==Early life==
Meester was born in Fort Worth, Texas, to Constance (née Haas) and Douglas Meester, and lived most of her life in New York City and Los Angeles. Her ancestry includes German, Dutch, English, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh. At the time of her birth, her mother was serving time in a federal prison for her involvement in a drug ring that smuggled marijuana from Jamaica to the USA. She was able to give birth to Leighton in a hospital and nurse her for three months in a halfway house, before returning to prison to complete her sentence,〔〔 after which Leighton's grandmother cared for her. She has a brother, Alexander, who is eight years younger. Meester has maintained that her parents gave her a normal upbringing and, despite their criminal past, "It made me realize that you can't judge anyone—especially your parents—for what they've done in their past, because people change." In 2011, Leighton was involved in a lawsuit with her mother. Meester has joked, "Look, I could've turned out a lot worse." She has cited her mother as her style icon.〔''Mail on Sunday'', November 21, 2010〕 Her father works for an internet company and her mother is a writer.
Meester grew up in Marco Island, Florida, where she participated in productions at a local playhouse.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Leighton Meester )〕 When she was 11 years old, Meester and her mother moved to New York City.〔 Meester attended the Professional Children's School and also began working as a model with Wilhelmina, booking a Ralph Lauren campaign shot by Bruce Weber and working with then photographer (now filmmaker) Sofia Coppola〔 as well as many commercials including Tamagotchi toys and Clearasil. She has also posed for Limited Too campaigns alongside fellow future actress, Amanda Seyfried, in which Seyfried recalls, "Leighton was very confident." Meester made her television acting debut as a murder victim's friend on an episode of ''Law & Order''.〔〔 At 14, Meester moved to Los Angeles, California, wanting more stable work, and attended Hollywood High School and Beverly Hills High School.〔 She then transferred to a small private school and graduated a year early.
