Biography
Childhood
Liv was born on July 1st, 1977 in New York in the name of Liv Rundgren.
Her mom Bebe Buell, and her mom's life-partner Todd Rundgren, raised her as parents.
Liv thought her dad was Todd Rundgren.
Shortly after Liv's birth, her mom broke up with Todd and moved up with Liv to Portland, Maine.

In her childhood, Liv was living discursively with her mom, her aunt Annie at Maine, and her grandmother Dorothea Johnson at Virginia. Already as a little girl, she loved to perform - dress up in her mothers cloths and make up and put on a show in front of her mother's friends. Liv insists that she was a normal kid, just incredibly tall compared to her class-mates and chubby ...



Liv found out that her real father is Steven Tyler at the age of 9. it was at an Aerosmith concert.
Liv began to suspect earlier: "I didn't know what it was, but I started to see him more, and it would mean so much to me that I would write about it in my diary," she says. "I was very confused.", Aerosmith's concert put an end to the suspects.

Liv's half-sister Mia (the second daughter of Steven Tyler), whom Liv never saw before, was in that concert too.

When Liv saw that she looked remarkably like her, she had no doubt - Steven Tyler's daugher is her sister - which means that the man who's performing on stage is her father.

Later that evening, Liv's mom told her the truth: "I turned to my mom and said, 'He's my father, isn't he ?', and we went out under a tree and talked and cried for two hours."
At the age of 12 Liv changed her last name to Tyler.

Career
When Liv was 14 she moved back with her mom to NY.
A friend of the family, Paulina Porizkova - a famous model herself - convinced Liv to start modeling - and the rest is history ...

Instantly Liv's career as a model sky-rocketed, and Liv found herself on the cover of big Magazines like Seventeen, Interview and Mirabella.
Liv's first major revelation to the world came in 1994, when she was 16, in Aerosmith's clip - Crazy.
Liv was embarrassed by her sexy appearances - but got the adoration of millions of teenagers around the world.
Father was happy too ;-)

At that year Liv started filming her first 2 movies - Silent Fall (1994) and Heavy (1995).
Liv tasted it, and liked it! She decided to quit modeling and concentrate on her acting career.
At age 17, Liv filmed her 3rd movie - Empire Records (1995), but her breakthrough came from her next film - Stealing Beauty (1996). The legendary director Bernardo Bertolucci chose Liv over hundreds of actresses.
Liv got acclaims on her performance, and was the highlight of '96 Cannes film festival where giant photos of her peered placidly from billboards all over town.
This film established Liv as a Movie Star - performing opposite other stars like Tom Hanks [That Thing You Do! (1996)] and Bruce Willis [Armageddon (1998)] and working with best directors around.

Liv chooses her films carefully. She avoids big movies and prefers the smaller, more quality ones.
Her movies include Inventing The Abbotts (1997), with her former boyfriend Joaquin Phoenix, Cookie's Fortune (1999) by Robert Altman, Plunkett & Macleane (1999) and Onegin (1999) with Ralph Fiennes.
Liv has been working very hard in the past years, her movies includes Dr. T and the Women (2000) - another comedy by Robert Altman along with Richard Gere and Kate Hudson, One Night At McCool's (2001) - the major role in a black comedy along with Michael Douglas, Matt Dillon, John Goodman and Paul Raiser and Lord Of The Rings movie series (2001-2003) - 3 movies based on the famous trilogy by J.R.R Tolkien - in the role of Arwen the elf princess.



Liv - the person
Despite her star status and her fame, Liv is known by her "down to earth" attitude, charm and kindness. The word "arrogance" doesn't exist in her lexicon. Somehow Liv managed to keep her private life just that. The restraint has served Liv well, making her seem more mature than many of her peers and, perhaps, even her parents.
She doesn't care for the nightclubbing high lifestyle and has said she envies her friends' college days.
Not that she's unhappy. "A lot has happened these last couple of years. But it's exhilarating," she said in '96, "It doesn't feel like too much. At least, not more than I can handle."
Dad agrees: "Liv has got all the talent in the world, but she also has the character to go with the talent, And she sure as hell didn't get that from me!" - - - - Source: LovelyLivTyler.Com

I love that movie! Steve Martin is one of the funniest men ever.

I am sad at the thought of this. I would have loved to see her in those movies. I can understand her reason for turning down Fear. I loved Reese in the movie, but knowing that it could have been Liv. That is going to pain me for some time.

Pav

I like it, it sounds exotic.
