Her brother is actor Eric Lively, and her half-siblings are actors Lori Lively, Robyn Lively, and Jason Lively. Both of her parents and all of her siblings are or have been, in the entertainment industry, and She followed her parents’ and siblings’ steps.
During her childhood, her parents took her to acting classes that they taught because they did not want to leave her with a babysitter. Blake Lively said that watching her parents teach acting helped her learn the “drills” and gain confidence as she got older and entered the entertainment industry.
She attended Burbank High School, where she was a senior class president, a cheerleader and a member of the championship choir. Her brother Eric asked his talent agent to send her on a few auditions over a period of a few months during the summer. From these auditions, she was cast as Bridget for The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005) and filmed her scenes in between her junior and senior years.

Career
Blake Lively began her acting career at age 10, the role was Trixie, the Tooth Fairy in the musical movie Sandman (1998), directed by her father. She describes her role as a “bit part”. She was initially not particularly interested in acting and wanted to attend Stanford University.
Her big break came along a few years later, though. Blake was up to finish high school when she got the co-starring role of Bridget in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005). Her performance earned her a Teen Choice Award nomination for Breakout Movie Star.
Blake was so perfect for the role of Bridget Vreeland that, with no big references or even auditioning, she landed the role. According to her, all she did was walk in and leave a photo of herself. It was clear that she was the Bridget needed. After the film, Blake went back to high school for her senior year to have the life of a regular teenager — or a very busy regular teenager. She was class president, a cheerleader, and performed with the choir.
After finishing her diploma, she immediately returned to acting, starring opposite Justin Long and Jonah Hill in the 2006 comedy Accepted. A year later, in 2007, Lively landed her most famous role to date on the CW’s hit teen drama Gossip Girl.

In a January 2010 profile, Esquire called Lively “the most promising and interesting and talented young actress of the year.” She displayed a grittier side in her role as a young mother in Ben Affleck’s crime thriller The Town that same year. Both the film and Lively’s performance drew widespread critical acclaim.
In 2011, she played the female lead in the superhero movie ‘Green Lantern’. The movie, unfortunately, was not a commercial success.
