Liv Tyler wallpapers & Biography
Liv Tyler born July 1, 1977 is an American actress and former model. She is best known for her roles as Grace Stamper in Armageddon and Arwen in The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy. She is the daughter of Aerosmith vocalist Steven Tyler.
Tyler was born Liv Rundgren at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan, New York City, New York. She is the first daughter of Bebe Buell, a model, singer, and Miss November 1974 Playboy Playmate of the Month, and Steven Tyler, the lead singer of Aerosmith. Her maternal grandmother, Dorothea Johnson, founded the Protocol School of Washington. Her mother named her after Norwegian actress Liv Ullmann. At birth, Bebe Buell claimed that rock star Todd Rundgren was Tyler's biological father. Tyler spent most of her childhood with this understanding, learning of her true parentage only at the age of nine, after meeting Steven Tyler at one of Rundgren's concerts in Boston. The truth about Tyler's paternity did not become public until 1991, when she changed her name from Rundgren to Tyler, but kept the old name as a middle name. The reason for Buell's decision was that Steven Tyler was heavily addicted to drugs at the time. Since learning the truth about his paternity, Liv and Steven Tyler have formed a close relationship. They even intertwined their careers when Liv performed in Aerosmith's video "Crazy" and when Aerosmith wrote and sang several songs in Liv's film Armageddon.
Tyler attended Virginia's Congressional School, Breakwater Elementary, and Wainfleet School (in Portland, Maine) before returning to New York City with her mother at the age of twelve. She went on to NYC's York Prep for junior high and high school, from which she graduated in 1995. A month later Tyler moved to Italy to star in Stealing Beauty.
