Who is Liv Tyler?
Liv Tyler is an American television and movie actress who has also served as a United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) Goodwill Ambassador. Although her career consists mostly of feature films, she made the crossover into television as part of the regular cast for the HBO series The Leftovers.
Liv Tyler was originally named Liv Rundgren and was told that she was the daughter of rock musician Todd Rundgren. When she was about nine years old, she learned that she was actually the daughter of rock musician Steven Tyler of the rock band Aerosmith.
