Model, singer, and mother of one Liv Tyler, Bebe Buell isn't exactly your average groupie. In fact, she dislikes the term quite intensely, preferring the term "muse" instead. Buell's fondness for rock music — and rock musicians — led to dating major names from The Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger, Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, and Aerosmith's Steven Tyler to David Bowie, Iggy Pop, and perhaps most famously Todd Rundgren. In 1974, she also posed for Playboy. 

Buell's rock 'n' roll relationships eventually transitioned into a music career of her own, starting with the short-lived rock group Bebe Buell and the B-Sides in 1981.
