You may also remember her as Ana from “G.I.
Joe: The Rise of Cobra” or as Nina in “The Lost City of Z.”
More recently, she’s once again received praise for her turn in “Anatomy of a Scandal.”
So, how did Miller go from tabloid starlet to a private but esteemed actor?
Here is the stunning transformation of Sienna Miller.
However, her family soon relocated to England.
The pair divorced when Miller was a child.
Miller was educated at the all-girls Heathfield boarding school.
“I had a kind of privileged upbringing,” she toldDuJour.
Although Miller’s privileged upbringing helped her, it wasn’t always easy being away from home.
“I was 8 years old when I went to boarding school,” she later toldNews.com.au.
“For me, looking back, that was too young.
It was really hard, but you adapt.”
However, the experience did give her insights she wouldn’t have gained otherwise.
As Miller went on to explain, she later decided not to send her own daughter to boarding school.
In fact, she grew up fascinated by old movies and by the theater.
She also spent a lot of time as a child reading plays and books.
“I remember always putting on plays at home and dressing up.
“And so set up the Lee Strasberg school in London.
As Miller toldPorteryears later, New York always felt more like home than London.
“I think I’m more self-conscious in London,” she said.
“I feel like everyone’s seen my pants.”
Miller played Tammy, who ends up with Craig’s character by the end of the film.
“I was really naive, I think.
I was a young 21,” she said.
Miller wasn’t expecting the challenges that came with fame.
“I was very open,” she said.
“And that led me into all sorts of situations that backfired.”
By Christmas that year, he and Miller were engaged.
Their spokesperson toldPeople, “They are spectacularly happy.
He proposed to her on Christmas day with a gold band and nine diamonds.”
However, less than a year later, Law had an affair with his nanny.
He soon issued a public apology.
It was really hard.”
“We don’t see each other that much,” she toldPorterin 2016.
“I care about him enormously.”
In fact, throughout the mid-2000s, Miller was constantly hounded by paparazzi.
“Appearing in public when you’re extremely heartbroken.
Trying not to break.
All the while being mocked and ridiculed,” Miller said toThe Guardian, remembering the period.
It was, as she put it, “Hell, honestly.”
Years later, Miller reached a settlement with The Sun.
As she stated outside of court after the settlement was reached, “They very nearly ruined my life.
I have certainly seen how they have ruined the lives of others.”
“It feels like somebody else’s existence,” she toldElle U.K.in 2022.
I can’t quite believe that it all happened.
For Miller, having a child “changed everything.”
“The stakes are higher,” she explained toThe Guardian.
“You have someone that you want to be proud of you eventually.”
She also reached a new sense of mortality.
Things changed, on a practical level, too.
In her career, she began focusing on theater work or smaller film roles that she could film quickly.
She even found herself caring less about landing big parts.
First, it was Jude Law, then Tom Sturridge, the father of her daughter.
Later, she became engaged to Lucas Zwirner.
Miller has, it seems, remained good friends with each of her exes.
Although her engagement to Law ended with scandal, she still considers him a friend.
As for Sturridge, he has become both a co-parent and her best friend.
“It’s great for our daughter that she has two parents who love each other and are friends.
He’s definitely my best friend in the entire world.”
Miller’s relationship with Zwirner ended in 2020.
Despite her three engagements, Miller has no regrets.
“I was never somebody who dreamt of getting married,” she explained to DuJour.
“I’ve been engaged a few times, but I’ve never been married.
It’s better than three divorces, I think.”
“My 30s were hard.
Really hard,” she said.
“There was a lot of anxiety.
I love being a mother.”
“I wasted time.
And I felt like time was really my currency.”
Even though Miller didn’t love her 30s, she found herself relaxing when she reached her 40s.
“When I got to 40, it was like coming out of a clearing,” she described.
Finally, she felt like she was invincible.
And I also don’t give a f***.”
Joe: The Rise of Cobra," establishing herself as a movie star.
She made her Broadway debut in 2015 in a production of “Cabaret.”
In fact, when she was younger, she used to watch her performances and judge herself harshly.
“I was very, very critical.”
These days, Miller avoids watching her films altogether if she can.
As Miller explained toPorter, she feels that asking for equal pay is only fair.
Miller has even stated that she feels women often deservemorethan their male counterparts.
The role presented a new challenge for Miller in that the role was actually very similar to herself.
“I also play quite extreme characters.
I hide behind a lot of prosthetics or accents.
To want to just sort of take all of that away is intimidating and also exciting.”
Though the role was a challenge, Miller rose to it.
Critics were also blown away by her turn in the show.
And then I watched ‘American Woman’ and was blown away.
She is focused and intense, so moving without being manipulative."
Clearly, this was one challenge that Miller took in stride.
Since starring in “Anatomy of a Scandal,” Miller is looking forward to taking subtler roles.
Similarly, she told The Talks that she has no plans of stopping her work.
“That is the point of existence in many ways.
I love my job for that reason and I hope that I never grow out of it.”
Miller even toldThe Times, “I want to be doing this at 80.”
Chances are she will be.
