History Creator / SeanYoung

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. She's {{statuesque|stunner}} in the way the supermodels of UsefulNotes/TheNineties were, and was sort of an exotic-looking beauty (i.e. not blonde with huge tits) in her prime.

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 is definitely the highlight.

* ''Film/BladeRunner2049'' (2017), reprising her role as Rachael

* CreatorBreakdown: Blackballed at just thirty years old. She had some well-publicized drug and alcohol issues; unfortunately, alcoholics have a tendency to get belligerent. The absence of credit to Sean Young and Creator/DarylHannah leading up to the release of ''2049'' was really noticeable. She has since appeared in several reality TV shows related to her alcoholism, including ''Celebrity Rehab''.
* DigitalDeaging: She said publicly that fans should boycott ''2049'' if she's not in it. More than a little reminiscent of Creator/JackNicholson complaining that he wasn't asked to do ''Film/TheDarkKnight'' instead of Creator/HeathLedger. But she got paid so she can't trash the film. She was an advisor to the actress who reprised her role as Rachael. At least they did a better job with her than with Creator/CarrieFisher in ''Film/RogueOne''.

** Creator/HarrisonFord has a very low bullshit tolerance. (If you watch the outtakes of the love scene in the ''Dangerous Days'' documentary, then the look of distaste Harrison gives Sean as he turns away from a cut is obvious.) Creator/RidleyScott is a very demanding director. And Young was not approaching the role "professionally" i.e. she was inexperienced, flighty, and kept breaking character and ruining scenes. All of which added up to a very tired, taxed crew working for a taskmaster (Scott) and making the already-harsh working conditions even more miserable. After the cast and crew's experiences came to light post-''Blade Runner'', she was blacklisted by a large segment of the industry. Looks like Ford has made up with her over the years, though; here they are arm in arm in 2011 at a [[https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/actress-sean-young-and-actor-harrison-ford-attend-the-50th-news-photo/126371097 gala.]]
** Sounds like she pissed a lot of people off, including [[Creator/TheWeinsteinCompany Harvey "Watch Me Shower, I'll Make You A Star" Weinstein.]] Young's claims that some people got handsy and she rejected their advances fit with some of the stuff we've been hearing about with other actresses. Similarly, we [[Creator/AmberTamblyn know a bit more about]] James Woods than we did before. Woods later admitted he made up a bunch of absurd stories to get back at Young and appease his girlfriend. This incident had a long-lasting negative impact on her career.
* LeslieNielsenSyndrome: She is really disgraced former NFL kicker Ray Finkle disguised as a woman. "Your gun is digging into my hip." Yeah, her career might have gone south a bit.

* JustForFun/OneOfUs: Sean Young [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyUx73RJ51o dressed up as Catwoman]] on Joan Rivers' talk show and tore Creator/TimBurton a new one. If she walked into Warner Bros. half-cocked, then it's understandable why industry people saw her as completely unpredictable. The incident was parodied in a ''WesternAnimation/TinyToons'' episode, "The Return of Batduck".

** 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 Kim Basinger. In the end, the riding scene was never filmed.
