Sienna Miller stopped by ABC's GOOD MORNING AMERICA to talk about her new film BURNT in which she stars opposite Bradley Cooper. During the interview, the actress discussed the current debate of unequal pay for male and female actresses in Hollywood and shared a recent situation that she had experienced on Broadway.

"It was a situation where there were two people in a play and I was offered less than half of what the male was offered and I was pretty set that if that was two men that wouldn't have happened." She adds, "It would have felt undignified for me." Watch the appearance below!

Most recently, Sienna Miller played the role of Sally Bowles in the Broadway revival of CABARET, at Studio 54. In 2008, she was nominated for the BAFTA Rising Star Award, while for her role as Tippi Hedren in the 2012 TV film The Girl, she was nominated for a BAFTA TV Award for Best Actress and a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. Her film roles include the crime thriller Layer Cake (2004), the comedy Alfie (2004), the biopic Factory Girl (2006), the drama The Edge of Love (2008) and the military Science fiction action film G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009). In 2014, she starred in two biographical dramas, Foxcatcher, playing Nancy Schultz, and American Sniper, portraying Taya Kyle.

In mid-2015, Miller began filming Ben Affleck's 1930s gangster drama Live by Night. On January 7, 2015, it was announced that Miller would assume the role of Sally Bowles in the Studio 54 Broadway revival of Cabaret.
