Biography

Blake Christina Lively was born August 25th, 1987 in Tarzana, California to a very talented family. She is the daughter of actor Ernie Lively and talent manager Elaine Lively, and her siblings, Eric, Lori, Jason and Robyn Lively, are actors as well.

When she was 11 years old, Blake received her first acting part from her father, director of the 1998 movie, Sandman. In his film, she played the small role of Trixie the Tooth Fairy. However, it was her next role, Bridget Vreeland in 2005's The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, that helped set the tone for her career. The performance earned her a Teen Choice Award nomination in the category "Choice Movie Breakout - Female."

Blake didn't win the award that year, but she made up for it in 2008 by getting two Teen Choice awards ("Choice TV Actress: Drama" and "Choice TV Breakout Star Female") for her portrayal of Serena van der Woodsen on the series Gossip Girl. In the same year, she also reprised her earlier role in the sequel, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2.

Quotes

"In high school, there are so many cliques. You're never safe. In between my junior and senior years, I went away to film Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, and I came back ready to do the things with my friends that we always did, but things change. People get older, and there are some inside jokes that you don't know about that have happened. You feel lost for a while, and it's hard to come back from that. Then the friends who have "replaced" you are territorial. I've experienced that a little bit. There are catty, insecure, and gossipy girls everywhere, but for me, I don't think it's a matter of any of them being genuinely bad at heart."
"At the end of the day, Brad Pitt poops - as handsome as he may be - and so does Angelina Jolie."
