Only her biological father is italaian that should be clarified. Her father growing up was Todd Rudgren who is not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.136.2.158 (talk) 19:13, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
i don't see how she falls into any of those categories, can anyone illuminate?Anatoly.bourov (talk) 20:12, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
The following passage is contradictory. It indicates that she lived with Rundgren from 1972 to 1979, but then later that she was not born until 1977. I don't have sufficient info/knowledge to correct this, but it's clearly incorrect.
From 1972 to 1979, Buell lived with rock musician Todd Rundgren. In 1976, Buell became pregnant from a brief relationship with Steven Tyler. She gave birth on July 1, 1977

==Chess player?== I have seen on Pinterest a pic of Liv Tyler playing chess - it seems to be a minor mixed chess tournament for amateur players. If Liv is really an amateur chess player, or if it was mostly an occasional photo, I dont know at this moment./StefanZ83.223.9.173 (talk) 10:21, 6 March 2018 (UTC)/StefanZ. Continuation. I saw again that photo in a youtubesequence, etc. Its not from an amateur tournament even if it looks so on the photo. She is having a friendly chat and analyse with the norwegian chess grandmaster Magnus Carlsen, a friend and collegue in business. In another place I saw Liv tells she does play some, she likes chess. But apparently not playing on any competitive level, sooner home chess. Still, may be worth mentioning./StefanZ83.223.9.173 (talk) 15:47, 7 March 2018 (UTC)/StefanZ
What does this mean? Please define and source this. Regards, CapnZapp (talk) 14:18, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
There's a discrepancy in the article concerning Tyler's age when she discovered Steven Tyler was her father. The article says "Tyler discovered her true parentage at age nine", with two references, one to a People bio timeline [1] and one to Hello Magazine profile [2]. The problem is that People states that she was introduced to Steven Tyler in 1986, but not as her father, and she didn't figure it out until 1988 when she saw her sister at a concert. Hello said she figured it out for herself at age 10. The next sentence says "She discovered that she was Steven Tyler's daughter after meeting him and noticing a resemblance she shared with his other daughter, Mia", with the People source (fine), and with a Daily Telegraph source saying "But when Liv was 11 years old, Steven Tyler appeared at a Todd Rundgren concert and ran into mother and daughter. Just from looking at him - at his face and his hands, the way he picked his cuticles - she figured out for herself who her father was." So the problem is, none of the sources say it was age 9, one gives a year but not the date to indicate her age, one says 10 and one says 11. I'm clearly not sure what it should read in the article here, but it does need to be determined, because the article isn't right based on the sources. I'm thinking perhaps it should just 1988?

Liv seems shockingly sane for someone with her background. Her mother is Bebe Buell, a '70s groupie who had a five-year relationship with [Todd] Rundgren before hooking up with [Steven] Tyler in 1977. Buell was a Ford model and a Playboy centerfold about whom another former boyfriend, Elvis Costello, wrote the song "Party Girl."
Buell did not want Liv to know that Tyler was her father because he had a druggie history. With Rundgren's compliance, they pretended that he was Liv's father. The hoax lasted until Liv was 10 and met Tyler at one of Rundgren's concerts. She realized because of the striking physical resemblance that he really was her father.
The similarity is Tyler's discovery at age 10 that the man she thought was her father - rocker Todd Rundgren - wasn't.
Buell and Rundgren had broken up before Liv was conceived but later reconciled, and Rundgren raised her as his own daughter. She met Steve Tyler at a rock concert and finally discovered just where she had gotten those large lips and chiseled cheeks.
This heading is very dubious. It is true that she had part in LOTR I--III, which were box-office successes; however, neither here nor later have I seen anything that justifies "worldwide recognition". I note that the part was not all too large, and that the article makes no particular claims about Tyler, herself, that would justify the heading.
I am also somewhat skeptical to the claims of "Critical success" in the previous heading, having always found her acting to be sub-average (too affected or too woody, lacking in depth, no charisma beyond her looks), but will take the references at face value. 188.100.205.226 (talk) 10:37, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Is there a real reference to Liv Tyler as a vegan? All I can find are interview in which she states to eat meat and fish. I think she used to be (when she dated Joaquin Phoenix), but that's over. I'd like to remove her from the "Vegan"- category. Objections? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.50.10.206 (talk) 18:07, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
If you are referring to refernce no. 78: her name doesn't even appear in that link. Searching the site, all I found was :"Famous people who have said they are vegetarian include:... Liv Tyler,.." That is not a source. Look at that: http://www.lovelylivtyler.com/articles/int197.php Quote: "For lunch I ate a lot of chicken and pasta." There are plenty of interviews with her, in which she states to loose weight by eating chicken and fish. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.50.9.79 (talk) 22:31, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
Please add her ancestry on father's side: Italian, German, Polish, Russian and English. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/megan-smolenyak-smolenyak/ive-got-a-crush-on-steven_b_797988.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.179.86.60 (talk) 11:16, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
She must be Jewish and not German. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.15.17.112 (talk) 18:29, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
There's a new images of Liv Tyler:
I think you could replace the picture in infobox with that picture. The old picture was shot in 2008 and this was took in 2012. --37.105.41.206 (talk) 14:26, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

For goodness's sake, can anyone find a _better_ picture? You know what I'm talking about.
Yes, she's attractive, but this is wikipedia, not reddit.com/r/gw. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.235.196.153 (talk) 18:54, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
Is this picture seriously still being used? Her nipples are poking out of her dress and it looks comical. Spitsonpuppies (talk) 05:17, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
In the Early life section, there is a discussion about Liv Tyler's relationship with her biological father, Steven Tyler. There are multiple instances where the sentence says things like "According to Tyler..." and "Tyler said..." and "... in which Tyler starred". Seriously? WHICH TYLER? It is very very ambiguous to refer to a person as "Tyler" in a discussion about two different people who share the same surname. 41.133.77.62 (talk) 16:24, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
I just don’t think that being a product spokesman counts as part of their personal life, so it had to be moved out of there. Also, converted a web citation from Twitter into tweet citation. Ya have the template, might as well use it--Fradio71 (talk) 10:08, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
Really? Does it matter she got the flu in 2021? Whoever added that needs to stop watching cnn, and google "FUD". Should we add, that she took a dump yesterday also? SMH 67.163.67.112 (talk) 05:13, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
