Sienna Miller, the English actress famed for her roles in movies such as Layer Cake, Alfie, Factory Girl, and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, has often addressed questions about her height in interviews.
On Style.com, she mentioned standing at “five foot six.” However, in a separate interview with Allure, she stated her height as “five feet five and a half.”
Her actual height is approximately 5ft 5in (165.1 cm)—right around the average height for English women. While she may not be the tallest actress in Hollywood, Miller effortlessly elongates her frame with an impeccable selection of high heels.

Winning an Oscar is supposed to be the pinnacle, right? The ultimate stamp of approval, the golden ticket to prestige projects and paychecks. But how could it ever be that simple? There’s a long history of actors who, after basking in the glow of their Academy Award moment, have suddenly found themselves struggling to land roles, battling weird industry backlash, or – if they happen to be a woman – being deemed “too difficult” overnight.
Some just call it the Oscar curse, because Hollywood loves to anoint a star, but it also loves to tear one down. Having said that, there’s a rare breed of actors who not only win an Oscar but do it again. And again. So who are these titans of the Academy, the actors who didn’t just win but kept winning?

Heavy is the head that wears the antler crown.
As if the teen survivors in Yellowjackets needed more drama in their lives, the series’ full Season 3 trailer — released Thursday — makes it seem as though newly minted Antler Queen Natalie might not be long for the throne.
Teen Shauna, in particular, seems invested in knocking her teammate out of the power position she acquired at the end of Season 2.. A little unhinged, no? (Though, in everyone’s defense, pretty much everything about their situation in the woods has become a little-to-a-lot unhinged.)

One of the many reasons that Michael Caine is often cited as being one of the greatest actors of all-time is his ability to reinvent himself. Although Caine became a star thanks to his charismatic performances in Sleuth and Alfie, he was able to stay relevant to a younger generation thanks to the key roles he played in The Muppet Christmas Carol and the various films directed by Christopher Nolan. It is great to see that Caine was able to stay so active, but he did have to step away from some of the genres he was most closely associated with due to his advancing age; early on in his career, Caine played many military serviceman and morally ambiguous criminals. Hollywood does not often give the chance to older actors to get one last shot at the spotlight, but Caine gave one of his best performances ever in the gritty crime thriller Harry Brown,...

Charles Shyer, the writer and director behind some of the most memorable comedies of their eras, has passed away at the age of 83.
Charles Shyer’s first film credit – after penning episodes of The Odd Couple and Happy Days – came with 1977’s Smokey and the Bandit, lending to what would become a fast-paced, quip-filled comedy that would be one of the highest-grossing movies of the year. Shyer would garner more industry attention with the following year’s House Calls, sharing a WGA nomination.
He would go on to win a Writers Guild of America Award for Private Benjamin, which found Goldie Hawn as a privileged 20-something who joins the army. Shyer, along with a team that also included frequent collaborator and one-time wife Nancy Meyers, would be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.

Charles Shyer, the director and Oscar-nominated writer who teamed with then-wife Nancy Meyers on such audience-pleasing, feel-good comedies as Private Benjamin, Irreconcilable Differences, Baby Boom and Father of the Bride, has died. He was 83.
Shyer died Friday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after a brief illness, his daughter Hallie Meyers-Shyer, writer and director of the 2017 Reese Witherspoon comedy Home Again, told The Hollywood Reporter.
The son of veteran assistant director Melville Shyer, one of the founders of the DGA, Shyer started out writing for sitcoms like The Odd Couple and The Partridge Family with then-partner Alan Mandel before they broke into the movies with the box office smash Smokey and the Bandit (1977), starring Burt Reynolds and Sally Field.
Shyer’s career skyrocketed when he joined forces with Meyers and Harvey Miller to pen the screenplay for Private Benjamin (1980), directed by Howard Zieff and featuring Goldie Hawn in her first big-screen starring role.

Michael Caine's perfect James Bond replacement, The Ipcress File, was unfortunately cut short by two back-to-back sequel flops. With more than 175 acting credits to his name, Caine has starred in classic movies such as The Man Who Would Be King (1975), Hannah and Her Sisters (1986), Get Carter (1971), and Alfie (1966). Caine is also celebrated for starring in several of Christopher Nolan's best movies, such as Interstellar, Inception, The Dark Knight, and The Prestige.
The Ipcress File was released in 1965 and starred Caine and a clever spy in London named Harry Palmer. The film was directed by Sidney J. Furie and also featured appearances by Nigel Green, Guy Doleman, Sue Lloyd, and Gordon Jackson. The Ipcress File received an impressive Rotten Tomatoes score of 97% matched with an audience score of 85%. The success and acclaim of the first film sparked two back-to-back sequels in 1966 and 1967, which tanked hard and essentially sunk the spy franchise.

