One of Hollywood's most exciting and versatile young actors, Selma Blair first gained attention for her performance in Cruel Intentions, a youthful retelling of the classic novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses.

After graduating from high school in Michigan, Blair moved to New York City to pursue her goal of being a photographer but found her way to acting classes at the Stella Adler Conservatory and the Column Theatre.

Blair starred for two seasons as the title character in the WB's Zoe and then appeared in the hit comedy Legally Blonde opposite Reese Witherspoon. She subsequently starred opposite Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate in The Sweetest Thing and in two independent films that garnered her much critical acclaim: Dana Lustig's Kill Me Later and Todd Solodnz's controversial Storytelling.

Last year, Blair starred in Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy -- the sequel to which she will shoot next year -- and appeared in John Waters' A Dirty Shame. She was most recently seen in Paul Weitz's In Good Company opposite Topher Grace.

Her upcoming film appearances include Pretty Persuasion, The Alibi opposite Steve Coogan and The Night of the White Pants starring Tom Wilkinson and Nick Stahl.
