Sienna Rose Miller (born December 28, 1981) in New York City, Miller and her family moved to London when Sienna Miller was just over a year old. Sienna Miller father, Edwin Miller, is an American banker turned dealer of Chinese art. Miller has a sister, Savannah, two half-brothers, Charles and Stephen, and a stepsister, Natasha Corrett (the daughter of her father’s second wife, Kelly Hoppen). Miller attended Heathfield St Mary’s School, a boarding school in Ascot, Berkshire, and later studied for a year at the Lee Strasberg Institute in New York City. Sienna Miller carries both British and American passports, and acquired her first driving licence in the U.S. Virgin Islands, since it was easy to qualify, which allowed her to drive in both the U.S. and UK
Sienna Miller has settled her claim against the tabloid News of the World in a phone hacking case and will receive 100,000 pounds in compensation.
Reuters reports that Miller — star of “Factory Girl,” “Alfie” and a lengthy, rocky relationship with Jude Law — also was granted an injunction that will prevent further illegal access to her voicemails and publication of personal information.
Miller is one of several high-profile individuals who have pursued lawsuits — including Law, who filed a test case — against News Group Newspapers, the News International subsidiary that owns News of the World, for hacking into their phones and using information obtained from personal voice mails in published articles.
According to the Financial Times, Miller changed her cell phone number three times in three months when she became concerned that someone was tapping into her phone. Articles containing private information about Miller that was allegedly obtained via hacking were published in the News of the World back in 2005 and 2006.
Scotland Yard is currently investigating the phone hacking case, which has grown wide in scope and will likely involve compensation being paid to additional people, including Miller’s stepmother, interior designer Kelly Hoppen.
As the Guardian notes, Rupert Murdoch’s News International recently issued a public apology that acknowledged phone hacking is a rampant problem at the News of the World, as opposed to bad behavior committed by one reporter as the company originally claimed.
“Past behaviour at the News of the World in relation to voicemail interception is a matter of genuine regret,” the statement said. “It is now apparent that our previous inquiries failed to uncover important evidence and we acknowledge our actions then were not sufficiently robust.”
