Fifteen birds on five fir trees, Their feathers were fanned in a fiery breeze, But, funny little birds, they had no wings! O what shall we do with the funny little things?

Character Bio:
| Lady Arwen is of the race of elves. She is the
daughter of King Elrond the Lord of Rivendell. As an elf she is immortal,
destined to eventually pass on with the rest of her kind to The Undying
Lands. At the age of 3000 she meets and immediately falls in love
with Aragorn. A human who her father has raised from childhood. Elrond
objects to their marriage since it would mean Arwen would have to
surrender her immortality and eventually die as a human. Upon discovering
his true origin as heir to the throne of Gondor, Argaorn knows that
only by reclaiming his father's throne can he gain the acceptance
of King Elrond and convince Arwen to make the terrible sacrifice of
her immortality for love. When the journey to destroy the 'ring' begins,
Arewn gives Aragorn (a member of the Fellowship) the magical Elven
jewel the 'everstar' symbolically giving him her love and her life,
which the jewel represents in Elven culture. It is only the love of
Arwen that keeps Aragon going through the long struggle to destroy
the 'One Ring'.... |
Actor Bio:
| The Daughter of Steven
Tyler(Aerosmith) and Bebe Buell(Former Playboy Centerfold), Liv Tyler
was born on July 1st, 1977, in Portland, Maine. At 14 she and her
mother left Portland, Maine for New York, where she got her start
as a model for about a year and then decided to pursue acting. Liv
Tyler made an auspicious film debut with the leading role in Silent
Fall, directed by Bruce Beresford. After another lead in Empire Records,
Tyler portrayed a waitress in a local diner in Heavy, a favorite at
the 1995 Sundance Film Festival. Tyler went on to shine in Bernardo
Bertolucci’s Stealing Beauty, Inventing The Abbotts, Armageddon
and Robert Altman’s Cookie’s Fortune. She recently reunited
with Altman to star in the critically acclaimed Dr. T and the Women
with Richard Gere. Tyler’s other recent work includes Onegin
co-starring Ralph Fiennes, Plunkett & Macleane and One Night at
McCool’s opposite Matt Dillon. |
Actor Commentary:
| "Elves were the
first creatures placed in Middle-earth, so they are very powerful
and knowledgeable. They're also immortal. Arwen has been living for
3,000 years, an incredible amount of time. When we meet her, she's
in love with Aragorn, who is a human. And she gives it up to be with
him. That's something I really responded to, that idea. It's something
our society lacks today." |
