About Jessica Szohr
On Gossip Girl, she plays the nice girl turned bad Brooklynite on the wrong side of the bridge who struggles with her Upper East Side friends. Jessica Szohr was the girl next door who developed into a seductive vixen, much like her Gossip Girl character who helped make her famous. As a cute little girl from the Midwest, this good girl was no stranger to the cameras, but as an adult, she went from selling oatmeal to ruling the affluent Upper East Side and posing in nothing but body paint and a come hither grin.
Jessica most certainly wasn’t a camera-averse youngster. Jessica, a young woman from the Midwest who was raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was the older of her four siblings. But when Jessica received a modeling contract at the age of five, she proved to her parents that she didn’t want to share the limelight. Jessica’s first break came a year later when she was hired for a Quaker Oats commercial campaign. Through high school, she continued to work as a spokesmodel, appearing in advertisements for Kohl’s, Mountain Dew, Sears, and Jockey.
After Jessica finished from high school, she and her mother relocated to Los Angeles like so many other would-be actors. There, she was cast in small roles on series like What About Brian, CSI: Miami, That’s So Raven, and What I Like About You. She was gradually demonstrating her acting prowess; all she needed was the part to let the world see it and catapult her into the spotlight.
When Jessica was chosen for the role in the Gossip Girl television series, her prayers were granted in 2007. Similar to Jessica, Vanessa Abrams was the girl next door who made a name for herself in a competitive industry. Jessica and the rest of the Gossip Girl ensemble became overnight adolescent sensations thanks to the CW hit about teen socialites in the Upper East Side.
Jessica, meanwhile, found more on the program than just a lead part. She started dating her hot co-star Ed Westwick in 2009. However, the turbulent relationship was called off after less than a year.
When she agreed to work with Christian Bale in Piranha 3D (2010) and Wanted Dead (2011), Jessica made the transition from television to the big screen. There is no doubt that this Hollywood gossip girl, who is firmly establishing herself, will remain around for a while.
“I got my star modeling, but my parents wanted me to have another job, so my friend and I started a cleaning company. We would got to our teachers’ houses and clean.”
