Biography

Sienna Tiggy Guillory was born in West London on May 31 1975 to Cuban guitarist Issac Guillory and his wife Tina. Raised in artistic and bohemian households first in Fulham and then in Norfolk, it was no surprise to her family when she turned to acting as a career.

Sienna’s first role was in Riders in 1993, whilst still at school. However, rather than rest on her laurels, after another small part Sienna returned to her studies and worked as a waitress. Two years later she returned to acting and whilst accompanying a friend to London’s Select model agency was signed up on the spot.

Her work as a model saw Sienna shoot to fame, she worked for big names such as Boss, Armani and Dolce and Gabanna and topped Esquire’s Most Eligible Women list in 2000. However, she was determined to continue acting and beat off competition for the role of Jenny Bunn in the Beeb’s adaptation of Take A Girl Like You.

This was followed up with further TV roles including Helen of Troy and The Virgin Queen as well as big screen jobs including Late Night Shopping and The Time Machine. However, it was Love, Actually and Resident Evil: Apocalypse which really made Sienna’s name. She has since appeared in several Hollywood productions most notably 2006’s Christmas release fantasy Eragon.

Married to Brit actor Nick Moran between 1997 and 2000 Sienna now lives in London with her new husband Enzo Cilenti.
