Liv Tyler’s Ethereal Appeal
Jul 21st, 2009
Since she first appeared on the scene in 1994 and garnered attention in 1996, presented as a fragile, lovely rosebud whose petals were still tender and dew-kissed, Liv Tyler has maintained a presence that belies her origins as well as her career in the interim.
It’s not too much of a surprise when a new teenager appears on the scene, full of promise and hope of big cinematic things to come. It’s a bit more of a shock when she grows up, survives a harsh spotlight, makes her way past failed projects, and maintains the patina she first appeared with. These days, Liv’s a 32-year-old mom who refuses to play the Hollywood game and makes her own way. Something we couldn’t recognize at the time of overt fawning and preciousness in 1996 – she truly did live up to the hype.
