Leighton Meester

Leighton Meester
Birth Date: April 09, 1986
Birth Place: Marco Island, Fla.

As Blair Waldorf – the ruling Queen Bee of New York's Upper East Side – Leighton Meester took her character to richer and bitchier heights when she chartered a helicopter to go to the airport and let her BFF take the wrap for a rumored pregnancy on The CW's Gossip Girl. With her ultra luxe wardrobe (and equally glossy lips), Meester has burst out of this ensemble to stardom.

Opposite Blake Lively and Chase Crawford, Meester's performance has been hailed by Variety as "a predatory junior Joan Collins who practically breathes fire out of her pinched, perfectly WASP-ish nostrils." Pre-GG, Meester made the TV rounds on such hit series as 24, House M.D. and Entourage, where she played a virginal pop star.
