The Path with Becky Quick: Joy in Visibility: Selma Blair’s MS Journey 4/27/26

It took years for actress Selma Blair to find the role of a lifetime – and joy – in a shocking diagnosis. Discovering in her 40s that decades of health concerns and misunderstandings were the result of multiple sclerosis, Blair transformed her diagnosis into action. Around 1 million Americans are known to have the auto-immune disease MS, which can impact the brain and spinal cord, as well as the body’s ability to communicate.

The “Legally Blonde” and “Cruel Intentions” actress is an advocate for fellow MS patients and she is speaking up for anyone traveling the difficult path of finding medical answers, care and possible treatment. In this episode of "The Path," Selma Blair takes CNBCs Becky Quick into her inspiring and empathetic journey of self-acceptance.
