Actress Selma Blair, age 43, doesn’t mind that she had a child in her late thirties or that she’s a single mom. In fact, she’s grateful for the experience. According to Blair, her son Arthur has a touch of her sarcastic wit. At first, she laughed at his antics but now she has taken a more disciplined approach. Blair claims to love the single parenting experience. She relishes the early morning games of Candy Land and the abundance of one-on-one time she spends with her son.
