In 1990, Mia moved with her mother to New York City, where she attended Manhattan's Professional Children's School. But during adolescence, Mia lacked direction. At age 16, Mia helped direct an indie movie. Then, taking up acting, she appeared on MTV's House of Style and the 1997 pilot of the CBS series, Michael Hayes.
The following year, one of Mia's showbiz friends who had gotten a job at a PR firm suggested an alternative: posing for Lane Bryant, a clothing line/retailer that was looking for models. At first, Mia said no. But when the offer was presented again, Mia took it. "I was still a spoiled daddy's girl," Mia revealed. "Not a wussy one but, you know, I was sitting on my butt doing nothing. No aspirations. So I thought, 'Well, it's money and I haven't made any of my own yet.'"
Mia's decision proved to be the right one. Starting with a spread in Seventeen, Tyler's modeling career took off, and she has also appeared in Teen, Mode and USA Today Weekend. Most recently, she has been profiled in Vogue, and made the cover of Flare. Represented by the Wilhelmina modeling agency, she became a model for H&M's Big is Beautiful range, joining the ranks of other H&M alums including Claudia Schiffer, Gisele Bundchen and Naomi Campbell. Mia has also become the face of Canadian plus-size retailer, Pennington's.
However, modeling has not entirely eclipsed Mia's acting career. A cameo in the Coen brothers' Odyssey send-up, O Brother, Where Art Thou? was followed by the lead in A Little Bit of Lipstick, and appearances in other small films. In 2001, Mia took up TV hosting as a VJ on MTV2.
But both modeling and acting are just day jobs for Mia; her real ambition is to become a musician like her father. "I want to start a band," she says. Music has always been a part of the Tyler family -- who lost Mia's mother Cyrinda to a brain tumor in 2002 -- so it's no surprise that at last report, Mia was dating Papa Roach drummer Dave Buckner.
Mia Tyler can be seen in the film, Don't Stand So Close to Me.
