Leighton Meester played Blair Waldorf on the hit series "Gossip Girl" that aired on the CW from 2007-2012. During it's run, Gossip Girl -a tantalizing glimpse into the world of the Upper East Side of New York, was a must see and still is if you haven't already watched it. It made Leighton Meester, along with Blake Lively, the new talk of the town.

Gossip Girl was not only nominated for many different awards, but won several of them as well. Including several "Teen Choice Awards" and a "Young Hollywood Award," with Leighton winning two of them for "Choice TV Actress Drama."

Leighton has many other accomplishments other than Gossip Girl as well, she won the "Spotlight Award" for her performance in the movie "Country Strong"

Leighton was discovered by Sylvia when she was only 10 years old.

Here at Sylvia's Models and Talent, we believe that hard work pays off. The modeling and acting world isn't always pretty and at times it can seem discouraging but if you believe in yourself and keep trying, it will pay off.

 People who have succeeded have been told "No" more times than anyone else.

Here at Sylvia's we offer private development classes for acting and modeling, along with group classes. There is no age restriction, so everyone is invited to come and check us out!

We also have several runway shoes a year which can help build your resume. We have our own skilled photographer who will be able to help you build your comp cards/headshots.

We also attend "Convention" twice a year, which is an amazing opportunity to make connections and to help you figure out what direction you need to start taking.
