She's famous because she was Jude Law's girlfriend when he fucked the nanny. She's famous because she was Balthazar Getty's girlfriend while he was married. And then she did a few movies here and there and she morphed into something completely mutant.

For the most part, she acts in movies that I really want to see and does a good job in them. She was fantastic in the underrated "Casanova" and in "Stardust." I like her except when she disses Pittsburgh.

You could probably see Anna Wintour's brain through those cavernous nostrils . . .

Despite other posts, I think "Factory Girl" is what started it. Before it was released, Harvey Weinstein claimed her performance was incredible and Oscar-worthy. In fact, the movie was so-so. This kind of bs is normal but can ruin an actress (especially when she follows it up by flashing tits and sleeping around). With TV, talentless fucks like the Kardashians can find some kind of fame. With film, audiences still like to choose who's worth watching rather than having it forced upon them.

"Interview" with Miller and Buscemi is one of my favorite films, primarily because it makes me feel that I'm having scotch and cigarettes *with* them.

The truth is you could be Helen of Troy and the Vogue team would still shred you into microscopic pieces. That's just what they do. I don't think it was based on any particular snub to Sienna; they give the same "Ew, you can see one of her pores. How disgusting! Can we get some Photoshop over here?" treatment to each and every woman who graces their pages.
It's not the first time Sienna's been on their cover, after all. If they wanted to slight her they would have simply used someone else--landing the September cover is a pretty big deal.
Anna Wintour's snobby little bunny nose wrinkle made me want to stuff something in her nostrils. Very badly.

The media has been trying to make me care about Sienna Miller for years. She's been the next "it girl" about twelve times. I don't care, media. She is boring.

@Callinectes: I think that is exactly why Sienna Miller has struggled to gain a foothold with the American public. I think the ticket-buying audience generally hates the concept of the "it" girl: those stick-thin blondes no one has ever heard of before until Vogue or Vanity Fair opines that they're the next big thing, and, don't you know, they're fashion icons too? And they can act, or at least Harvey Weinstein thinks so (and is willing to fund an expensive marketing campaign telling us so). It sort of worked with Gwyneth Paltrow because she won that Oscar, but nobody really likes her, and it ruined Gretchen Mol's career even though I find her hella more appealing than either Fishsticks or Miller.

And she slept with a married man.

she was in alfie, she hooked up with jude law, i think she did that casanova flick with heath ledger...oh, and the edie sedgwick thing.
she has a career because the casting directors and whatnot have a hard on for her. that and the whole jude law thing. that's why she's famous.

So am I the only one who enjoyed Sienna's portrayal as Edie in Factory Girl?

@skymotel: I had to go look her up in IMDB. I didn't realize that was her. She was very good in the role.
She was also in Layer Cake, which is rather forgettable.

@skymotel: No, I thought she was great. The Yank accent and everything...the movie itself was a little bit like Seventeen Magazine Presents...The Edie Sedgwick Story, but I thought her performance was just fine.
I also don't understand why she gets all the shite for being B. Getty's mistress when he's the married one; he and his wife have this arrangement (a lot of Gettys do).

@otherginger: Exactly! So Sienna's made some poor choices in guys. Who hasn't? At least she hit it with Jude before he started knocking up every wannabe lingerie model he sees.

The only three things I’ve ever seen her in were good. Layer Cake, Factory Girl and Stardust.

No comment on GI Joe, based in previews alone, I think the only two words of dialogue are “accelerator suit”, and the whole cast walks around just saying that like “Malkovitch malkovitch”.

Very well-kept secret, but she's not a bad actress. I thought she was wonderful in Interview, and her Edie Sedgwick could not have been improved on. Too bad she doesn't pick better roles and boyfriends.

They should go after Diane Kruger instead. She's semi-famous for nothing.

I like her. Her humanitarian trip to war-torn regions in the Congo turned me on to her existential seriousness.
Okay -- She waited I think 4 or 5 days after the trip before she started partying again like a rock star.
But still.
