The roll of arwen!


In the lord of the rings books, it was said that lady arwen absolutely the most bautiful women around. When I look at liv tyler, who is pretty, I can't see that image. Until I saw her, she would've been great for the roll of arwen. Absolutely stunning, mysterious, beuatiful all aspects that is needed for the roll of arwen

Not a bad call there, though elves are supposed to be very fair. Her complexion might be too dark for Arwen.

Elves were somewhat quite pale skinned, she would have been to dark unfortunately. Liv did a great job ;)

Elves should be played by Scandinavian women really, if you think about it!

If it means anything, Liv's name is Welsh for "Life". Also, there aren't any Indians in Middle-Earth. And Liv was perfect.

Yes but Elves are from Germanic mythology. The Celtic version is called a Sidhe in Irish and Tylwyth Teg in Welsh.
