Best known for her roles in movies in such [[TheEighties '80s]] films as ''Film/BladeRunner'' and ''Film/NoWayOut'', Young has also gained notoriety for some of her bizarre offscreen antics, such as being sued by Creator/JamesWoods for sexual harassment -- although Woods later recanted the charges, blaming his then-wife for a misunderstanding -- and for trying to land the role of ComicBook/{{Catwoman}} in ''Film/BatmanReturns'' by wearing a homemade costume to impress the makers of the film. She has since appeared in many reality TV shows recently including on ''Series/CelebrityRehab'' for her treatment for alcohol addiction.

Young married actor Robert Lujan in 1990; the couple divorced in 2002, but remarried in 2011. They have two sons.

Mary Sean Young (born November 20, 1959 in Louisville, Kentucky) is an American actress best known for her role as the [[ArtificialHuman "replicant"]] Rachael in ''Film/BladeRunner''.

Sean Young is sort of the female Creator/GaryBusey: a real wild card. Gary is lampooned more often. (Ginormous teeth, weird acronyms, a propensity for calling people "butt-horns".) But make no mistake: Like Busey, she's an underrated talent and more than a little loco. She's as famous for heckling people at award shows and storming the Creator/WarnerBrothers backlot in a homemade ComicBook/{{Catwoman}} costume as much as her acting. Things started going south when she was fired from ''Film/WallStreet'' after disagreements with [[Creator/OliverStone the director]] and her co-stars, and was later sued by Creator/JamesWoods for harassment (although Woods recanted the charges). Watching her early stuff, it's easy to see she could have been a huge success.

Sadly, she self-medicated with alcohol and was never able to regain her footing. She's still acting, though, even if they're small TV and B-film roles. She's pretty active on the Internet. She has her own {{Website/YouTube}} channel with some interesting stuff on it. Her "home videos" from the ''Dune'' production are definitely the highlight.

How did they hire that good for nothing Creator/AnneHathaway when they could have had Sean?! Idiots!
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Tested for ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'' back when Creator/TomSelleck was planned to be the lead.
** She accused Creator/WarrenBeatty of hitting on her and was removed from the ''Film/DickTracy'' movie.
** She still had enough currency to win the coveted role of Vicki Vale in Tim Burton’s ''Film/Batman1989''. A week before the shoot, rehearsing a scene on horseback, she fell and broke her shoulder. The part was taken by Creator/KimBasinger. In the end, the riding scene was never filmed.
