She stars in the new CW television series Gossip Girl, based on the novels by Cecily Von Ziegesar. And plays the character of Jenny Humphrey.
On the show, Jenny is the younger sister of Dan Humphrey, and like her brother, she is an aspiring artist. Jenny is aware of the fact that she is an outsider among the society girls, but still desires to be like them, especially Serena. And she goes to great lengths to fit in. In the literary world, Jenny became the main character in a Gossip Girl spin-off, The It Girl series. On the show, however, Jenny remains part of the Gossip Girl group. What do you think of Taylor playing Jenny?
