She is the daughter of Steven Tyler of the band Aerosmith,
Liv Tyler didn't meet her father until 1988, her mother is
Bebe Buell, former model and Playboy Playmate of the Month.
Liv Tyler's mother named her after Liv Ullmann because she
was on the cover of TV Guide the week Liv was born, her name
Liv means 'life' in Norwegian, Swedish and Danish. Growing
up, Liv thought 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.
