         Ang Hollywood actress at model na si Liv Tyler ay kilalang anak ng lead singer ng Aerosmith at American Idol host na si Steven Tyler sa model, singer at dating Playboy Playmate (Miss November 1974) na si Bebe Buell. Subalit alam niyo bang sa simula ay inilihim ito ng kaniyang ina? Nang ipanganak si Liv Tyler noong July 1, 1977, sinabi ng kaniyang ina na ang rock star na si Todd Rundgren ang ama ng bata. Kaya Liv Rundgren ang nakatalang pangalan sa birth certificate niya. Ito ay ginawa umano ni Buell upang ilayo si Liv sa tunay niyang ama na noo’y isang talamak na drug addict. Subalit noong walong taong gulang si Liv, napansin ni Steven Tyler ang malapit na pagkakahawig ng mukha ng bata sa kaniyang anak sa modelong si Cyrinda Foxe na si Mia. Nabunyag na si Steven Tyler ang ama ni Liv noong 1991 nang hilingin niyang palitan ang kaniyang apelyido.

          Kilala si Liv Tyler sa pagganap bilang Lucy Harmon, isang inosenteng teenager na nagtungo sa Italy na desididong mapigtal na ang kaniyang pagkabirhen (sa pelikulang Stealing Beauty, 1996); bilang ang elf maiden na si Arwen Undomiel (Lord of the Rings trilogy, 2001-2003); at bilang Dr. Betty Ross, ang babaeng iniibig ni Bruce Banner a.k.a. The Incredible Hulk (2008).

          Sa pelikulang Armageddon (1998) kung saan gumanap siya bilang anak ni Bruce Willis at kasintahan ni Ben Affleck, ang Aerosmith ang umawit ng mga kanta sa nasabing pelikula, kabilang ang “I Don't Want to Miss a Thing” at “What Kind of Love Are You On.”
