 | This page needs some cleaning up to be presentable. The "list of roles" section lists the works, but not the roles. These need to be added. |
Actress born on August 25, 1987 and famous for The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, The Town, being a fashion darling, hanging around with Leonardo DiCaprio and Ryan Reynolds, having legs for miles and, of course, Gossip Girl. Not so much for Accepted. She got married to Reynolds; they have three daughters.
 |
(Serena) is played by Blake Lively, who clearly should be a young male porn star but is not.
—From Lucy Mangan's review of Gossip Girl in The Guardian on its British premiere.

Blake Lively has performed in the following roles:
- The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
- Accepted
- Simon Says - not to be confused with the one with Dennis Rodman, but a horror flick starring Crispin Glover and produced by her father. [1]
- Gossip Girl
- Elvis and Anabelle
- The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants 2
- New York, I Love You
- The Private Lives Of Pippa Lee
- The Town
- Green Lantern
- Hick
- Savages
Blake Lively provides examples of the following tropes:
- Absolute Cleavage
- Billing Displacement: See Simon Says above.
- Beauty Mark: It's on the left of her face, a la Cindy Crawford but smaller and nearer the nose.
- Distracted by the Sexy: Her detractors accuse her male fans of being thus.
- The Fashionista: Lagerfeld, Chanel, Wintour...
- Everyone Loves Blondes
- Gender Blender Name: See page heading quote.
- Life Imitates Art: Alhough Blair (Leighton Meester) arguably became the breakout character of Gossip Girl, Serena's tendency to upstage Blair eventually crossed over into the actresses's real lives. (And their box office returns - Green Lantern certainly wasn't a blockbuster, but it still did better than Monte Carlo. And The Roommate. And Country Strong. And...)
- Ms. Fanservice: And not just on screen - we're talking about a woman who attended the premiere of Sherlock Holmes showing a lot of skin. In December. In New York City. Now that's dedication.
- Romance on the Set: She met her future husband Ryan Reynolds during the filming of Green Lantern.
- She's Got Legs: And how!
- She Really Can Act: Blake got more than a few positive reviews for her turn in The Town.
- Star-Making Role: Serena van der Woodsen.
- Statuesque Stunner
- ↑ Fun fact - Blake is billed as the second lead but only appears in the last five minutes of the film, and plays a victim to be to boot.
