"She often gave the shirt off her back, a trait I have adopted. Gifts of herself," Blair, 47, wrote. The actor also shared a black-and-white throwback of her mother from her wedding day. "My mother was a brilliant judge and one of the only women in her law school class. She was my first style icon, my muse, my prize. My whole life, I kept my eye on the prize. And it is a very queer feeling to soften my gaze," she said of Cooke, who was loved by friends and family alike.

"Because we want to say you were an original. A great. I love you mother. I hold you from here. Go with god. Oceans of love. Baby bear, the original saintly," Blair added. The actor is the youngest of four daughters of Cooke and attorney Elliot I Beitner, who passed away in 2012. Blair's parents divorced when she was 23.
