Liv Tyler (born
Liv Rundgren, on July 1, 1977 at Mount Sinai Hospital in
New York City, New York) is an American actress most
famous for her roles of Grace Stamper in Armageddon and
Arwen in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy trilogy
(2001–2003).
Early and personal life: Tyler is the
illegitimate daughter of Steven Tyler, the lead singer
of Aerosmith; and Bebe Buell, a model and singer. Having
grown up with the understanding that rock star Todd
Rundgren was her biological father, she only found out
the truth about her parentage at age 9, after noticing
that Steven Tyler's daughter Mia Tyler looked like her
twin. She then changed her name from Liv Rundgren to Liv
Tyler but kept Rundgren as a middle name. Liv's mother
named her after Norwegian actress Liv Ullmann.
In 1979-80 Bebe Buell was romantically involved with
Stiv Bators and Bators lived with the two of them in
Portland, Maine for a period where Bebe kept a house.
Liv's father was also rumored to be Ritchie Blackmore,
guitarist of Deep Purple and Rainbow. The rumor was
started by Elissa Perry the wife of Aerosmith guitarist
Joe Perry who apparently wanted to put doubt into
Tyler's mind that he might be the father. She attended
Breakwater elementary school and waynflete school for
middle amd high school.
Career: After starting a career as a model (with
a height of 5' 10"), she quickly moved into acting.
She first became known to TV audiences when she starred
alongside Alicia Silverstone in the Aerosmith music
video "Crazy" in 1993. Later, she was cast
almost simultaneously for Silent Fall and Heavy; the
filming of Heavy was delayed until she became available.
By the age of 20, she had already starred in several
successful movies, including Stealing Beauty, That Thing
You Do! and Inventing the Abbotts.
Although it was her appearance in Armageddon (which was
released on her 21th birthday, and included the song
"I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" by her father's
band) that made her known to a very wide public, she has
proven herself in more sophisticated acting challenges
such as Onegin (based on the 19th century Russian novel
by Alexander Pushkin), in which she convincingly
portrayed the character of Tatyana Larina, and two
movies directed by Robert Altman: Cookie's Fortune and
Dr. T & the Women. Her most successful role came in
the Lord of the Rings trilogy, in which she played Arwen
Undómiel.
Born in Portland, ME, on July 1, 1977, to model and
former 1970s rock groupie Bebe Buell, Tyler spent most
of her youth believing that rocker Todd Rundgren was her
father.
However, as she grew older, she began to notice more
than a passing resemblance between herself and Aerosmith
frontman Steven Tyler, who was a family friend, and she
ultimately discovered that he was indeed her biological
father. When she was 12, she took Tyler's last name as
her own.
After experiencing obligatory preteen awkwardness --
hers featured braces and a bit of a weight problem --
Tyler had blossomed enough by the time she was 14 to
consider modeling. She moved to New York City in the
company of her mother and began to pursue a career.
After appearing on the covers of magazines like
Seventeen and Mirabella, Tyler got her first taste of
acting while filming a television commercial. She made
her film debut in 1994, as the sister of an autistic boy
in Bruce Beresford's Silent Fall, appearing in the
mystery alongside Richard Dreyfuss and Linda Hamilton.
Following this fairly auspicious debut, Tyler's next
project, 1995's Empire Records, proved a disappointment
on both commercial and critical levels. Tyler kept at
it, next starring as the unrequited love interest of a
reclusive pizza maker (Pruitt Taylor Vince) in James
Mangold's Heavy that same year.
Her work in the critically hailed film won her wide
praise and her career began to take off. Tyler's
breakthrough came the following year in Bernardo
Bertolucci's Stealing Beauty. Starring as a 19-year-old
who comes to Italy to find her father and lose her
virginity, she suddenly became Hollywood's new
"It" Girl, appearing on magazine covers and as
one of People's "50 Most Beautiful" in 1997.
After a lead as one of the titular Abbott sisters in
Inventing the Abbotts (1997) and a brief cameo in U-Turn
the same year, Tyler stepped into the realm of bloated
budgets and even more bloated box-office returns with
her role as Bruce Willis' daughter and Ben Affleck's
girlfriend in Armageddon (1998). The following year, she
returned to the art house circuit with Robert Altman's
Cookie's Fortune.
The film was widely praised, as was its ensemble cast,
which included Tyler, Glenn Close, Julianne Moore,
Charles S. Dutton, Chris O'Donnell, and Ned Beatty.
The same year, Tyler lent her talents to the 18th
century road movie genre, starring opposite Robert
Carlyle and Jonny Lee Miller in Plunkett and Macleane.
She also had a leading role as the object of Ralph
Fiennes' jaded affections in Martha Fiennes' Onegin,
which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival.
After taking the role of an irresistibly destructive
seductress in the 2001 comedy One Night at McCool's,
Tyler took another trip back in time, this time putting
her pixyish beauty to ideal use as Arwen, an elf faced
with the daunting dilemma of choosing between love and
immortality in director Peter Jackson's grandiose,
three-film adaptation of J.R.R. Tolken's Lord of the
Rings.
Tyler was chosen by People magazine as one of the 50
Most Beautiful People in the World in 1997. She was also
voted the 6th Sexiest Female Movie Star in the
Australian Empire Magazine in September 2002, and #2 in
TheAge.com's Top 100: Natural Beauties of all time in
2004.
Private life: On March 25, 2003, she married
British musician Royston Langdon of the band Spacehog.
On December 14, 2004, she gave birth to a son, Milo
William Langdon, in a New York hospital. Tyler's
ancestry is a combination of Italian, German, Russian
and Cherokee Indian on her father's side. She dated
actor Joaquin Phoenix from 1995 to November 1998. The
couple met on the set of Inventing the Abbotts.
