Leighton Marissa Meester (born April 9, 1986) is an American actress and singer. Meester’s last name means “master” or “teacher” in Dutch. Meester has maintained that her parents gave her a normal upbringing and, despite their criminal past, are good people with experience that has only made Meester more open-minded and non-judgmental, “It made me realize that you can’t judge anyone — especially your parents — for what they’ve done in their past, because people change.” Meester has joked, “Look, I could’ve turned out a lot worse.” She has cited her mother as her style icon.
