Taylor Momsen is well known for her role as Cindy Lou Who in How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Jenny Humphrey on Gossip Girl, but did you know she grew up in Potomac? Momsen attended Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School in Bethesda for elementary school and then Hoover Middle School.
She was cast in her first national commercial as a four year old and later her first major motion picture– The Prophet’s Game with Dennis Hopper. In 2002, she played Gretel in Hansel and Gretel and Alexandra, the President’s daughter, in Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams. After a three year stall, she landed the lead in a WB series titled Misconceptions that never made it to the air.
