Leighton Meester's "Gossip Girl" success is an example of how a talented actress can attract other actors of similar abilities to create the environment for a great show. The pregnant beauty was recently mentioned by fellow "Gossip Girl" actor Chace Crawford during an interview with 'The Star' as one of the main reasons that he knew he wanted to be part of the show.

The talented actor confessed that once he 'read' with her and Blake Lively that he realized that "Gossip Girls" was a cast he wanted to be part of, a sentiment that has some entertainment fans on social media believing that he realized that the show would be a ratings success in large part due to Leighton Meester (Unreality tv.co.uk - September 12).
There are some actresses who not only exude confidence but possess a 'star' quality similar to having a 'Midas' touch or possess the desired intangible 'It' characteristic that others who look at the person or work with them are able to identify as evidence that the person is a potential star and Leighton Meester it seems is one of those people in the view of the in-demand actor Chace Crawford.

His statement that the presence of her as part of the "Gossip Girl" cast made him realize that the show would have a "really cool dynamic" likely has the attention of some producers, directors and screenwriters who are preparing scripts for television and movie project that will start filming in 2017 and need a leading lady who can attract fans to a project.
Leighton Meester will be away from the entertainment industry for a year with the upcoming birth of her first child but she will be someone producers keep in their conversations thanks to the comments of Chace Crawford and because her presence attracts other talented actors to her projects which heightens the potential for success in projects such as "Gossip Girl".
