Blake Lively

If you grew up watching the biggest and most popular TV shows in the late 2000s until the early 2010s, you would definitely know Blake Lively, aka Serena Vander Woodsen.Two entertainment professionals in California raised the actress, so it’s not surprising that Lively also trekked the elusive Hollywood path. The actress began her journey in 2005 after being cast in the film The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. The film also served as Lively’s breakout role.

Soon after the actress bid farewell to the SOTTP, she once again embarked on a massively successful project Gossip Girl. Lively was already an emerging star at this point, but her role as the New York socialite Serena Vander Woodsen blew her fame to a large degree. More success followed after Lively finished Gossip Girl, including the superhero movie The Green Lantern, where she met her husband, Ryan Reynolds. Apart from being an actress, Lively is also now a mom to her three kids.
