Actress Selma Blair has resigned herself to a career of supporting roles, because she says that she doesn’t have “the face” of a leading lady. She admits that her physical attributes fail to meet Hollywood’s high standards, insisting that she would have fared better in the less discriminatory European film industry.

She says, “Maybe in Europe, I’d be like Samantha Morton or Charlotte Gainsbourg, but I didn’t choose my quirky career - it chose me.”

She added, “I don’t have the face to constantly radiate leading lady energy. There is only one Reese Witherspoon. There is only one Julia Roberts. “I don’t fit that mold. And you know what else? I don’t want to.”
