Gossip Girl actress Leighton Meester recently reflected on her audition process to win the coveted role of Blair Waldorf over FIVE years ago, saying QUOTE: "I started auditioning back in December 2006. The process was really long. At the time, I wanted to move to New York, but I didn't have a reason or any money. So when my agent sent me the Gossip Girl script, I thought Blair was perfect for me.... Originally the script had my character suffering from an eating disorder," she added, "but they ended up taking it out."
Now, while I wasn't able to track down Leighton's actual audition for the hit CW show, I was able to find a little gem from back in 2007 where she talks about herself AND her former co-star Taylor Momsen goofing off on set during season 1.
