In a new documentary, Introducing, Selma Blair, the Cruel Intentions star shares her story of undergoing stem cell treatment for multiple sclerosis.
“I was sometimes funny and miserable, and full of love,” Blair offers a dark optimism of unknowingly living with MS, but ultimately admits that “there was a melancholy of grief, always, and always a grief of isolation.”
Now, though, the 49-year-old is facing her MS diagnosis with confidence and radical self-acceptance: “I’m pretty comfortable with my body now and unapologetic about that. And I think there’s room for some of that.”
