Why Selma Blair never asks, “Why me?”

Before Selma Blair was an actor, an advocate or a writer, she was known as, “Mean Baby” – a nickname lovingly given to her by her parents. Although that comes off innocent enough, how does that kind of nickname impact your sense of self? So, she might’ve started out as "Mean Baby," but Selma’s somebody you likely know from movies like Cruel Intentions, Legally Blonde and Hellboy. She’s also gotten a lot of attention recently for opening up about her diagnosis with MS and her struggles with alcoholism. So what happens when you feel like your life is predetermined for you? Why can hitting rock bottom actually be kind of freeing? And what do you do when your doctor tells you to hide your diagnosis of MS for your career? Selma tells Tom about all this and more.
