Beverle Lorence "Bebe" Buell (/ˈbiːbiː ˈbjuːl/ BEE-bee BYUUL; born July 14, 1953) is an American singer and former model.

In 2001 Buell published her autobiography with St. Martin's Press (with Victor Bockris), Rebel Heart: An American Rock and Roll Journey.

[2][3] As her father was not at home at the time of Buell's birth, her mother waited until he got back before naming her daughter.

A few large record companies showed interest, but the Gargoyles disbanded when Liv Tyler's paternity became public in 1991.

After Liv left home in 1997, Buell recorded a solo effort with producer Don Fleming, released in 2000.

Buell played a series of live shows in the New York City area to promote the single.

On July 1, 1977, Buell gave birth to future actress/model Liv Tyler, but Buell initially named her child Liv Rundgren and claimed that Todd Rundgren was the biological father to protect the child from Tyler's drug addiction.

[19] Though they were not in the Flying Garter Girls group, various other women have been described as Crowe's inspiration, for instance Pamela Des Barres[20] and Buell.

Buell partially inspired Crowe; he named a lead singer character Jeff Bebe.
