Today she, Liv, and Bebe Buell, Liv's mother, are having a family get-together in New York, while Dorothea has meetings for her sixth book, Modern Manners, out next year. And let's face it," she says, lowering her voice politely, "it's here to stay."
"I like classical music and Frank Sinatra, but I'm always open to a new experience. "I got to the stage door and this girl said, 'You're Dorothea, aren't you?' I said, 'How did you know?' And she said, 'Steven said you wouldn't look like anyone else,'" the blonde-coiffed Johnson, now 82, says, giggling. She was there to watch the concert with her only grandchild, Liv Tyler, daughter of lead singer Steven Tyler. She'd just gotten off a plane from D.C., where she founded the Protocol School of Washington, but she wasn't there to teach rock stars any table manners. There's nothing worse than having to get up at seven every morning, get Milo dressed, me dressed, walk the dog, make breakfast, get him to school by 8.30, and then have all the paparazzi jumping up from behind a bush when you have no make-up on.".It was 1997 and etiquette expert Dorothea Johnson pulled up to an Aerosmith show in Boston clad in an Armani suit. The mum of seven-year-old son Milo adds, "They taught me to just take that extra bit of time. In the world, she's been a businesswoman, but for me she's always been nurturing." The actress will share some of her best-learned tips and words of wisdom, admitting she still puts into practice most of Johnson's advice for always looking and acting like a polished woman. Tyler tells Harper's Bazaar, "My grandmother is an incredible teacher.
And now Tyler is to thank her beloved relative for her years of devotion by giving Johnson a career lift and writing a short intro to her sixth tome, Modern Manners. The Armageddon star and daughter of rocker Steven Tyler was raised by her model mum Bebe Buell and etiquette coach grandmother Dorothea Johnson. Actress Liv Tyler is set to give her grandmother's new manners book a big boost by penning the novel's foreword.
