After a devastating diagnosis, the actress is hanging on to hope

Behind the smiles, actress Selma Blair has been leading a life of sorrow, troubled for years by a mysterious health condition. Now, the 46-yearold finally has some answers, having been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

Stoically, the star of Cruel Intentions has vowed to stay strong since discovering in August that she has the autoimmune disease, which affects the central nervous system. And the inspiration behind her fight to stay healthy is her beloved seven-year-old son Arthur.
