'Gossip Girl' Blake Lively on Pippa Lee's Dexadrine overdose

"Gossip Girl" star Blake Lively talks about auditioning for her role as a teenage Pippa in Rebecca Miller's "The Private Lives of Pippa Lee" and working with Maria Bello, Robin Wright Penn and Alan Arkin.

How did this incredible role come to her?

"I auditioned for her and I had to do this scene where I take my mother's entire bottle of Dexadrine and we're fighting and I'm cracked out of my mind on speed. And we come into a physical fight, as well as a verbal one and it's just like this crazy scene I had to do it in a 4 by 4 audition room with Rebecca Miller sitting in front of me. And I was so terrified but I gave it my all. At the end of it, she said, 'Oh my goodness,' and walks out of the room and then came back in and said, 'You're my Pippa.'"

OK, but she'll always be our Serena van der Woodsen a.k.a. Queen S.
