Sienna Miller was born in New York City on December 28, 1981. Her parents got divorced when she was very young and she moved to England with her mother.

After school, Sienna discovered her passion for acting and joined the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute in New York. She started performing in plays including The Striker, Independence, and Oscar-winning director Anthony Minghella's Cigarettes & Chocolate.
