Leighton Meester

Leighton Marissa Claire Meester was born April 9, 1986. She was born on Marco Island, Florida and is now 22 years old. She has an older brother named Douglas. Her first appearance on television was in 1999, she played Alyssa Turner on Law and Order. She has appeared on many popular T.V series, such as House, Veronica Mars and CSI:Miami. She is best know for her leading role in the CW’s Gossip Girl portraying Blair Waldorf. She has also been in a number of films, starring in the comedy/horror Drive-Thru and The Hangman’s Curse.

Leighton says that she has identified with Blair in many ways, and her performance on the show has been met with a mostly positive report. She attended high school in Beverly Hills, California. She is an aspiring singer and sometime this year she is releasing an electric pop album.


The petite and dazzling American actress Leighton Meester began her career somewhat prestigiously and intelligently, with appearances in such popular series as 24, Law && Order, and 7th Heaven, but in time Meester's involvement in a few less-esteemed projects (such as the TV series Tarzan, and the slasher movie Drive-Thru, about a killer fast-food mascot who dresses as a clown) threatened to overshadow this early promise. Fortunately, Meester continued to demonstrate genre versatility and prolificness as she aggressively tackled new roles. In fall 2007, she could be be seen co-starring on the new CW teen drama Gossip Girl.
