Biography of Liv Tyler

Liv Tyler Biography

Liv Tyler was born on 1st July 1977, in Portland, Maine. She is the daughter of Steven Tyler, the famous front man of the band Aerosmith. Liv Tyler 's half sister, Mia Tyler, is a fashion model for Lane Bryant. Liv Tyler is presently starring as Arwen in the mega-box-office hit "Lord of the Rings- Trilogy", and the smell of an Academy Award lingers in the air. At the age of fourteen, Liv Tyler moved to New York to begin a modeling career and decided after a year to become an actress.

At just over five-foot-ten, endowed with blazing blue eyes and flawless porcelain skin, Liv Tyler has a unique natural sultry sophistication about her. Liv Tyler 's childhood story is of an ugly duckling who turned into a swan, beginning as a chubby brace-faced adolescent by her own account. After puberty delivered some decided improvements to her physique, a close family friend Paulina Porizkova, coaxed her out of her baggy blue jeans long enough to pose for some portfolio photographs. Within a few months of the photos, Liv Tyler began decorating such fashion magazines as Seventeen and Mirabella.

While shooting a commercial on location in the stifling Amazon the following year, Liv Tyler decided she wanted to pursue acting. Ironically, a cinema agent read about the intriguing Liv Tyler in an article by The New York Times concerning children of the rich and famous, and officially "discovered" her. Liv Tyler 's first feature role was as the older sister of an autistic boy in the Bruce Beresford straight-to-video drama "Silent Fall". Liv Tyler was the hit of the 1996 Cannes Film Festival, where "Stealing Beauty" was entered in competition, and French critics ooh-la-laed over the young actress. In 1997, Liv Tyler was chosen by People magazine as one of the 50 Most Beautiful People in the World. With this extravagant exposure, Liv Tyler became an instant sex symbol video vixen.

Liv Tyler The love child of an eight-month-long relationship between former Ford model, Playboy Playmate, sometime singer, and rock groupie Bebe Buell and full-lipped Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, little Liv Tyler grew up believing that her mother's long-term boyfriend, rock musician Todd Rundgren, was her father. After all, her birth certificate said so. An early backstage introduction to Liv Tyler at a Rundgren show, however, planted a niggling suspicion in her ten-year-old brain, and a subsequent encounter at an Aerosmith concert with Tyler's daughter Mia, who was like a rubber stamp of Liv, prompted the curious young girl to confront her mother about the subject of her paternity. Buell confirmed that the Jagger-esque rocker was indeed her biological father, and Liv Tyler subsequently adopted the name Tyler as her own by her twelfth birthday. She has since remarked shruggingly of the whole situation, "It was the seventies."

Liv Tyler is most definitely the product of newfangled parenting. A permissive upbringing by Buell, who unashamedly discusses with anyone who will listen her free-wheeling rock-chick love experiences with the likes of Mick Jagger, Elvis Costello, Jimmy Page, David Bowie, and Rod Stewart, nevertheless conferred upon Liv Tyler a remarkably level head. To give credit where it's due, though, Buell evidenced quite a savvy business head when it came to managing the early stages of Liv Tyler's modeling and acting careers. She had the foresight to steer her daughter away from a proffered lead in the sexploitative embarrassment Showgirls, and lapsed in sound judgment only when it came to Liv's appearance with rival teen goddess Alicia Silverstone in her father's now-classic music video for Aerosmith's "Crazy" in 1994. By virtue of her sassy romping about in a silver bra, Liv Tyler became an instant sex symbol- a "video vixen"- to a slavering following of what her mother calls "psychos." Who would have guessed? As for Steven Tyler, he and his progeny have become fast friends in the years since their rapprochement- in fact, one of their favorite things to do together is to have "slumber parties" at which they swap beauty tips and give each other facials. Says Tyler of his contribution to Liv's personhood (apart from the obvious legacy of his lip genes and more teeth than nature intended for any creature but a shark to have), "What she inherited from me was just the great art of being herself.

Liv Tyler 's next big act's came in Tom Hanks' directorial debut, "That Thing You Do", in which she played the groupie girlfriend of a small town band, Circa 1964. Her success followed with Pat O'Connor's, "Inventing the Abbotts", in which she played another small town sweetheart. Liv Tyler then entered the big budget arena in 1998, co-starring with Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck in Disney's "Armageddon".
