Why You Don't Hear From Liv Tyler Anymore

May 2024 · 1 minute read

Tyler further distanced herself from Hollywood when she picked up a pen. In 2013, she teamed up with her grandmother, etiquette expert Dorothea Johnson, to pen Modern Manners: Tools to Take You to the Top. Part etiquette protocol, part personable commentary, the book served as a dos and don't's guide tailor-made for 21st-century professionals, with advice covering both business and social life.

"The book was brought about simply because I saw a tremendous need with young professionals, and unfortunately they would lose their advantage in their job because they were rude," Johnson told The Rachael Ray Show. "And I decided they didn't know what they didn't know."

While discussing what she hopes people take away from the book's many lessons, Tyler added, "It's a good foundation, you know? It has those basic values." The actress recalled an important piece of advice she received from her grandmother while growing up. "She always said to me, in any situation to just stop and look and listen — when you're nervous, when you're excited, when you're overwhelmed — and really take everything in," Tyler said. "And just remember that basic kindness."
