Biography
L
Liv Tyler (born Liv Rundgren on July 1, 1977 in New York City, New York, USA) is an United States|American actress most famous for her role in the 1998 blockbuster movie Armageddon and the Lord of the Rings trilogy (2001-2003). Tyler is the daughter of Steven Tyler, the lead singer of Aerosmith, and Bebe Buell, a model. Having grown up with the understanding that rock star Todd Rundgren was her natural father, she only found out the truth about her parentage at age 11, after noticing that Steven Tyler's daughter Mia Tyler looked like her twin. She then changed her name from Liv Rundgren to Liv Tyler. Regarding her first name, she is named after actress Liv Ullmann. After starting a career as a model, she quickly changed into acting. Having been 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 blockbuster appearance in Armageddon 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 Eugene Onegin by Alexander Pushkin), where she convincingly portrayed the character of Tatyana Larina, and two movies directed by Robert Altman: Cookies Fortune and Dr. T & the Women. On March 25, 2003, she married 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. == Filmography == *August Rush (2006) (currently in pre-production) *Lonesome Jim (2005 movie)|Lonesome Jim (2005) as Anika *Jersey Girl (2004 movie)|Jersey Girl (2004) as Maya *The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (film)|The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) as Arwen|Arwen Undómiel *The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (film)|The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) as Arwen Undómiel *The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (film)|The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) as Arwen Undómiel *One Night at McCool's (2001) as Jewel *Dr. T & the Women (2000) as Marilyn *Onegin (1999) as Tatyana Larina *Cookie's Fortune (1999) as Emma Duvall *Plunkett & Macleane (1999) as Lady Rebecca Gibson *Armageddon (movie)|Armageddon (1998) as Grace Stamper *U Turn (1997) as Girl in Bus Station *Inventing the Abbotts (1997) as Pamela Abbott *That Thing You Do!
