Liv Tyler
Liv Tyler is one of the most photogenic young women of the moment. She falls in love with her with her look and her work is always believable. And though she is best known for being the half-elf Arwen, she has shown her versatility in varied registers.
Born July 1, 1977, New Yorker Liv Rundgren grew up thinking she was the daughter of musician Todd Rundgren and model Bebe Buell. But she had been a ‘groupie’ of the very famous musical group Aerosmith, and she had become pregnant by Steven Tyler , the leader and vocalist. At the age of 9 she found out that this was her real father.
At 17, Steven Tyler gave her her big break, hiring her along with Alicia Silverstone to star in the video clip for his song “Crazy”, where they were two teenagers who left school to go on a crazy spree to places like a stripper club. .
He made his film debut with a supporting role in the thriller A Silent Witness . Her work on her father’s video impressed none other than the Italian filmmaker Bernardo Bertolucci , who hired her as the lead in Stolen Beauty , a drama with high doses of eroticism where she was an American who spent the summer in Tuscany, looking for her dad. The tape completely consecrated the actress.
She was subsequently hired by Tom Hanks for his directorial debut, The Wonders , where she was the girlfriend of one of the lead band members. She was followed by outstanding roles in Armageddon , Onegin or Divine but Dangerous , and the prestigious Robert Altman signed her for Dr. T and the women and Cookie’s Fortune .
For the general public, Liv Tyler will always be Arwen, the peredhil, or half-elf in love with a mortal, the courageous Aragorn, in The Lord of the Rings trilogy . Apart from the fact that she seemed born for the role, the director Peter Jackson managed thanks to her to play a curious game of balance, since Liv Tyler gave the film a greater female presence, when in the original work the male role is almost absolute. This move was key when it came to making such an ambitious production profitable. But at the same time, Jackson remained faithful to Tolkien, as the Arwen sequences were taken almost entirely from the Appendices of the work.
Unfortunately, Liv Tyler is a bit in the doldrums after the end of the New Zealander’s trilogy. She was the girl the title alludes to in Kevin Smith ‘s A Jersey Girl , which didn’t have much reach, and one of the leads in the well-rounded but little-recognized Somewhere in Memory . She was also the girlfriend of the protagonist, Edward Norton , in The Incredible Hulk , which did not get the expected response, and Diane Keaton ‘s daughter-in-law in the failed His Mother . She excelled in the field of terror in The Strangers , where she was a young woman harassed along with her boyfriend by three masked haunters.
