Selma Blair is mourning the loss of her mother Molly Cooke.
In a touching tribute on Sunday announcing her mother's death, Blair, 47, wrote, "Molly Cooke died yesterday. In her home. She was formidable, funny, quick, striking and generous. She often gave the shirt off her back, a trait I have adopted."
"My mother was a brilliant judge and one of the only women in her law school class," Blair continued. "She was my first style icon, my muse, my prize."
The "Cruel Intentions" actress said her mother, who she described as her "first person," was loved by so many friends and family members throughout her life.
