Her… Read Full Bio ↴LIV was born on July 1st, 1977 in New York in the name Liv Rundgren.
Her mom Bebe Buell, and her mom's life-partner Todd Rundgren, raised her as parents.
Liv thought her dad was Todd Rundgren.
Shortly after Liv's birth, her mom broke up with Todd and moved up with Liv to Portland, Maine.
In her childhood, Liv was living discursively with her mom, her aunt Annie at Maine, and her grandmother Dorothea Johnson at Virginia. Already as a little girl, she loved to perform - dress up in her mothers cloths and make up and put on a show in front of her mother's friends. Liv insists that she was a normal kid, just incredibly tall compared to her class-mates and chubby ...
Liv found out that her real father is Steven Tyler at the age of 9. it was at an Aerosmith concert.
Liv began to suspect earlier: "I didn't know what it was, but I started to see him more, and it would mean so much to me that I would write about it in my diary," she says. "I was very confused.", Aerosmith's concert put an end to the suspects.
Liv's half-sister Mia (the second daughter of Steven Tyler), whom Liv never saw before, was in that concert too.
When Liv saw that she looked remarkably like her, she had no doubt - Steven Tyler's daugher is her sister - which means that the man who's performing on stage is her father.
Later that evening, Liv's mom told her the truth: "I turned to my mom and said, 'He's my father, isn't he ?', and we went out under a tree and talked and cried for two hours."
At the age of 12 Liv changed her last name to Tyler.
Career
When Liv was 14 she moved back with her mom to NY.
A friend of the family, Paulina Porizkova - a famous model herself - convinced Liv to start modeling - and the rest is history ...
Instantly Liv's career as a model sky-rocketed, and Liv found herself on the cover of big Magazines like Seventeen, Interview and Mirabella.
iv's first major revelation to the world came in 1994, when she was 16, in Aerosmith's clip - Crazy.

The legendary director Bernardo Bertolucci chose Liv over hundreds of actresses. Liv got acclaims on her performance, and was the highlight of '96 Cannes film festival where giant photos of her peered placidly from billboards all over town.
This film established Liv as a Movie Star - performing opposite other stars like Tom Hanks [That Thing You Do! (1996)] and Bruce Willis [Armageddon (1998)] and working with best directors around.
Liv chooses her films carefully. She tends to avoid big movies and prefers the smaller, more quality ones.
Her movies include Inventing The Abbotts (1997), with her former boyfriend Joaquin Phoenix, Cookie's Fortune (1999) by Robert Altman, Plunkett & Macleane (1999) and Onegin (1999) with Ralph Fiennes.

Need You Tonight
Liv Tyler Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All you've got is this moment
21st century is yesterday
You can care all you want
Everybody does, yeah, that's okay
So slide over here
And give me a moment
Your moves are so raw
I've got to let you know
You're one of my kind
Ooh I need you tonight
'Cause I'm not sleeping
There's something about you, girl
That makes me sweat
How do you feel? (I'm lonely)
What do you think? (Can't think at all)
Whatcha gonna do? (Gonna live my life)
So slide over here
And give me a moment
Your moves are so raw

I've got to let you know
You're one of my kind
Oh I need you tonight

Liv Tyler's "Need You Tonight" is a slow, sultry love song that conveys desire and longing. The lyrics speak to the universal experience of needing someone, of feeling drawn to them in a visceral way. The opening line, "All you've got is this moment," encapsulates the ephemeral quality of human connection, suggesting that love must be seized when it presents itself. This is reinforced by the line "21st century is yesterday," which suggests that time is a fleeting concept that doesn't have a clear impact on the immediacy of desire.
Throughout the song, Liv Tyler's voice evokes a sense of vulnerability and yearning. Her repetition of "I've got to let you know" emphasizes the importance of communicating one's feelings to the object of desire, while the line "you're one of my kind" suggests that the person she is addressing is unique and irreplaceable. The chorus, with its repeated refrain of "I need you tonight," captures the urgency of physical desire and the overwhelming feeling of being unable to resist someone's pull.
The final verse, with its repetition of the lines "So slide over here/And give me a moment," suggests a willingness to take a chance on love and a desire to connect despite any emotional obstacles. The song is a plea for connection, a recognition of the power of love, and a declaration of irresistible attraction.
