– I felt that I recorded the last days of my life, says Selma Blair in a trailer to the new documentary «Introducing, Selma Blair» writes CNN.
The documentary directed by Rachel Fleit is not just about living with MS. But also both about accepting and being resilient at the same time as the condition worsens.
“I always thought I was in a reality show,” Blair said at the beginning of the two-minute trailer.

Earlier this week, it became known that Blair’s acting colleague Christina Applegate (49) has also been diagnosed with the disease multiple sclerosis.
– Hi friends. A couple of months ago I was diagnosed with MS, writes Hollywood star Christina Applegate Twitter Tuesday.
When Selma Blair was diagnosed in 2018, she said she had had symptoms for several years, perhaps as long as ten years.
– I fall occasionally. I’m losing things. My memory is hazy. And my left side asks for the direction from a broken GPS, she wrote on Instagram that time.
In the new documentary, she tries to keep her spirits up, but she does not succeed all the time. Like when she’s filmed in the hospital while getting chemotherapy.
– I was told to make plans to die. Not because I had MS, but because I was fighting the disease, says Selma Blair in the trailer.
