Selma Beitner

Selma Blair is an American actress best known for her role as a rival to the main character in Legally Blonde, as well as for her portrayal of Hellboy's lover.

Selma Blair Beitner (she gave up her paternal surname at 23, after her parents divorced) was born on June 23, 1972 in Southfield, Michigan. The girl became the youngest in the family - besides her, her parents had 3 more daughters: Kate, Elizabeth and Mary.

The future actress was brought up in Jewish traditions, her middle name is Bat-Sheva, which means "The Seventh Daughter" in Hebrew. She attended Hillel School in Farmington Hills, then Cranbrook Kingswood in Bloomsfield Hills. After that, the girl studied photography at Kalamazoo College for a year. Initially, Selma did not think about an acting career - she wanted to become either a ballerina or a horse trainer.

At the age of 20, the girl moved to New York. The big city turned out to be a difficult place - Selma was forced to save every cent and live in the shelters of the Salvation Army. Regardless, she attended New York University and took acting classes.

She later returned to Michigan to continue her studies. She graduated with honors from Blair University, becoming a Bachelor of Arts in Photography in 1994 and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. After that, Selma again went to New York to come to grips with her career.

The aspiring actress got her first role in 1995 in the children's comedy series The Adventures of Pete and Pete, and a year later she made her film debut in the film The Theory of Broccoli. In 1997, Selma performed the first major role in her biography. The Strong Islanders featured a real-life Long Island street gang. After the release of the tape about the girl, Alec Baldwin spoke positively, calling her something in between Debra Winger and Marlene Dietrich.

In 2000, Selma appeared in an episode of the hit TV series Xena, Warrior Princess and was also cast as Joey Potter in Dawson's Creek, but was later replaced by Katie Holmes. Another unsuccessful casting was the selection for the role of the main character of the series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", where Sarah Michelle Gellar passed Selma.

After several years of auditions, filming in independent films and episodic characters, Blair got a prominent role, albeit a supporting role, in the movie "Cruel Intentions." The tape received mixed reviews from critics, but was a success with viewers.

In 2001, Selma appeared in the breakthrough film Legally Blonde, where she played the bitchy rival of the heroine Reese Witherspoon. The tape did not pretend to be serious and complex plot, but throughout the weekend it was the most visited film in theaters.

2004 was another major milestone in Blair's filmography - she starred in the movie Hellboy: Hero from Inferno. The actress embodied the image of Liz Sherman, the eternally gloomy pyrokinetic girl, the beloved of the protagonist. The movie in general, and Selma's acting in particular, were well received by critics and audiences alike, including fans of the original comic book series about the hornless demon.

Another resonant film of 2004 was the film "Dirty Shame", where the actress played an exhibitionist dancer. Because of the explicit scenes, the film received the highest possible ratings for screening - NC-17, and for director John Waters it was frankly unsuccessful. However, critics responded positively about Selma's game, and the actress herself was included in the list of the 100 sexiest women of the year according to FHM magazine.

After that, Blair starred in films of a wide variety of topics - she appeared in thrillers, dramas, comedies, and independent films.

In 2008, viewers again saw Selma in the form of Liz Sherman: the sequel to the first film, Hellboy: The Golden Army, was released. In this tape, the role of Blair has become deeper than in the first part, and the film itself again won over both critics and viewers, eventually collecting $ 160 million in the United States alone.

In addition to the movie screen, Blair has repeatedly performed roles on television. In particular, the actress starred in 53 episodes of the multi-part project "Anger Management", where she played the main character therapist. However, in 2013, Selma left the project due to disagreements with Charlie Sheen.

In 2016, Blair played in the miniseries American Crime Story: The People Against O. Jay Simpson. In the plot about the high-profile murder case of Nicole-Brown Simpson, Selma played Kris Jenner, the ex-wife of Robert Kardashian, O. Jay's lawyer.

In the same year, Selma appeared in the independent film Mother's Day, where the actress's partners on the set were Susan Sarandon, Sharon Stone, Mira Sorvino and Courteney Cox. Critics, however, were not enthusiastic about the tape. In particular, the movie was accused of wanting to fit a lot of dramatic lines into 90 minutes, which is why the actresses cannot play at full strength.

The personal life of the actress began with a tragedy - in 1990, a young man who was her first love died. Later, talking in an interview about this loss, Selma said that this event finally convinced her of the value of life.

In 2003, Blair began dating Ahmet Zappa, the son of musician Frank Zappa, and the couple got married on January 24, 2004. The marriage lasted 2 years - in 2006, Selma announced that she and her husband were divorcing, but would continue to remain friends.

From 2008 to 2010, Blair met with actor Mikey Day, then with fashion designer Jason Blake.

In January 2011, the actress announced her pregnancy, and soon fans could see with their own eyes the veracity of the words - a photo of Selma in a swimsuit left no doubt about Blair's “interesting position”.

On July 25, 2011, the couple's son, Arthur, was born, and in 2012 Selma and Jason announced their separation.

In October 2018, Selma admitted that she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a serious and incurable disease. The woman said that for a long time she had no idea how serious her condition was, and attributed the symptoms to fatigue and minor neurological diseases.

Now the actress, having finally understood what is happening, is fighting the disease and remains optimistic. New photos regularly appear on the Instagram blog, mostly illustrating the usual life of the actress. Despite the difficulties, Selma remains in shape - with a height of 163 cm, the weight of the actress is 53 kg.

Blair continues to act actively - in 2018, two TV series with her participation were released at once: "Deadly Attraction" and "Lost in Space".

1994 - "The Adventures of Pete and Pete" 1996 - "Broccoli Theory" 1997 - "Strong Islanders" 1998 - "Mafia Requiem" 2001 - "The Storyteller" 2001 - "Legally Blonde" 2002 - "Cutie" 2004 - "Hellboy: Hero from Hell "2004 -" Dirty Shame "2007 -" Holiday of Love "2008 -" Hellboy II: The Golden Army "2015 -" Sex, Death and Bowling "2016 -" American Crime Story "2018 -" Death Attraction "