Michael Caine is often regarded as one of the greatest actors of all time. Between winning two Best Supporting Actor Oscars for Hannah and Her Sisters and The Cider House Rules, giving a genuinely heartbreaking performance in The Muppet Christmas Carol, and making himself known to younger audiences thanks to his collaborations with Christopher Nolan, Caine has managed to be an icon within multiple generations. Caine’s big breakout came thanks to the 1966 romantic drama Alfie, which explored the challenges that come with being a womanizer in a darkly comedic way. Although the film was regarded as an untouchable British classic, the remake of Alfie was able to feel relevant thanks to the excellent performance by Jude Law.

There’s nothing more disheartening for a movie fan than when you go see a movie with a bunch of your friends, and while you absolutely love the movie, when the lights come on, and you walk out, you realize your friends absolutely Hated it. Sometimes this is justified, such as when my group of buddies rightly accused me of being insane for loving Die Another Day. At other times, they’re dead wrong, such as when one of my best friends tried to convince me Rushmore was bad (believe it or not – this also happened at The Matrix – but with a different friend). Another time I was totally disheartened by the reaction of a group of friends was back in the fall of 2004 when a group of us went to see Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow on opening night.

Way before Ferris Buller's Day Off creatively broke the boundaries of the fourth wall, dozens of significant movies creatively utilized the cinematic technique, but none can compare to the influence of the world's first Cockney film — 1966's Alfie. Adapted from the 1963 play by Bill Naughton, Alfie starred one of the most acclaimed British actors of all time, and came about during the rise of the “kitchen sink” realism movement, where protagonists depicted the domestic situations of working-class Brits.

Actor Jude Law is raising concerns about a disturbing trend in modern filmmaking: eliminating mid-budget films that stress storytelling above spectacle. As he prepares for his new Disney+ Star Wars series, Law has openly criticized the current film industry, which promotes big-budget franchises and streaming entertainment.
In recent interviews with the Associated Press and British GQ, the two-time Oscar contender discussed the changing landscape of film production. He cited his earlier works, such as “The Talented Mr. Ripley” (1999) and “Cold Mountain” (2003), as examples of subtle storytelling, which he believes is becoming increasingly rare.
“Giving the correct budget and time and patience to stories like that is absolutely at the heart of filmmaking,” Law pointed out. “Right now, there’s a gaping hole in the type of films being made.”
Law’s condemnation is not directed at big-budget productions. Instead, he emphasizes the distinct worth of mid-range films, which enable richer...

The 2x Oscar nominee, whose Disney+ series Star Wars: Skeleton Crew premieres Monday, recently reflected on his early years as an actor making mid-budget films, which he says currently represent “a gaping hole” in the entertainment industry.
“I mean, I feel very lucky that when I came into this business, they were making [mid-budget films],” Law told the Associated Press. “And some of those first films that I got to make with people like Anthony (Minghella), looking back now, it’s remarkable that we were allowed to get away with that.

Jude Law is an accomplished actor with a BAFTA win along with two Academy Award nominations, but there's one movie he stars in that he's really not proud of. Two decades after its release, Law has opened up about the regrets he feels for starring in the 2004 movie Alfie.
Alfie, which was inspired by the stage play and previous film adaptation starring Michael Caine, featured Law in the lead role of Alfie Elkins Jr., a womanizer who attempts to give monogamy a try. Marisa Tomei, Omar Epps, Nia Long, Sienna Miller, and Jane Krakowski also starred. The romantic dramedy was a dud, earning $35 million against a budget of $60 million. Its critical reception was mixed, with the film holding a rotten score of 48% on the Tomatometer on Rotten Tomatoes. Looking back at the movie's lack of success 20 years later, Law admitted to GQ it was the wrong move to star in Alfie,...

Its critical reception was mixed, with the film holding a rotten score of 48% on the Tomatometer on Rotten Tomatoes. Looking back at the movie's lack of success 20 years later, Law admitted to GQ it was the wrong move to star in Alfie,...

