She is the only daughter of Bebe Buell, a model, singer, and former ''Playboy'' Playmate (Miss November 1974), and Steven Tyler, the lead singer of Aerosmith.〔 Her mother named her after Norwegian actress Liv Ullmann, after seeing Ullmann on the cover of the March 5, 1977 issue of ''TV Guide''.〔〔 She is of Italian, German, Polish, and English ancestry on her father's side and German ancestry on her mother's side.〔(Juice Magazine: "Bebe Buell – INTERVIEW BY STEVE OLSON" ) September 2009 | ''Are you an American? Yes. I am. I’m German American. Were you born in the states? Yes. My grandparents were German''〕 Tyler has three half-siblings: Mia Tyler (born 1978), Chelsea Anna Tallarico (born 1989), and Taj Monroe Tallarico (born 1992). Her maternal grandmother, Dorothea Johnson, founded the Protocol School of Washington. From 1972 to 1979, Liv’s mother Bebe Buell lived with rock musician Todd Rundgren. In 1976, Buell became unexpectedly pregnant from a brief relationship with Steven Tyler. On July 1, 1977, Buell gave birth, naming the daughter ''Liv Rundgren'' and claiming that Todd Rundgren was the biological father. Rundgren and Buell ended their romantic relationship but Rundgren put his heart and soul into the "white lie".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Liv Tyler Biography )〕 At age eight Liv met Steven Tyler and noticed a resemblance she shared with his other daughter, Mia.〔〔 When she asked her mother about the similarity, the secret was revealed.〔〔 The truth about Tyler's paternity did not become public until six years later in 1991, when she changed her name from Rundgren to Tyler,〔 but kept the former as a middle name. Buell's stated reason for the initial decision was that Steven was too heavily addicted to drugs at the time of her birth.〔 Since learning the truth about her paternity, Liv and Steven have developed a close relationship.〔 They also have worked together professionally, once when she appeared in Aerosmith's music video for "Crazy" in 1993, and again when Aerosmith performed many of the songs in the film ''Armageddon'' (1998) in which Tyler starred.〔 According to Tyler "... Todd () basically decided when I was born that I needed a father so he signed my birth certificate. He knew that there was a chance that I might not be his but ...." He paid to put her through private school, and she visited him several times a year. Tyler maintains a close relationship with Rundgren. "I’m so grateful to him, I have so much love for him. You know, when he holds me it feels like Daddy. And he’s very protective and strong."〔 Tyler attended the Congressional Schools of Virginia, Breakwater School, and Waynflete School in Portland, Maine, before returning to New York City with her mother at age 12.〔 She went to York Preparatory in New York City for junior high and high school after her mother researched the school to accommodate Tyler's ADHD. She graduated in 1995 and left to continue her acting career.〔〔 When asked about the way she spent her youth, Tyler said: "For me, I didn’t get much of a childhood in my teen years because I’ve been working since I was 14. But that also kept me out of trouble. When everybody was doing acid and partying like crazy, I was at work on a movie in Tuscany ... having my own fun, of course, but it was a different kind of thing. I have no regrets. I love the way my life has gone." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Liv Tyler」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
