Leighton Meester Unlike her onscreen alter-ego Blair Waldorf, who comes from the supercilious, self-contained universe known as New York City’s Upper East Side, Leighton Meester was born under decidedly less glamorous circumstances. Meester’s mother gave birth to her while she was serving a prison sentence for drug trafficking, though contrary to popular belief, Meester was born in a hospital, and not a jail cell. Meester has spent her career defending her mother’s past, and credits it for her nonjudgmental outlook on life. Check out her glam photo shoot...
