Biography |
Blake Lively was born in Tarzana, California, on August 25,
1987. She is the daughter of actors Ernie and Elaine Lively.
Blake is the youngest of five; she has two older brothers
(Eric and Jason) and two older sisters (Lori and Robyn). All
of her siblings, like her parents, are actors in the film
industry.
In 1998, when she was only 10 years old, Blake made her
acting debut in the film Sandman. The film was directed by
her father and also starred her sister, Lori, and brother,
Eric. In the musical family movie, Blake played the Tooth
Fairy. She stayed away from all other acting jobs after her
debut in Sandman to be a regular elementary- and
middle-school student.
Between 2001 and 2005, Blake was a normal high-school
student at Burbank High. She acted as class president and
participated in extracurricular activities like cheerleading
and singing with a nationally recognized show choir. In
2004, however, Blake received a chance to renew her interest
in acting. As a high-school senior, she decided to take a
break to pursue her interests, and it paid off.
In 2005, Blake made a name for herself playing Bridget in
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. In the film, she
attends a soccer camp in Mexico where she falls for a coach.
Blake's father, Ernie, played her father in the movie. When
filming for The Sisterhood wrapped, Blake went back to high
school to complete her senior year; she graduated in the
spring of 2005. At the 2005 Teen Choice Awards, Blake was
nominated for Choice Movie Breakout Performance for her role
in The Sisterhood.
Blake has been cast in the horror film Simon Says, starring
Crispin Glover. This film is a family affair for Blake, as
she is joined by her sisters, her father and her
brother-in-law, Bart Johnson. Three of Bart's siblings,
Glover's father and two other family pairs new to acting
will also make appearances.
To balance out the horror, Blake has also been cast in the
comedy Accepted with Jeepers Creepers star Justin Long. This
is her first starring role in a feature film.
