:: TIMELINE

 

I'm going to teach you some history, don't click away now!
Wait first, you'll probably like this!

We're going back to 1994. Liv is starting her career, along with future star Alicia Silverstone, in Aerosmith's "Crazy" video in 1994 that really put her on the map. That same year, Tyler made a strong feature debut in the unsettling role of a teenager who kills her sexually abusive father and complicit mother when she discovers him molesting her brother and then comes on to her therapist (Richard Dreyfuss) in Bruce Beresford's flawed thriller "Silent Fall". Liv is already developing her own style, but she's not yet very serious.

 

In 1995 she colored her hair red, she's still tries things out with her hair, make-up and cloth. She followed with roles as the object of an overweight pizza chef's (Pruitt Taylor Vince) crush in James Mangold's "Heavy" and as a twentysomething slacker who was not as perfect as she seemed in Allan Moyle's disappointing "Empire Records".

 

 

In 1996 Liv is starting to get more and more famous and starts to get her own image, on that she will take with her for several years. Bernardo Bertolucci had searched high and low for a girl who could star in his "Stealing Beauty", someone who could embody innocence and lust, wisdom and youth, a virgin filled with desire. He had almost given up hope of finding the right actress when he met Tyler. "I felt immediately," he told US (June 1996), "that I'd found a kind of miracle." Paralleling her own mixed-up parentage, the film cast her as a young American girl who arrives in Italy knowing one father and leaves knowing another. At the erotic center of Bertolucci's meditation on the various forms of love, Tyler deftly captured the passage from childhood to adulthood, and Jeremy Irons was touching as the dying author renewed by his contact with her. Equally smitten was the director himself who indulged in one lingering close-up after another, allowing her to bask alone onscreen for much of her star-making turn. Woody Allen also cast her but later cut her cameo in the musical "Everyone Says I Love You", and she appeared in Tom Hanks' directorial debut, "That Thing You Do!", as the girlfriend of the lead singer of a 60s rock band.

In 1997 Liv is still having the same look she had in 1996. She gets involved in Pat O'Connor's rather anemic "Inventing the Abbotts". She also stars in U-Turn who was never ment to be a high-rated movie, it got no attention.

 

 

In 1998 Liv wowed the crowd with her long hair cut short and a beautiful, brown and decorative night gown at the Cape Canaveral premiere of "Armageddon", proving to the general audience she isn't afraid to experiment. In 1999 Liv turned chic and sweet in her purple, hip dress, glowy skin and hair pulled back at the NYC premiere of "Besieged", but in 2000 and 2001 her style took a u-turn taking Liv and her outfits into a new, more rock-influenced era.
 

 

In 1999 she joined an all-star cast that included Patricia Neal, Glenn Close, Julianne Moore and Charles S Dutton for Robert Altman's leisurely Southern Gothic comedy "Cookie's Fortune", winning raves for her rough-and-tumble, catfish-cleaning, box-toting "worthless tramp" of a daughter. She also graced the casts of Jake Scott's "Plunkett & Macleane" and Martha Fiennes' "Onegin", acquitting herself particularly well in the latter as Pushkin's Tatyana. Initially spurned by Onegin (Ralph Fiennes), she later gives him his own medicine in this classic tale of amorous mistiming.

 

In 2000, Liv takes a step back, she only stars in the movie "Dr T and The Women". She's taking it slow. She is working on her relation with formal husband Royston Langdon. She reteamed with Altman and "Cookie's Fortune" screenwriter Anne Rapp as one of the many women of "Dr T and the Women", starring Richard Gere as the titular gynecologist, surrounded by the likes of Helen Hunt, Laura Dern, Farrah Fawcett and Shelley Long, among others.

 

In 2001 Liv was the love object of three men (Matt Dillon, John Goodman and Paul Reiser) who all tell their tale of woe sitting around the bar in Harald Zwart's "One Night at McCool's", produced by Michael Douglas who also acted in the film.

 

 

In 2002 she stared (also in 2001) in Peter Jackson's three-part adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, an ambitious undertaking employing 20,000 extras and 1200 state-of-the-art computer-generated effects. Slated for successive Christmas releases in 2001, 2002 and 2003, the three movies filmed at one time represented a considerable jump in scale for Tyler from her biggest picture, "Armageddon". Liv takes a more elegant and feminine approach to her style at the NYC premiere of "Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers", where Liv's silky, patterned gown stole the attention of the crowd.

 

During 2003 Liv is getting more and more famine. She appears in the most beautifull cloths at the premieres of "The Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King"


 

 

2004. After the "Rings" films, Tyler was again cast opposite Affleck in writer-director Kevin Smith's middling romantic comedy "Jersey Girl", playing Maya, the woman who re-opens a widowed father's heart to love. Tyler received good notices for her performance. Liv turns back to her chic style adding a hint of hip and creativity to it and letting her hair lie elegantly on her shoulders.



 

And in 2005 Liv shows the world you can be elegant even when pregnant when she shows up on a lot events with a big belly.
