Selma Blair Speaks About Importance of Inclusivity in Hollywood During THR's Power 100 Women in Entertainment Gala

Selma Blair hits the red carpet ahead of being honored at The Hollywood Reporter 2021 Power 100 Women in Entertainment event held at Fairmont Century Plaza on Wednesday afternoon (December 8) in Los Angeles.

The 49-year-old actress and storyteller was honored with Equity in Entertainment award, which was presented by Michelle Pfeiffer (in Celine).

“By creating more inclusive content, by telling stories that more authentically represent and include all of us, by being allies in our workspace by setting the bar higher for accessibility standards, by living and working in the intersectionality of our collective human experience, we become worthy of the enormous access and influence we have,” she shared on stage about the importance of visibility in Hollywood.
