Biography

Younger brother of Douglas Logan Meester (born 1983) and actress Leighton Meester (born 1986).

Brother-in-law of Adam Brody.

Lex Meester was diagnosed with brain cancer in infancy. In 2010 he became debilitated by horrible headaches that went undiagnosed for almost a year. Finally two large blood vessels were found to be wrapped around the trigeminal nerve in his brain. Another surgery was done in May, 2011, and he was declared fully disabled. Since then he's had eight more surgeries, including two more major brain surgeries. His mother supported him through In-Home-Supportive Services. Tests have shown he has been losing his eyesight, directly related to that tumor in his right temporal lobe.
