| Biography 
Bebe Buell is a former model and Playboy Playmate who dated  several
  rock  stars  in  the  '70s.  She began modeling at the age of 17 and
  moved from her hometown of Virginia Beach,  Virginia,  to  New  York
  City.  Shortly  after  moving  to  New York, Bebe met rock star Todd
  Rundgren. At the time, she was living  in  a  women's  home  run  by
  nuns.  Bebe  and  Todd quickly began dating (Bebe says that she lost
  her virginity to Todd), they moved in together, and  they  ended  up
  living  together  for  six  years.  Although Bebe and Todd were in a
  steady relationship, they both dated other people  while  they  were
  living  together.  Bebe's  rock  star  lovers  during  the '70s have
  included Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones, Iggy Pop,  David  Bowie,
  Jimmy  Page  of  Led  Zeppelin,  and Steven Tyler of Aerosmith. When
  Bebe posed nude for Playboy in  1974,  she  was  one  of  the  first
  fashion  models to become a Playboy Playmate, but her nude layout in
  Playboy caused her to be fired  by  the  prestigious  Ford  modeling
  agency.  Bebe  continued  to  model  but  became better known in the
  entertainment industry as a popular girlfriend of many  rock  stars.
  When  Bebe's  daughter,  Liv,  was  born  in 1977, Todd Rundgren was
  named as the father. Todd and Bebe broke up around  this  time,  and
  Bebe  moved  on  to other rock stars such as Stiv Bators of the Dead
  Boys and Rod Stewart. In 1978, Bebe began a passionate but  volatile
  affair  with  Elvis  Costello,  who was married at the time. But the
  relationship ended within a year when Elvis decided to  go  back  to
  his  wife.  By the 1980s, Bebe was living in Maine and she attempted
  to become a rock star by fronting the  bands  the  B-Sides  and  the
  Gargoyles.  Although  the  bands  released  records, none were hits.
  When Liv was 11, she found out her father was really  Steven  Tyler,
  not  Todd Rundgren. Bebe has said in interviews that she didn't want
  to tell Liv who her real father was because of Steven's  heavy  drug
  addiction  at  the  time  and Bebe thought he would be an unsuitable
  father. Todd had known that he was not the biological father of  Liv
  but  he had kept the secret in order to give Liv some semblance of a
  stable home life. When the truth came out, it put a  strain  on  the
  relationship  between  Todd  and  Bebe. However, Liv and Steven were
  able to form a familial bond and they  are  reportedly  very  close.
  Liv  also  changed  her  name from Liv Rundgren to Liv Tyler. In the
  '90s, Bebe had moved back to New York,  became  Liv's  manager,  and
  helped  launch Liv's successful modeling and acting career. Although
  Bebe is no longer Liv's manager, she still remains  close  with  her
  daughter.  In  1992,  Bebe  married  for  the first time to musician
  Coyote Shivers, a much younger man. But the marriage ended in  1998,
  and  their divorce became final in 1999. Bebe, who is now engaged to
  musician Jim Wallerstein, splits her time between her homes  in  New
  York  and  Portland,  Maine. She performs occasionally in nightclubs
  as a solo act. Bebe's autobiography, "Rebel Heart: An American  Rock
  and Roll Journey," was published in 2001.
