Leighton Meester’s life didn’t begin with any promise of glamour. There were no Hollywood connections, no privileged introductions to studio executives, no glossy family legacy waiting to usher her onto a film set. Instead, she arrived in the world under circumstances that most people only read about: born while her mother was serving a federal…
