is definitely a combination of place, occasion, surroundings,
body and mood. And to be honest, I sometimes don't spare neither
trouble nor expense. Fortunately I can afford to do so now, but
style doesn't mean you have to stick to all-brands-looks. The thing
is, you can't buy style and you can only slowly learn it."
"Men's traditional view of sexiness isn't sexy. It shouldn't be so
obvious: push-up bras and miniskirts? Sexiness, to me, is when
people are comfortable with themselves."
"I've wanted to be an actress for as long as I can remember, and I
can say I was almost born in the theatre. My mum went into labour
while she was watching the Nut-Cracker Suite in New York -
apparently I was kicking like mad"
"I think American men are more conscious of putting up a good
impression. There's more of an earthiness to Englishmen. But
Americans aren't afraid to come up and say, `Hi, I'd like to go out
with you.' Englishmen are far more sheepish about it."
"I went to an all-girls boarding school for most of my youth. We
used to do stupid, fun girly things like pull tights over our faces
and streak through the lacrosse pitch. And once I snogged the
gardener."
Edie was skinnier than I was, so director George Hickenlooper wanted
me to lose weight. But I can't work that hard and not eat. He'd come
and try to snatch bagels out of my hands - On her role in Factory
Girl (2006).
"I'm a liberal at heart; I don't want to vote Conservative. I'd vote
Green, but I know it's a wasted vote or whatever, but it's the only
party with integrity. I'm not saying we live in a dictatorship, in a
fascist regime, because that's really disrespectful to people who do
live in countries that are." |
