Selma Blair came out with a guide dog
51-year-old actress Selma Blair came to the premiere of the film “Diane von Furstenberg: The Woman in Charge” with her guide dog named Scout.
For the appearance, she chose a black tight-fitting asymmetrical dress and high-heeled shoes, put her hair in a “wet” style, kept her makeup discreet, and complemented her look with large earrings. The actress was accompanied by a guide dog. At some point, Scout got tired of posing and lay down next to his owner.
Selma Blair was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2018. In 2021, she got a dog that helps her get around. Selma Blair doesn't bring Scout to every event she attends, but says being a guide dog allows her more freedom and independence. In an interview with People magazine, the actress said that Scout helps her through muscle spasms: “When it becomes difficult for me to move and I need to readjust myself, he can stand between my legs, help me get up and keep my balance.”
In 2021, Selma Blair presented a documentary about her illness called Introducing, Selma Blair, directed by Rachel Fleit. The film explores how the actress responded to the news of the diagnosis, how she came to remission and the physical and emotional challenges she experiences due to the disease.
