Liv Tyler, daughter of rock star legend Steven Tyler, is an American film actress most known for playing the role of Arwen Undomiel in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy.

When Liv was 14 years old, she and her mother moved to New York, where she appeared in magazines such as Seventeen, YM, and Mirabella. After a brief modeling stint, Liv began taking roles in films in the mid-'90s. But it was only in 1996 when she landed her first significant lead role in Bernardo Bertolucci's Stealing Beauty. In 1998, Liv played Grace Stamper, Bruce Willis' daughter in the summer blockbuster hit Armageddon.

From 2001-2003, Tyler dedicated her time and effort into the award-winning film adaptation of the J.R.R. Tolkien trilogy.

After a brief break from acting, Liv returned in the Adam Sandler movie Reign Over Me in 2007 before playing the role of Betty Ross opposite Edward Norton in the 2008 summer hit Incredible Hulk.

    She is a great actress, I have seen her in movies like Armageddon and Lord of the Rings, and she knows how to act. She is almost perfect at her roles, she really makes you believe that the character she is doing is real and that is something difficult to accomplish. I like her style very, very much. So I think that she is a great actress.

    Liv Tyler is really a talented actress, who made it in Hollywood by being the daughter of a famous rock star. In every role she really makes you believe that she actually is the character she's portraying. This sense of realism is what makes her really stand out above the masses of the rest of actresses today. My favorite movie of her's is "Armageddon."
