Selma Blair is the latest actor to be cast in FX’s upcoming — and much anticipated — miniseries American Crime Story: The People V. OJ Simpson and will play none other than Kris Jenner.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Selma Blair will portray a younger version of Kris Jenner, who was divorced from OJ pal and attorney Robert Kardashian at the time of infamous OJ Simpson 1994 murder trial.
Robert Kardashian and Kris Jenner had four children — Kim, Khloé, Kourtney and Rob, better known as the stars of Keeping Up with the Kardashians on E!
Kris Jenner married Bruce Jenner just one month after divorcing Kardashian, who died from cancer in 2003.
