“I’m not a child that’s
grown up in this business, who’s watched every step or had people watching my
life. I’ve made mistakes. I’m just a regular girl from Michigan, a regular
mess-up like everyone else.”
After training at The Stella Adler Conservatory,
pretty dark-haired Selma Blair began her acting career with a series of small
roles on film and television. In 1997 she appeared briefly in the features
"In & Out" and "Arresting Gena" and had a larger role in
the independent "Strong Island Boys". The following year, Blair acted
in the series premiere of the Fox comedy "Getting Personal" and had a
featured guest role in the CBS drama "Promised Land" as a troubled
teenager with a drinking problem. She appeared in the 1998 USA Network TV-movie
"No Laughing Matter" before landing a role in the ensemble of the teen
comedy feature "Can't Hardly Wait" (1998). Blair had her first
starring film role in the thriller "Brown's Requiem" (1998) and was
chosen to head the cast of the coming-of-age midseason replacement series "Zoe,
Duncan, Jack & Jane" (The WB, 1999-2000), playing Zoe Bean, a witty and
blunt Manhattan teenager. She was also tapped for the role of shy Cecile in
"Cruel Intentions", a contemporary reworking of "Les Liaisons
Dangereuses" set in New York starring Sarah Michelle Gellar and Ryan
Phillippe, and was featured in the music-themed "Girl" (both 1999). More...
