Liv Tyler

Does the DL love her or hate her? I've always found her exquisitely beautiful, and she gets cred in my book for her turn in "Stealing Beauty." She was also in the phenomenal, under-appreciated drama "Heavy" in her early career with Debbie Harry and Shelley Winters. I do think she is hit-or-miss as an actress and has turned in some weaker performances, but, when cast right, I find her extremely watchable. She comes across as having an "old soul" sensibility in real life based on interviews I've seen.

More recently, I thought she was impressive on "The Leftovers," but it seems she's been living a quiet life in London as of late and has not acted much lately. I know she's done a British period series called "Harlots" (I believe it's on Hulu or one of those streaming services) which I've yet to see. Is it any good?

She is beautiful--even prettier than her mother. I know she apparently had a DNA test done proving that Steven was her father, but I've always thought she also resembled Todd Rundgren, who acted the role of her father in her early life. They have similar bone structures--both long faces and prominent foreheads. Steven does too, though, and when you look at young photos of him, the resemblance is definitely there, so it's a moot point.

I also think she resembles Todd, even more so the older she gets, and do wonder if a DNA test was ever done. They weren't as readily available when Steven was revealed as her father. She's gorgeous, but in my opinion not a beautiful as her mother was when young. I enjoy her performances and think she gave her best in The Leftovers.

Here's Todd and Bebe Buell, with an infant Liv. I've always wondered why/how she came to realize/know Steven was her biological father. We know that Bebe was with Todd when Liv was born, and his surname was on her birth certificate, so the assumption was that he was the father. Obviously Bebe was getting around during this time and at some point was fucking Steven, but who really knows? It's an odd one because I can see likenesses in Todd and Steven when I look at pictures of her--but my instincts have always pointed to Todd being her bio dad.

Liv and Steven. Of course he's her father. Her mother always knew that he was, but she tried to hide it for some years. She said it was because of Tyler's drug addiction back then, but really she just fucked a lot of famous musicians and didn't want Rundgren to know. Bebe rejects being called a groupie. She was more like a whore.

Poor Liv was born brain damaged, but she and her father are famously close.

Confused about R17's assumption--sure, she has professional shots of herself on her Instagram, but they're interspersed with pictures of other things (pets, children, scenery, etc.) that she appears to take herself. Not much different from most celebrities' social media/Instagram presences--hers less ridiculous than most, if anything. She does seems a bit guarded about her personal life, which I sort of appreciate. She doesn't give many interviews and appears to live a relatively quiet life outside her acting jobs.

[quote]Before Buell became pregnant with Steven Tyler’s child, she was one of the most notorious groupies in the US. She got her start when Jimi Hendrix spotted her and a friend on the streets and catcalled at them out the car window, “Hey, girls, you wanna come with us to the show?” From there, she moved through Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Elvis Costello, and more. She was in an on-again, off-again relationship with Todd Rundgren when she got pregnant with Steven Tyler’s baby. For the first 11 years of her life, Liv Tyler even believed that Rundgren was her father—until she met Steven Tyler and realized how much they were alike. Buell didn’t tell her daughter who her real father was until Liv made her admit it. Liv resented her mother for it at first but says she’s forgiven her since. “She had two men who didn’t really want her,” Tyler said. “She did the best she could.”

Saw her at Morton Steak House in Philadelphia about fifteen years ago. She was with Michael Moore or Kevin Smith. I was having a birthday dinner with my friends and she was on the other side of the room. My buddy was a food server there and he said in spite of a couple of diva moments (a certain brand of bottled water wasn’t available, not enough bread), she was pleasantly funny and charming. She was on location for a movie but I cannot think of the name....

I've worked with professional actors and models all my life, and have had both jobs, myself. There are shots in STEALING BEAUTY (1996) where, even to my jaded eyes, I thought, "Okay, this is the most naturally beautiful girl I have ever seen."

It helps that she was just 18 ... and we all looked better at 18! But to me, in that movie her looks are just jaw dropping; better than Liz Taylor - - even better than the young Brooke Shields.

Simply heartbreakingly beautiful ... even if she's not much of a real actress.

Bebe Buell loves to come to message boards and yammer crazy stuff. She used to do it to an embarrassing degree in GroupieCentral.com back in the late 90’s. Bebe heard messages in songs and will say that the singers are trying to give her hints. She’s nuts.

R25 and it’s Cancer in the 12th house with Sun/Mercury just under the Ascendant, so she probably doesn’t even realise how she comes across as a person or an actress. It also accounts for the hyper-femininity people perceive, the ‘Madonna/whore’ aura someone else mentioned, her dreamy-eyed romantic-fantasy full-lipped look.

However don’t forget about her Capricorn moon in the 7th house squaring her Pluto. That’s going to give her emotional independence, guarded shrewdness and even coldness when warranted as well as a certain darkness in her soul. She isn’t all sweetness & light, that’s just the gimmick.

I used to live on the same block as Liv in the West Village. We would say hello to each other on the street after a while since it was clear we both lived there, but nothing more, and she was always very nice.

Then we ran into each other at a party and realized we had a mutual friend in common. After that we would stop and actually have a conversation on the street with each other.

While not intellectual, she’s also not dumb by any means and has a certain level of sophistication and knowledge about a fairly wide range of things simply as a result of the life she has led and everything she’s been exposed to such as working with Bertolucci, etc.

Anyway, she really is a lovely and very unpretentious person. I saw her interact with fans a few times as well and she was genuinely friendly with them, never made snarky comments after they left, etc.

Sadly, in "Gunpowder", she was starting to look like she'd spent too much time at the dermatologist. Her face was starting to develop that frozen, unnaturally smooth quality you get with too much botox and fillers.

