Gossip Girl Author Disagrees With Jessica’s Depiction
Gossip Girl author Cecily von Ziegesar says producer Josh Schwartz and his crew have been spot-on even though adaptations from page to screen can be quite difficult.
She tells MTV.com, “I’m a very faithful watcher… Generally I’m entertained and I think it’s great.” However, Von Ziegesar does see something unusual for the Gossip Girl TV series, its their depiction of the TV version of Vanessa, played by Jessica Szohr.
“I think Vanessa is one character they ruined,” she says. “In the book, she’s kick-ass and has a shaved head and wears lots of black. I think a lot of the readers who don’t usually read teen fiction identify with Vanessa,” In the show, Vanessa has more of a bohemian hipster look.
The author clarifies that it has nothing to do with Szohr, adding: “I just wish Vanessa was like she is in the books a bit more.”
She may disapprove of Dan Humprey’s bff, but von Ziegesar gives the rest of the characters a thumbs up, admitting she loves bad boy Chuck Bass.
“Leighton Meester is totally perfect for Blair, and Blake [Lively] is perfect for Serena. I was more worried they would insert Barbie-doll-looking people, which they didn’t,” says von Ziegesar. “I think the actors do a brilliant job. Chuck is my favorite character, and the way he looks and acts is in keeping with how he is in the beginning of the series.”
