Selma Blair has taken on many iconic roles, from a gullible ingenue in Cruel Intentions to a preppy ice queen in Legally Blonde, and has become a prominent advocate for the multiple sclerosis community. However, her early identity was defined by a different label: a mean baby. In this wildly funny yet emotionally profound memoir, Blair recounts her journey of self-discovery. The first story she heard about herself was that she was a mean baby, characterized by a snarl and a wild head of hair. She lived up to this reputation by biting her sisters, lying, and seeking attention through dramatic antics. Despite her success as an actress and model, she struggled with dark periods in her life, often feeling an unsettling sensation akin to electric shocks. To cope, she turned to alcohol. Throughout this candid memoir, she reveals her battles with addiction, her complex relationship with her mother, and brushes with death. The narrative encompasses themes of violence, love, friendship, motherhood, and the duality of devastation and salvation following her multiple sclerosis diagnosis. With a voice that is original and insightful, this memoir stands as a deeply human exploration of Blair's life and experiences.
