SELMA BLAIR (Vivian Kensington) is best known for her starring role in Cruel Intentions, a youthful retelling of the classic novel "Les Liaisons Dangereuses." Her sly performance as the shy, bumbling Cecile earned her rave reviews, an MTV Movie Award for Best Kiss with Sarah Michelle Gellar, and an MTV Movie Award nomination for Best Breakthrough Performance. She also won the Movieline Magazine Award for Most Exciting New Face.
A native of Southfield, Michigan, Selma once dreamed of becoming a photographer. After graduating from high school she moved to New York City to pursue her goal, but found her way to acting classes at the Stella Adler Conservatory and the Column Theatre. She was discovered by an agent in her acting class, and one week later she got her SAG card doing a television commercial for Theater of Virginia.
Selma starred for two seasons as the title character in the WB's Zoe, and she'll be seen in the upcoming film High Way opposite Jared Leto. She'll next be seen starring in Storytelling, the new film from director Todd Solondz (Welcome to the Dollho use, Happiness). She is currently in production on The Sweetest Thing starring opposite Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate for her Cruel Intentions director, Roger Kumble.
