        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Selma Blair posted a loving tribute to her late mother, Molly Cooke, who died at home in Michigan over the weekend at age 82.</p><p>Describing Cooke as &#8220;formidable, funny, quick, striking and generous,&#8221; Blair wrote about her mom&#8217;s unselfish attitude and her career as a judge.</p><p>&#8220;She often gave the shirt off her back, a trait I have adopted. Gifts of herself. My mother was a brilliant judge and one of the only women [sic] in her law school class,&#8221; Blair wrote alongside an old photo of Cooke on her wedding day.</p><p>&#8220;She was my first style icon, my muse, my prize. My whole life, I kept my eye on the prize. And, now, it is a very queer feeling to soften my gaze.&#8221;</p><p>The &#8220;Cruel Intentions&#8221; star, 47, said her mom had &#8220;many friends and admirers&#8221; and an expansive family, including Blair&#8217;s son, Arthur.</p><p>&#8220;Our lives will never be the same. Mom, Arthur understood you so sweetly and I am grateful and pleased you loved him,&#8221; Blair, <strong>who is battling multiple sclerosis</strong>, continued.</p><p>&#8220;Thank you for your love, your loyalty. Usually, it is when us girls are Together as sisters, when we can better show what an original you were, Mom. A great.&#8221;</p><p>Cooke graduated from the University of Detroit-Mercy School of Law and worked as a lawyer for more than 50 years, <strong>according to her obituary</strong>. She served as a Workers’ Compensation Magistrate and was a member of the Workers’ Compensation Hall of Fame. Cooke also received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Polish American Legal Society for her 32 years of outstanding public service.</p><p>Blair&#8217;s sister Katherine also honored their late mother on Instagram, <strong>writing</strong>, &#8220;The most beautiful girl in the world&#8230;At least to us she was. &#8230; She was the incredibly witty and stylish mother of four girls whom she loved more than anything. We will miss her beyond measure.&#8221;</p>]]></content:encoded>
