Sienna Miller, the British boho babe, shot to fame by appearing on the arm of Jude Law and has continued to be best known for her tumultuous relationship and break up with the Hollywood star.

Yet in her new movie, “Factory Girl” - she is a star in her own right. Sienna plays the real life poor little rich girl Edie Sedgwick, an American socialite who moved to New York in 1965 and became embroiled in the hedonistic world of Andy Warhol’s Factory. The film depicts her rise to fame and then her subsequent demise.

Martha talks to Sienna about her own ascendance to fame, and the challenge she faced in portraying such a complex and tragic figure as Edie Sedgwick.

“Factory Girl” is on nationwide release from the 16th March.