Despite his many memorable leading man performances over the years, Jude Law has at least one regret in his filmography.
The 2x Oscar nominee recently reflected on director Charles Shyer’s 2004 remake of Alfie as a “bad move” for his career following Academy Award-nominated performances in Cold Mountain (2003) and The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999).
“I was in a really strong position [at that time] because I’d just had another [Oscar] nomination on the back of Cold Mountain, and for Alfie to be the film I chose to do quite soon after that, I think was a bad move,” Law told British GQ.
After Michael Caine portrayed the titular playboy in the original 1966 film, followed by Alan Price in the 1975 sequel Alfie Darling, Law was left underwhelmed by an early screening of his own rendition.
“I just felt it hadn’t elevated [the material] and felt a little light, a little too cheesy,” he admitted. “I think...

In the late '90s and early 2000s, Jude Law was at the top of his game. Films like Gattaca and Existenz helped propel him into the limelight, and hed follow them up with The Talented Mr. Ripley and Cold Mountain. Those two movies earned him the only Academy Award nominations of his career thus far, and while most actors would choose their roles carefully after receiving such a prestigious honor, Law says he regrets the "cheesy" film he decided to do next: Alfie.
Released in 2004, Law starred in the romantic comedy as Alfie Elkins Jr., a womanizing limo driver who exploits his job to sleep with countless beauties, only to cause harm to those around him, such as his single-mom girlfriend (Marisa Tomei), and best friend (Omar Epps).

Jude Law admitted in an interview with GQ Magazine UK that it was a “bad move” to sign on to star in 2004’s “Alfie” after earning his second Oscar nomination. Law earned raves for “Cold Mountain” and competed for best actor at the Academy Awards. Then came “Alfie,” a remake of the 1966 film starring Michael Caine. The movie flopped at the box office and was mostly panned by critics.
“I was in a really strong position [at that time] because I’d just had another [Oscar] nomination on the back of ‘Cold Mountain,'” Law said, “and for ‘Alfie’ to be the film I chose to do quite soon after that, I think was a bad move. I just felt it hadn’t elevated [the material] and felt a little light, a little too cheesy. I think it was made for too much money, and I was probably paid too much money, which I underestimated at the time.

Jude Law’s most beloved character Mr. Napkin Head almost had a very different origin story.
While fans of Nancy Meyers’ 2006 “The Holiday” are well-versed in the lore of Law’s single father character donning a white napkin over his face and wearing glasses, it turns out that the bit was originally for an entirely different movie: “Alfie.”
Law told Variety that the Mr. Napkin Head scene was cut from the 2004 feature, and Meyers took inspiration from it.
“I’d actually done Mr. Napkin Head before,” Law says. “I did ‘Alfie’ with Charles Shyer, who had been married to Nancy Meyers. And Charles included Mr. Napkin Head in ‘Alfie,’ but the scene got cut. And then I did Nancy’s film, and Mr. Napkin Head was in that.”

I can’t keep up with him.
On a recent September afternoon, Jude Law is running away from the set of “Black Rabbit,” a Netflix miniseries where he plays a Manhattan nightclub owner who welcomes his troublemaker brother back into his life. Today’s setup, shot in the South Street Seaport, involves a flashback sequence between Law’s character and his scraggly sibling, played by Jason Bateman. Law and I are supposed to meet in the lobby of a hotel after the scene wraps, but filming goes over, and his assistant, Ryan, texts me that Law wants to talk to me as he walks to his trailer a few blocks away.

Spoiler Alert: This piece contains spoilers for Emily in Paris season 4 part 1.
Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) has made her choice between Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) and Alfie (Lucien Laviscount).
The third episode of Emily in Paris season 4 watched she and Gabriel get together at the Heartbreak Ball, a masquerade event promoting Antoine’s (William Abadie) new perfume that he needs to sell amid his divorce from Catherine (Charley Fouquet). They share a very Bridgerton-like carriage ride away from the event, determined to make the most of the moment, but the second half of the show still awaits, with plenty of unraveling cliffhangers that set up for more chaos.
“I did want to make it satisfying. I did want to give them a moment of really finding each other and feeling that spark that’s always been between them and getting to have some really lovely moments together, but at the same time,...

Emily in Paris is another Netflix series that follows the streamer's somewhat recent release strategy for popular shows. Like projects such as Stranger Things and You before it, Emily in Paris season 4 is divided into two parts, with the second releasing almost exactly one month after the first. The strategy mostly works, even though the series' episodes are not that long to warrant the divide, and Emily in Paris Season 4 - Part 1 has the perfect cutting-off point to set up many debates in the month it takes for Part 2 to arrive.

