Krátky popis
Selma Blair has played many archetypal roles: gullible ingenue in
Cruel Intentions. Preppy ice queen in Legally Blonde. Fire-starter
in Hellboy.Muse to Karl Lagerfeld. Face of Chanel. Cover
model.Advocate for the multiple sclerosis community. But before all
of that, Selma was known best for being one thing: a mean baby. In
a memoir that is as wildly funny as it is emotionally shattering,
Selma Blair tells the captivating story of growing up and finding
her truth.The first story Selma Blair Beitner ever heard about
herself is that she was a mean, mean baby. With her mouth pulled in
a perpetual snarl and a head so furry it had to be rubbed to make
way for her forehead, Selma spent years living up to her terrible
reputation: biting her sisters, lying spontaneously, getting drunk
from Passover wine at the age of seven, and behaving dramatically
so that she would be the center of attention. Although Selma went
on to become a celebrated Hollywood actress and model, she could
never quite shake the periods of darkness that overtook her, the
certainty that there was a great mystery at the heart of her
life.She often felt like her arms might be on fire, a sensation not
unlike electric shocks, and she secretly drank to escape. Over the
course of this beautiful and, at times, shocking memoir, Selma lays
bare her addiction to alcohol, her devotion to her brilliant and
complicated mother, and the moments she flirted with death. There
is brutal violence, passionate love, true friendship, the gift of
motherhood and, finally, the simultaneous devastation and
surprising salvation of a multiple sclerosis diagnosis.In a voice
that is powerfully original, fiercely intelligent, and full of
hard-won wisdom, Selma Blair's Mean Baby is a deeply human memoir
and a true literary achievement.
