It is fitting that the role of Arwen should go to an actress now ranked amongst the leading beauties of contemporary cinema. Making her debut in Bruce Beresford's Silent Fall, Liv Tyler played leading roles in films such as Empire Records and Heavy, before receiving critical attention, in 1996, for her performance in Stealin Beauty from the Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci, a film that had cinema commentators compare her with the young Elizabeth Taylor to the extent of briefly renaming her 'Liv Taylor'.
After a successful appearance in Tom Hank's directorial debut That Thing You Do!, Tyler co-starred with Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck in Armageddon, a film that won her roles in Robet Altman's Cookie's Fortune, in the romance-romp Plunkett & Macleane and opposite Ralph Fienes in the film of Alexander Pushkin's Onegin. She recently appeared in One Night at McCool's opposite Matt Dillon and was reunited with Robert Altman when she starred in the critically acclaimed Dr. T and the Women with Richard Gere.
Quote on Aragorn and Arwens relationship- "She has to be patient and supportive and let him go off and do the things that he has to do. But she is impatient, too. When you're in love, you want to spend all your time with that person, and she finds it difficult that they can't be together."
