I thougth that she was just an American actress, maybe with Italian or Jewish background.
Does she have her hair that curly in Gossip Girl?

Very intersting I belive the girl can pass a White, if the hair is straight. From a phenotypic prespective very intersting. To me she smeed like any White American girl except for the hair,which gives something exotic about her looks.

She looks the Whitest in the first pic where her hair is not so frizzy/kinky. In that pic I see a resemblence to Rachel Weisz.

Beautiful. Imo she could probably pass for white, but there is still something distinctive about her nose that would make me think other wise.

I actually attempted to watch one episode to get a better glimpse of her. She isn't a bad actress. She has a very ethnic Caucasian phenotype. Her facial features on TV are not as sharp but very cutish and adorable. Her complexion also is slightly tanned which one may notice while she is with co-stars with very light skin tones. She has great potential, I wish her the best.

The only thing about her that implies 'non-White', IMO, is her hair.
My hair is similar in the kinky-curly shot.

Cool

Evening, Upper East Siders! So last night we went to Central Park North (a.k.a. 110th Street) for Esquire's fête to honor Bill Cosby at the mag's swank bachelor pad. Much as we love us some vintage Dr. Huxtable, last night was all about Gossip Girl and the chance to talk to Jessica Szohr, who plays Vanessa. Yes, that's right, Dan's annoying friend who likes to enter his room through the window. Come on, we're not in Dawson's Creek here, Vanessa! First and foremost, we have to point out that Jessica Szohr is not as terrible as her character on the show. Last night, she was wearing a very nice simple black sweaterdress and tights and had really red lipstick on. Unless Vanessa gets a job hosting at the Waverly Inn, we know she's not gonna be rocking a simple black dress anytime soon. Which brings us to our first question. What exactly is Vanessa's deal? Why does she dress like an extra from a New Kids on the Block video? Thank God we had Jessica to break it down for us!
"In the book, Vanessa was very gothic, always in black, with piercings and when we started the show, they wanted to make her kind of Lower East Side … tight skinny jeans, high-tops, and things like that," Szohr explained. "I had just moved here so I wasn't aware of the neighborhoods, so when I was doing homework for my character, I went to the Lower East Side."

So we already know Vanessa and Dan have been friends since they were 6, she moved to Vermont and returned to Dan's life via the window of his dad's Dumbo/Williamsburg loft, and now she's been elbowed out of his affections by Serena. What next? "I think Vanessa might get a boyfriend and I don't know for a fact, but I think Dan might say, 'I don't want her to be with someone else,'" says Szohr. WHAT? DO NOT TELL US THAT. "I'm taking a little bit of what I read in the books, but the show isn't totally taken from the books," she explained.

Man, if Vanessa makes Dan screw up his relationship with Serena next season, those CW writers are going to wish they never came back from the picket lines. —Fiona Byrne

JESSICA SZOHR ("Krista"), the oldest of six children, grew up in Menomomee Falls, Wisconsin, a small town just outside Milwaukee. She graduated from high school a semester early and moved to Los Angeles to pursue her acting dream in 2003.
Starting in commercials and print modeling work, Szohr has worked steadily in television series such as My Wife and Kids, Joan of Arcadia, What I Like About You, Cracking Up, Drake and Josh, That’s So Raven and The Reading Room, a television film that stars James Earl Jones. Szorh also portrayed the M.C. in the2003 comedy/drama Uncle Nino, which co-starred Joe Mantegna and Anne Archer.
