There was a time when actress Liv Tyler seemed well on her way to becoming a household name.
Tyler still acts, of course, but over time, her big-name roles became fewer and farther between.
Tyler is someone who has never blindly worshipped at the altar of Hollywood.
After all, fame comes and goes, but family is forever.
And raising her family has often placed Tyler an ocean away from the glitz and glamor of Hollywood.
One of her first major projects was the 1995 film “Empire Records.”
Not long after that, she landed her first leading role in the 1996 release “Stealing Beauty.”
She then got top billing over future beau Joaquin Phoenix in 1997’s “Inventing the Abbotts.”
“I’m very proud to be part of this project.
It was the best film I’ve ever shot!”
It was shortly after that, however, that her on-screen career began to slow down somewhat.
I’ve been rebuilding and trying to be patient," she said (via theDaily Mail).
Tyler reevaluating her priorities and becoming more family-oriented would become a recurring theme in her story.
Tyler ended up moving to London after their daughter was born in 2016.
After leaving the United States, the actor seemed more or less done with Hollywood blockbusters.
Still, Tyler’s family life has remained her focus.
“I get the greatest pleasure out of that,” she toldThe Sunday Postin 2020.
Tyler and Gardner called it quits in 2021, though they maintain a co-parenting relationship.
Deadlinebroke the news of Tyler’s “9-1-1: Lone Star” departure in September 2020.
The Hollywood Reporterwas among the first to break the news of Tyler’s MCU comeback in March 2023.
In “The Incredible Hulk,” Edward Norton played Banner, while William Hurt played Thaddeus.
Fast-forward 17 years, and things look quite different.
It goes to show that actors come and go, but the world of Hollywood just keeps spinning.
