Daughter of 'Steven Tyler (I)' of the band Aerosmith and 'Bebe Buell' , former model
(and Playboy Playmate of the Month) and stalwart of the backstage rock
scene of the 1970s, Liv grew up thinking that rock star 'Todd Rundgren' was her
father. But as she was growing up Tyler began dropping by to visit, and
Liv noticed that his daughter Mia looked enough like her to be her
twin. She confronted her mother, and was told the truth; by the time
she was 12 she had taken her father's name. At 14 she and her mother
left Portland, Maine for New York, where she got her start as a model.
A year was enough of the modeling grind, and she decided to become an
actress. She was offered the part of Callie in Heavy (1995) after a single
reading, and only three weeks later was cast in Silent Fall (1994) - 'James Mangold' ,
director of Heavy (1995) , decided to delay shooting until Liv was available.
With seven films in the 1993-96 period her career took off.

Quotes:
* "I have these slumber parties with my father and when we can't sleep we

* "I have these slumber parties with my father and when we can't sleep we
stay up all night trading beauty tips. He knows all about the good
creams and masks."
* {About her favorite smell] "Those smells that remind me of home. I can
smell my dad ['Steven Tyler (I)' ] from a mile away. I can smell it whenever he's
worn my clothes. He has this ambery smell that just melts into him."
* [on playing Arwen in "Lord of the Rings":] "It wasn't until I came back
home after such a long time away that I realized how much hype there
was about this. I get to play someone 3,000 years old. I'm 23, so
that's quite an acting challenge."
* "I've been told that if I'd lose weight I'd have more work, but I
refuse to submit myself to those standards. To the rest of the world,
I'm slim, and I like the way I am."
* When I did Stealing Beauty (1996) , I was just a kid. I'd done a couple of movies, but
I'd never been to an acting class in my life. But what I took away from
it more than anything was the sense that, even though I was the central
character, it was my job to get completely lost in the film. I had a
real awareness of 'Bernardo Bertolucci' as a filmmaker, not just a director, painting
a canvas in which I was just one element.
* Subtlety is my favourite thing in cinema. It lets you dream. When
everything is on the nail and on show, it leaves no questions in your
mind. I find that so boring.
* Clothes have become too important and films are saturated with fashion.
So you find yourself wearing designer clothes that aren't relevant to
your character. I'm always so intrigued by 'Christopher Guest (I)' and his movies, like
Best in Show (2000) and Mighty Wind, A (2003) . He hires the actors and they all come up with the
story and the concept, improvise. And they are all responsible for
their own hair and make-up. They buy their own clothes, are in control
of creating their characters. I would love to do that.
* "Life excites me. I'm not talking about appearing in movies or doing
interviews, but just little, normal, everyday things. Getting out of
bed. Getting dressed. Making food. I find it all exciting, you know?"
* "I don't live a very posh life. There are no drivers waiting or people
doing everything for me. I pretty much live like a normal person. . . .
It's not good to have a life without responsibilities, you know?."
* "It's cool to be compared to her ['Elizabeth Taylor (I)' ], but honestly who gives a
damn?".
* "There were times when I would get mad at him ('Viggo Mortensen' ) because he
would push me harder. There was a weekend when I got really sick and
had a horrible flu, and that was my one and only day to sleep and
recover and not work. We were supposed to go horseback riding together
and I cancelled it because I wasn't feeling well, and Viggo gave me a
really hard time about it. So I went, and it was one of the greatest
days of my life. It was actually the one time, while I was riding, that
I really broke through to the other side with the canter and becoming
more comfortable on the horse. I had a beautiful day and am incredibly
grateful to Viggo for pushing me further. He taught me so much about
that, about really being willing to submit and submerge yourself into
making the film and the character work."
* "My mom was so amazing. She was a singer and she'd been a model so she
had all these beautiful clothes and makeup, and in the bathroom all her
jewelry was pinned to the wall...it was more than a little girl could
ever dream of! When she went out, she would always say, "Don't get into
my stuff!" and the first thing I would do was go mad dressing up."
