Sienna Miller
Sienna Miller attends the International Medical Corps Annual Awards with NYLON at the Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons Hotel on October 23, 2014 in Beverly Hills, Calif.
For much of her career, Miller was known more for her tabloid headlines than her acting roles, especially after her phone was hacked by Rupert Murdoch's News of the World newspaper.
Now, the British actress has seven films out or in the works, including the new Clint Eastwood movie, "American Sniper," and the critically acclaimed "Foxcatcher."
New York City
"Do you view this kind of as a second act?" asked CBS News correspondent Anthony Mason.
"I think its impossible not to," Sienna Miller replied. "Maybe not a second act, because I'm 32 and I feel a little young for a second act! But, you know, a nice new chapter for sure."

"Factory Girl"
Sienna Miller won critical praise for playing Andy Warhol muse Edie Sedgwick in the 2006 film "Factory Girl," opposite Guy Pearce.
Miller told Anthony Mason that if she had a breakthrough film, it was "Factory Girl" - "Not because it was particularly successful, but I think critically it changed peoples' perception of me. I felt aware of a shift from that film. Like, people thought that maybe I could act a little bit, which was nice - I mean, they forgot very quickly!" she laughed.
"I think it surprised people in a way. And I think more for me it was a surprise. I didn't know that I was capable of doing some of the things that kind of happened in that film. It was a really surprising and fulfilling and quite alarming experience in a lot of ways. It was very deep. We all became totally immersed in it. Lee Strasberg would have been thrilled with the behavior going on on that set! I mean, I don't think Guy Pearce or I ever really stopped being Andy and Edie for the whole thing, just because it was great, not by design."
"Factory Girl"

"It was really fun being Edie Sedgwick," said Miller. "She was just a creation. She was a force. And she was unique and complicated, and so dark. I mean, it got a little weird.
"I researched it so intensely, and became very involved with people who are still alive who'd survived the Factory years with Warhol, who were all incredible personalities but, you know, slightly ravaged by those years.
"And then the Sedgwicks, I remember Jonathan Sedgwick, Edie's brother, meeting me and saying, 'I knew you'd come back.' I was, at the time, feeling a lot of what she felt, because [of] the head space I was in. So that was quite alarming."

Phone Hacking Inquiry

When intimate details of Miller's life began turning up in the British tabloid News of the World, she began suspecting her friends and family - until it broke that the newspaper owned by Rupert Murdoch's News International had been routinely hacking into the cellphones of celebrities, politicians and members of the royal family.
The actress decided to file suit against News of the World, and testified at the Leveson Inqury hearings into the tabloid press scandal.
Actor Hugh Grant, who was also hacked, called her "the real heroine and first one out of the trenches, walking towards the machine guns."

Miller told Anthony Mason it was scary to take on the Murdoch empire: "I realized quite early on that this was a decision that I had to make. I could have been paid off, and silenced. And I think that was happening a lot."
"Why didn't you just take the money and shut up?" asked Mason.
"Because it wasn't about the money," Miller said. "That would have been immoral for me."
In the end, Miller would win a $160,000 judgment. The News of the World was shut down, and Rupert Murdoch's son, James, the chairman of News International, was forced to resign.
"It was, you know, Goliath -- and I do feel a huge sense of personal pride in making that decision and sticking to it, and winning," she said.

"That's good - that's the point!" she laughed. "A lot of people have said that. So I'm gonna take that as a compliment. Dad didn't recognize me, which is alarming! I look a little bit ropey. That's English for, you know, not so good!"
