The world came to know the name Sienna Miller in the early Aughts. That’s when she starred in “Factory Girl” as Edie Sedgwick, costarred in “Layer Cake,” married Jude Law and the fashion world’s interest in the actress piqued.
But this year, Miller is experiencing the most meaningful and gratifying turns of her career thus far, with her new movie “American Woman.” It’s her first role as a main character, not bolstered by any other actors or playing the supportive wife or girlfriend of a man whose story stands front and center. The film also marks the first time she’s been able to delve into a woman character’s life in nuanced ways — and portray that experience on camera.
To celebrate the film, she and friends Emily Blunt, Aaron Paul, Helena Christensen, Billy Crudup and more attended a special showing sponsored by Gucci at Metrograph in New York on Thursday night. On the red carpet prior to the screening and the subsequent after party at the newly opened restaurant and club Omar’s, Miller discussed getting into character for “American Woman,” and her ambitions to branch out from acting — which includes starting her own production company.
