62 Siena Rose Miller


Sienna Rose Miller was born on December 28, 1981, in New York City, but she and her family moved to England while she was a child. Though Sienna studied at Lee Strasberg’s acting academy, her early career aspirations involved modeling. She was associated with popularizing the neo-hippie, boho-chic look that peaked in 2004 and 2005. Around the same time her acting career gained momentum and she landed TV and film roles in Keen Eddie (2003), Layer Cake (2004), Alfie (2004), Casanova (2005), Factory Girl (2006), and Interview (2007). She’s also well-known for the break up between her and ex-fiancé Jude Law.


Sienna joined our Top 99 at No. 86 in 2004 and leaped to No. 2 in 2006. Sienna ranks at No. 62 this year. Although she may have generated some bad publicity with her unfiltered comments regarding Pittsburgh, we still admire her for many reasons. First, she’s a stunner; second, she’s a talented actress; and finally she is involved in raising funds for several breast cancer organizations. Toward the end of 2006, her film Factory Girl enjoyed a limited release. In the film she plays Edie Sedgwick, girlfriend of Andy Warhol. Also, her split with Jude Law became permanent and she has since been romantically linked to both London club owner Marc Burton and actor Hayden Christensen.


Sienna’s year began with some controversy, as there is still some grumbling about the comments she made regarding Pittsburgh during the filming of The Mysteries of Pittsburgh. Since her father is from Pennsylvania, we think she can be forgiven. What’s more, Lou Reed and especially Bob Dylan have expressed disdain for how they are portrayed in Factory Girl; reports indicate that Dylan has lawyers poised to strike. Interview, her film with Steve Buscemi, is making the rounds at indie festivals and Sienna has completed work on the films Camille and Stardust, both set for release in 2007.