Emily is back, and Netflix promises she’s ready to chic things up.
Emily in Paris‘ long-awaited fourth season finally has a trailer (below). The season will put one stiletto in front of the other to walk the path set out by some of the streamer’s other biggest hits (Stranger Things, Cobra Kai and Bridgerton, to name a few) and will get a split-season release. Part one releases five episodes on Aug. 15, followed by part two’s five episodes hitting Sept. 12.
Season three left the hit show starring Lily Collins as Emily Cooper with a series of lingering bombshell reveals for Emily (involving a love triangle between Lucas Bravo’s Gabriel and Lucien Laviscount’s Alfie) and the rest of the cast. The trailer sees the protagonist of the comedy trying to move on after season three’s revelations and may find her circling around to a big decision by season’s end.

Our journey through Michael Caine’s 80s work reaches one of his best: Educating Rita, co-starring a powerhouse Julie Walters in the title role.
Michael Caine showed no sign of slowing down as he entered his third decade as a leading man. The 1980s would see him win his first Academy Award (Hannah And Her Sisters), tackle new genres such as horror (The Hand) and shark-based revenge movie (Jaws The Revenge) while continuing to work with interesting new auteurs like Brian De Palma (Dressed to Kill) as well as old friends from classic Hollywood such as John Huston (Escape To Victory).
Film by film, I’ll be taking a look at Caine’s 1980s filmography to see what hidden gems I can unearth alongside the more familiar classics…

Looking back to his claim to fame following 1999’s The Talented Mr. Ripley, Jude Law is “proud” of how he handled all the extra attention and scrutiny.
The Oscar-nominated actor had already landed several movie and theater roles early in his career, but it was the Anthony Minghella-directed movie, in which he starred alongside Matt Damon and Gwyneth Paltrow, that truly changed his life.
“It was just a wonderful period of my life,” Law recently told People magazine. “It felt like everything I’d hoped acting and that career could provide was happening.”
He added of the film, “The success, or the response it got, was life-changing. Really.”
While Law initially relished in his newfound Hollywood fame, he quickly realized some of the negative sides of the spotlight — the extra eyes on his private life.

"I didn't feel like I really ever leaned into playing handsome," said Jude Law, speaking to DuJour in 2024. "[...] I was trying to play against my looks in my early 20s, and now that I'm saggy and balding, I wish I had played it up."
He's got a point. A survey of the English actor's roles after becoming a bigger name in the '90s reveals that he rarely played good-looking stand-up guys when he was younger. Not only that, but on those occasions where he did lean into his natural beauty, he would often play some kind of cad (like he did in "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and "Alfie") or a character whose insecure, selfish behavior makes it difficult to appreciate his gorgeous features (like in "Closer" and "I Heart Huckabees").

Jude Law is ready to be challenged by screenwriter Justin Kuritzkes.
Law shared in an interview with Vanity Fair that he is set to work with “Challengers” scribe Kuritzkes on a Mike Nichols-inspired film.
“I’m developing a project with Justin Kuritzkes, who just wrote ‘Challengers,'” Law said. “The thing that bonded us was Mike Nichols. I said, ‘I think this is a Mike Nichols film.’ He was like, ‘Well, you would know.’ He felt the same when he went into ‘Challengers.'”
While Law kept the details of their upcoming project under wraps, he did reveal there would be a “sexual-social intercourse” element, much like in tense love triangle dramedy “Challengers” and late filmmaker Nichols’ famed works. Nichols directed Law in the 2004 romantic quadrangle drama “Closer.”

Meeting John Wayne led to Michael Caine's surprising career advice tip: talk low, talk slow, and don't say too much. John Wayne advised Caine to never wear suede shoes after he had a hilarious encounter involving a starstruck man and urine. The advice came during a turning point in Caine's career as his fame was growing, spurred by his performance in the hit movie Alfie.
A surprising encounter with John Wayne led to Michael Caine receiving some unexpected career advice from a Hollywood icon. Having been active in the movie industry since the 1950s, it's not necessarily surprising that over the course of his long career, Caine has crossed paths with a long list of A-list actors, many of which being stars from Hollywood's past.
Among those are Harry Andrews, Laurence Olivier, Angie Dickinson, Shirley MacLaine, James Caan, and even John Wayne. Many were actors Caine worked with professionally,...

What will you ask the brilliant actor, author, cake decorator and star of new film A Family Affair?
Jane Asher has been on our screens for almost 73 years – her first role was aged five, in Mandy, and she turns 78 on 5 May. But it was aged 17 she really shot to big screen prominence, opposite Vincent Pryce in The Masque of the Red Death.
Then, two years later, in 1966, came Alfie, in which she plays a hitchhiker who becomes the latest in Michael Caine’s litany of conquests; in 1970 she was the lead in Jerzy Skolimowski’s suburban psychodrama Deep End.
