Leighton Meester stars as Blair Waldorf in The CW's new drama "Gossip Girl," from Josh Schwartz ("The O.C."), based on the tremendously popular book series about privileged teenagers who attend an elite private school in New York City.
After making her television debut when she was 13 on "Law & Order," she got her breakout role in 2004 with a recurring role as the Britney Spears-like singer Justine Chapin on the hit series "Entourage." She continued to work steadily with guest-star roles on series like "8 Simple Rules," "Numbers" and "CSI Miami," and has had recurring roles on popular series such as "24," "Veronica Mars," "Shark" and "House." In addition, she had regular roles on "Tarzan" and "Surface."
Meester made her film debut in the feature "Hangman's Curse," based on the best-selling novel by Frank Peretti. She also recently starred in the independent film "Flourish" with future "House" co-stars Jennifer Morrison and Jesse Spencer, and in the drama "Inside." Meester's upcoming feaure films roles include the dramedy "The Beautiful Ordinary," the horror/comedy "Drive-Thru" and the thriller "Dead of Night."
Raised in Marco Island, Florida, Meester became interested in acting when she appeared in a local production of "The Wizard of Oz." When she was 11, she moved with her family to New York City and soon after began working as a model with Wilhemina, booking a Ralph Lauren campaign shot by Bruce Webber and working with then photographer Sophia Coppola.
When not on the set, Meester passionately pursues her talent for music and creative writing. She has recorded a song for the soundtrack of her upcoming film "Drive-Thru." She currently resides in New York. {Source}

Leighton Quotes;
"There's butterflies, definitely, but it's a good kind of nervous energy, because everybody's really starting to get to know each other, and starting something new that we really hope works out."
"The way Blair and I are NOT alike when it comes to insecurities is: SHE pays SO much attention to hers!"
"[Competition] can be so fierce and discouraging. But I think you can grow out of that, especially if you realize the only way you find success is: Figure out what works for you and what doesn't."
"I love being able to put on ice skates and be a little bitch all morning."
"The only way to play Blair, or any character, and make her human, is to find what she is inside me, and I know I have my insecurities, too."
"I think the show will be relatable to lots of girls and even grown women, and a guilty pleasure for guys!"
(about her younger brother having a brain tumor) "When something like that happens, it’s meant to show you that something so special, so important can be taken from you so easily."
"My mom remained strong enough to get him through that time and all I could do is to say, ‘Mommy, I love you, please don’t be sad."
"My mother always believed in me and tried to help me pursue my dreams."
"She [her mother] has a lot of faith in me."
(about her younger brother having a brain tumor) "He doesn’t remember, but sometimes, he said, You know, I am meant to do something special. I was meant to live."
