The 1988 Aerosmith Show That Exposed Steven Tyler's 11-Year Secret

In August 1988, an 11-year-old girl named Liv Rundgren stood backstage at an Aerosmith concert and noticed another girl who looked exactly like her. That resemblance exposed a secret Bebe Buell had kept for over a decade: Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, not Todd Rundgren, was Liv's biological father. This documentary traces the full, verified story — from Buell's 1976 relationship with Tyler during his most turbulent "Toxic Twins" years, to the paternity secret kept to protect Liv from his addiction, to the fateful Guns N' Roses-opened show where she met her half-sister Mia Tyler for the first time, to the 1991 legal name change that made the truth public. Real dates, real family history, real consequences for everyone involved — Steven Tyler, Bebe Buell, Todd Rundgren, Cyrinda Foxe, and the two sisters whose lives intersected because of Aerosmith. Part of the Aerosmith Archive series of documented, source-checked stories about the band's members and history. #aerosmith #steventyler #livtyler