I really hope she doesn't ruin her face trying to stay young, but what are the odds. She's already started, and her beloved father's had everything pulled so tight that the corners of his mouth are meeting his earlobes. Which would be a shame, because one of the things that made her beauty so extraordinary is that it seemed so natural. She always looked her best with pale skin and just a bit of lipstick, not even any obvious eye makeup.

I think she is beautiful in a non-conventional/not-perfect kind of way. She has beautiful colorings and strong yet delicate features but a very long face, especially in the lower part, with a very pointy and present chin. She looks weird with bangs, for example, because it draws attention to that part of her face, as seen below.

r82 RE: Brooke most beautiful?

Brooke had really determined jaws and brow ridges even as a teenager, and her uneven hairline made her looked masculine. Below is Brooke at 18. Already showing signs of being butch-looking.

"Why is Bebe a whore?"

She was a GROUPIE, you dumb twat. Groupies are unabashed whores. And boy, did she fuck some ugly rock stars. She was involved a long time with the plug ugly Todd Rundgren. Her great true love was supposedly the ugly little twerp Elvis Costello. She also had a well publicized affair with the rat faced Stiv Bators of the punk rock band The Dead Boys. Bators looked like walking syphilis. She was a cum bucket for rock stars.

Brooke Shield is massively more attractive than Liv Tyler, though Brooke decidedly looks like an old movie star named Tyrone Power. Tyrone Power fathered Brooke.

Completely agree R110.

And Brooke was pretty as a teenager, but I don't think she is at all attractive now. I have a friend whose daughter goes to school with her kids, and she looks like a mess there too.

She always sounds like she's recovering from a stroke. Cotton mouthed and slurred words. The child woman trope played well in her early days, now she just comes off as a dim frau. I remember her Vanity Fair interview where she had half read novels, strewn around so the writer could comment on her reading habits.

[quote]r123 1/2 a novel is more than Elizabeth Taylor ever read. Fun fact: Liz couldn't read or write!

Shelley Winters told how she was sitting around with Liz, writing a letter on the set of A PLACE IN THE SUN. She asked Liz the date, pointing out there was an issue of The Hollywood Reporter next to her.

Young Liz said, "Oh, that's no good. It's yesterday's issue!"

by Anonymousreply 125June 9, 2019 3:50 AM

Winters starts that part of her book by saying how envious she was of Taylor's movie studio childhood, taking classes alongside Lana Turner, Mickey Rooney, Malcolm McDowell, etc. in MGM's little red schoolhouse.

Then after recounting that story, she ends with, "Well, so much for MGM's little red schoolhouse!"

I think Taylor looked better in her 30s, after she'd had more life experience. Until then she was just a vapid, short little doll.

R124 "Thank you. I am aware of what Liz Taylor looks like. " Then how could you have said she had less character than Brooke? Taylor in her youth had a clear-cut screen image that personified the willful and sophisticated society girl, one with a shade of vampy charisma that made her irresistible to her beaus. Can we even describe what kind of character did Brooke personify in her youth? An innocent girl next door? Not really clean cut enough to be called that. A fiesty sex pot? She didn't really have the sting. No. Brooke was pretty but had a blurry screen personality. Taylor's screen personality was very vivid starting from her teens and on.

Richard Burton's Diaries says Taylor was capable of enjoying and discussing complicated literary novels.

Brooke Shields did not age well, as several posters upthread have stated. Liv Tyler, on the other hand, has managed to retain some semblance of her youthful beauty. She still looks lovely and cherubic into her 40s. Brooke's features were harsh and didn't look so great as she matured.

I'm surprised so many people find Liv's voice off-putting. I actually find her voice is beautiful and soothing; she should record audiobooks. It's certainly not as pronounced as Melanie Griffith's.

by Anonymousreply 138June 9, 2019 10:16 AM

R138, it works in certain situations, particularly in the Lord of the Rings movies.

But I find it disturbing that a grown woman will deliberately make her voice all high and breathy in normal situations, it's clearly fake and manipulative.

My brother's long-time gf is kind of a tomboy (like me) with a normal, non-squeaky voice (like me; I think I sound like a teenage boy, basically). But when she talks to my brother, she raises her voice up a few notes and makes it more soft and breathy. It's fucking annoying, tbh, and I can't believe he hasn't told her to cut it out >:(

She had an unusual beauty as a young woman, and had a sweet and placid screen presence that made her suitable for "girlfriend" roles. There's always work for a young woman who will stand there and look lovely, while the action hero goes out and does his action stuff!

But Jennifer Connelly always did it better, but she's 100x the actress Tyler ever was, and has a similar beauty.

Jennifer C might've been a better actress but even in her youth she was a man-jawed, harsh-featured frau in making. Liv with her striking features and snow white coloring was a far prettier teen.

[quote]r145 But Jennifer Connelly always did it better, but she's 100x the actress Tyler ever was

I basically agree - Liv Tyler was utterly beautiful, but not really an actress by nature. She's too lax. There's a famous performer in the 19th century who said (and I'm misquoting), "Every actress needs a bit of the gutter in her." Meaning, there has to be -- even if it's ever so subtle -- a delight in exhibitionism, in disrobing emotion. A pleasure in the give-and-take of being looked at, and simultaneously giving another person pleasure by allowing that.

Tyler is just too out of it to really play the game. Though she was extraordinary looking, there's very little excitement.

Liv seems sweet, although, speaking to R147's post, she does seem a bit "checked out" to me. I don't mean in a "she's stupid" way, but rather that she seems to be on another planet most of the time. She strikes me as the type who spends a lot of time daydreaming.
