LifetimeAchievement

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT

Selma Blair is the recipient of the 2025 Cinehealth Lifetime Achievement Award 

 

The Cinehealth Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes individuals or groups who have made significant and sustained contributions to the development and/or dissemination of audio or video content which educates and inspires patients and HCPs.  

 

This year’s honoree, Selma Blair, has made an indelible impact across film, television, fashion, and activism. Known for her memorable performances in Cruel Intentions, Legally Blonde, The Sweetest Thing, and Hellboy, Blair has also become a powerful voice for disability awareness.

​

In 2018, she courageously shared her diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, chronicling her journey in the award-winning documentary Introducing, Selma Blair. Her bestselling memoir, Mean Baby, received widespread critical acclaim. Blair has also raised awareness for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a connective tissue disorder that causes chronic pain, further expanding her advocacy for those living with invisible illnesses.

​

Through her openness, resilience, and unwavering advocacy, Blair has normalized conversations around chronic illness and inspired countless individuals to take ownership of their health and embrace their inner strength.
