Liv was born on July 1, 1977, in Portland, Maine. She is the daughter of Steven Tyler,
the famous front man of the band Aerosmith. Liv's half sister, Mia Tyler, is a fashion
model for Lane Bryant. Liv 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 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 has a unique natural sultry sophistication about her. Liv'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 began decorating
such fashion magazines as Seventeen and Mirabella.
While shooting a commercial on location in the stifling Amazon the following year,
Liv decided she wanted to pursue acting. Ironically, a cinema agent read about the intriguing
Liv in an article by The New York Times concerning children of the rich and famous, and
officially "discovered" her. Liv's first feature role was as the older sister of an autistic
boy in the Bruce Beresford straight-to-video drama "Silent Fall". Liv 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 was chosen by People magazine as
one of the 50 Most Beautiful People in the World. With this extravagant exposure, Liv
became an instant sex symbol video vixen.
Liv'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 then entered the big budget arena in 1998, co-starring with Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck
in Disney's "Armageddon".
