One of the most attractive women of the seventies of the twentieth century is called Bibi Buell. This is a woman with a difficult fate, who dreamed of her personal happiness. She was one of the active representatives of American hippies, and later Bibi traveled with rock stars. She is often treated ambiguously: some envy this chic woman, while others condemn her and call her a capable fan. Let's talk about this amazing woman.
Modeling career
Bibi Buell was born in Portsmouth. This city is located in
Virginia. In childhood, she was most attracted to music, perhaps this explains why she communicated with musicians most of her life. At 10 years old, she was invited to the choir, the leaders of the team noted that the girl had an incredibly clean and high voice.
At 17, she graduated from high school. At that time, Buell Bibi did not know what she wanted to do in life. She would be glad to associate her fate with music, but without support and financial assistance, this would be impossible. It was at that moment that Eileen Ford, who worked as an agent for finding fashion models, noticed her.
In 1974, Bibi began acting for Playboy. She quickly made a career until the "Girl of the Month". Her photo was placed on the November U-turn. After that, she began to wear the title of "Miss November." Because of this, she had to break off relations with modeling agency Eileen Ford. Then at Buell Bibi modeling career began to decline. She actively plunged into social life. Later, she again signed a contract with a major agency from Washington, due to which her photos graced the covers of Vogue (Italian, French, British) and Cosmopolitan. At the same time, she worked in collaboration with a British agency.
Rock party
In the mid-seventies, Bibi Buell could be seen at events where hippies gathered. Subsequently, many modern rock stars emerged from this subculture. In secular circles, she was affectionately called a Star Friend. She talked with Jack Nicholson,
Andy Warhol, Mick Jagger,
Iggy Pop, Rod Stewart and David Bowie. She accompanied many of them on tour, met with others only at parties. One of the most important men of her life was musician Todd Randgren. They had an
open relationship, they can be called primarily friends, not lovers.
Todd was not opposed to filming Playboy; he calmly endured all of Buell Bibi’s novels. Her biography is replete with the names of a variety of famous men, most often they were rock musicians. It was because of this that she was called the rock muse of the seventies. It was she who inspired many performers to create lyrical love songs.
Steve Tyler
The biggest love Buell Bibi became the frontman of the band Aerosmith - Steve Tyler. She attended his performances and met with him during the numerous parties of that time. Then he took illegal drugs, alcohol and smoked a lot. This did not repel the girl until the moment she became pregnant. Rock muse Bibi Buell decided to leave the child. She was not afraid that this would turn many fans away from her. The only thing that upset Bibi was Steve's lifestyle. They could not have created a full-fledged family, so she returned to Todd, who accepted not only her, but also the child. Love with Stephen grew into a friendship. More than once they tried to create strong families, but the attempts ended in failure.
Daughter
Bibi's daughter named Liv. At birth, she was given the surname Randgren, which Todd wore. In childhood, Liv did not know the name of her father. Bibi and Todd carefully concealed the name of the biological parent from her. Later, the couple finally broke up, but Todd continued to protect the secret of the birth of the named daughter. He raised her as a native.
At nine, Liv found out who her real father was. This happened when she met Steve's second daughter, they were incredibly similar. At age 12, Liv took the name of her biological father - Tyler. She made friends with him, and forgave her parents for cheating. Many claim that Bibi still leads the daughter.
Bohemian life
The birth of a daughter did not change the lifestyle of Bibi too much. She still attended all kinds of parties and threw her clothes around the apartment. The only thing that has changed is the purpose of the life of a young woman. Now she wanted to become a famous singer and songwriter. She succeeded.
Bibi Buell left her modeling career in the past, but really wanted her daughter to follow in her footsteps. Liv Tyler did not want to appear for fashion magazines, and used the move to New York in order to become an actress. She was loved by directors and viewers.
Music career
In 1981, Bibi made her first attempt to break through to the top of the musical Olympus. She recorded an album of four cover versions of her favorite songs. Later, she twice assembled the group and recorded new songs, which she wrote herself. However, the first time nothing happened - she did not manage to become famous because of problems in the family (just then Liv found out about her real father). She returned to Bibi's music only in 1994. Then she became famous in the USA and even put together a tour.
At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the film “Almost Famous” was dedicated to her. It was created by director Cameron Crowe. In his youth, he watched the social life of rock stars and could not help but notice Bibi. She impressed him with the fact that she was not a fanatical fan, but was a real muse for her idols.
In 2001, Bibi released her autobiography, Rebellious Heart: A Journey Through American Rock and Roll, in support of the film. This book has become a bestseller. Many after reading the book began to treat Bibi differently.
