Selma Blair is ready for her closeup once again. The actress, 52, previously thought that multiple sclerosis would prevent her from acting again, but she’s now ready to get back in the game.
When mulling potential comeback vehicles, Blair expressed interest in working with White Lotus creator Mike White, whom Jennifer Coolidge has credited with revitalizing her career. Blair rose to prominence for her roles in ‘90s and 2000s films including Cruel Intentions, Legally Blonde and The Sweetest Thing, and she’s now looking forward to playing more mature parts.Blair was diagnosed with MS in 2018, but her symptoms began long before then. She told Us that she “became much happier” after discovering the cause behind the “jerks and spasms” she’d been experiencing for years.
“My horoscope last year said I would turn beautiful this year. I’m really shocked and pleased,” she said. “There is such a thing as the gravity of grief. I realize what I have to do to take care of myself more now. I also accept all the things that come with the physical parts of me that have changed, and that was a huge beauty boost.”
