Lea acerca de Selma Blair en Espa?ol

In the town of Southfield, Michigan, Enough Beitner was born June 23, 1972. Blair decided to take a big step and move to New York City to pursue a career in photography, after receiving a combined degree in Fine Arts and English from Michigan University. But once in the Big Apple, she realized that her future did not lie behind the camera, but in front of it.

At the Stella Adler Conservatory in New York City, Blair honed her raw skills and was soon discovered in one of her acting classes by an agent. She earned her Screen Actor's Guild card one week later, after doing a television commercial for the Theater of Virginia. Her official acting debut was on the TV series The Adventures of Pete and Pete in 1993, which was followed by spot roles in Soldier of Fortune, Inc. and Promised Land.

Proof of proper tutelage, Blair realized that being a successful actress does not only mean roles in box-office hits. She starred in movies that flew under the radar upon release but went on to become great video rentals. It was the praise from these films, namely Girl, Brown's Requiem and Strong Island Boys, which helped get her name out among filmmakers' circles.

Blair's career began to snowball and it took a great performance in Cruel Intentions to push herself over the edge. Contacts were made and the phone was ringing off the hook after the success of the film, for which Blair received a "Best Kiss" award from the MTV Movie Awards and a nomination for Best Breakthrough Performance for her role as Cecile Caldwell. The Warner Brothers network also grabbed her for the title role in the 1999 sitcom Zoe (formerly Zoe, Duncan, Jack & Jane), which met its fate in 2000.

Apparently, Blair did not stir enough controversy with Cruel Intentions, because in 2001 she stripped down to nothing in Storytelling to get it on with her college professor.

Roles in hits like Legally Blonde and The Sweetest Thing followed, and her success is obviously still going strong with the upcoming A Guy Thing and Dallas and Rusty. Although having claimed that it was tough to find a guy who was more than just a handsome face in her business, Blair is romantically linked to Jason Schwartzmanof Rushmore fame. With a man and a strong hold on her career, we vow to pay close attention to Enough's career and warn you of any more upcoming nude roles in independent films... or any kind of film for that matter.
