Liv Tyler was born on July 1st, 1977 in New York. She is a model turned actress known for her roles in several blockbuster hits including the Lord of the Rings trilogy and for being the product of the type of Rock Star Drama for which VHIs series Behind the Music exists. Livs mother, Bebe Buell, is the Rock Star Groupie par excellence, so much so that the character Penny Lane in Cameron Crowes Almost Famous is reputed to be based on her and one other woman. So when Liv was born she was given the name Liv Rundgren, under what would become Livs and most peoples assumption that rocker Todd Rundgren was her father. Years later, mother Buell would admit that Liv actually had in her words: two rock star daddies. The one who raised her and her actual father, Steven Tyler from Aerosmith. Livs unique background helped her gain press attention but her talent plus porcelain skin, tall, thin frame, ice blue eyes and Melanie Griffith-Marilyn Monroe style whispering voice have all helped her gain roles on her own merits. She shot to international notice as Ben Aflecs love interest in Armageddon, for which father Steven performed the Oscar nominated I Dont want to Miss a Thing with Aerosmith. Livs now a part of film history as the beautiful elf Arwen in Lord of the Rings.
