Selma Blair revealed what it's like playing Kris Jenner in the upcoming anthology series "American Crime Story: The People vs O.J. Simpson."
"I happen to love Kris Jenner," the actress told Us Weekly. "I found her to be endearing and extremely intelligent and warm and generous. I don't have enough good things to say about her."
"I thought she was wonderful. I don't think I knew just how amazingly likeable she is and how giving," she added. During the "Legally Blonde" actress's lovefest, she also called her TV inspiration "endearing," "extremely intelligent," "warm" and "generous," Wetpaint informed.
The "American Crime Story: The People vs. O.J. Simpson" focuses on the 1995 murder trial of the former NFL star.

"People do say I look like Kris," Blair told the media outlet at an event for the Children's Justice Campaign on May 12, when she and the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star met on the red carpet for the first time. "You kind of have to get in her mindset from like 20 years ago with this trial."
