Sean Young (born on November 20, 1959) is an American actress.
Mary Sean Young was born in Louisville, Kentucky to Donald Young and Lee Guthrie. She graduated from Interlochen Arts Academy in Interlochen, MI and the School of American Ballet in New York. Before becoming an actress, Young worked as a model and dancer.
In 1990, Young married Robert Lujan, with whom she has two children.The couple divorced in 2002.
On January 26, 2008, Young was removed from the Directors Guild of America awards ceremony in Los Angeles after heckling director Julian Schnabel during his acceptance speech. The following day she entered a drug rehabilitation program for alcohol abuse treatment.
Young began her film career in 1980 in the film Jane Austen in Manhattan, followed by a small role in the 1981 film Stripes, and a substantial part in the futuristic classic Blade Runner (1982). She had a small role in the film Wall Street as the wife of Michael Douglas' character. Her role was originally intended to be larger, but was significantly reduced due to clashes with Oliver Stone.
One of her biggest roles was in No Way Out, playing opposite Kevin Costner. Other notable credits include Dune, Fatal Instinct, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend.[9]In 1988, Young appeared in The Boost with James Woods. Wood later sued her for harassing both him and his then-fiancée, alleging that Young left a disfigured doll on his doorstep in addition to other disruptive behavior. Young denied the allegations and claimed that Woods filed the lawsuit out of spite. Young stated, "It was a crush being turned down, that's all.... So sue me! And he did." The suit was settled out of court in 1989.
In 1989, she was cast as Vicki Vale in Tim Burton's Batman. During rehearsals, she broke her arm after falling off a horse and was replaced by Kim Basinger. In an unsuccessful attempt to win the role as Catwoman (which ultimately went to Michelle Pfeiffer) in the sequel Batman Returns, Young made a homemade Catwoman costume and attempted to confront director Tim Burton and actor Michael Keaton during production.
Young was fired from the 1990 movie Dick Tracy. Cast as Tess Trueheart, she was officially fired for not appearing maternal in the role. Young later claimed she was fired because she rebuffed Warren Beatty's advances (a claim Beatty denies).
During much of 1990s she resided in Sedona, Arizona, and her career cooled.
Since 2000, Young has been busy with a variety of independent films and guest appearances on television including roles in Poor White Trash, Sugar & Spice, Boston Public, Reno 911!. In 2005, she spent four months in Russia filming the miniseries Esenin, in which she played dancer Isadora Duncan.
In late 2007, Young finished work on two films, The Man Who Came Back and Darkness Visible. She is currently in talks to appear in the film Harvest Moon.
