I Love Sean Young


Sean Young is without a doubt the craziest actress who has ever managed to keep finding work in LA. From the time she broke her arm and got kicked off Batman, she has been in a downward spiral. She has ruined her own career so many times that I keep expecting her to just start showing up on reality television. Instead, she calls a friend of a friend and through sheer stalking manages to get another role and another chance at redemption. Alternating between great performances and Razzie performances, the only thing you could ever count on from Sean Young is that she was going to piss off a bunch of people and get drunk.

Saturday night she managed to do both and also piss off every director she has somehow overlooked pissing off over the past 30 years. Julian Schnabel was being honored, and had just started to give his speech when that familiar, loud, cackling voice came out of nowhere. As soon as he started talking, Sean Young started heckling. Security grabbed her and she started throwing punches at them. She kept shouting things as she was escorted from the building, and Julian had to start back at the beginning of his speech and so gave himself an extra five minutes for the distraction. Directors talk forever when given awards in front of their peers.

If Sean Young was anyone else this would have been all over everything. Instead there are literally 75 articles about whether Angelina Jolie is pregnant. Who cares if she is? You have nine months to talk about it and speculate and even wonder if Brad Pitt is the father. Sure Sean Young is not a household name, but a drunken fight at the DGA's, is to me a hell of a lot more exciting than whether Angelina is breeding again.

Awesome. I hope someone has film of this. I admire a person who thoroughly embraces their crazy.

Jolara said...

Yeah! I agree.

How keeyoot, she wore her bathrobe to the awards show.

I read about this on another site and I thought it was hilarious. The weird thing is that for whatever reason Sean Young (and maybe Sharon Stone) seem to get away with this kind of stuff because I think most people are just a little bit afraid of these two psychos.

I can remember years and years ago watching an awards show and Paul Lynde was drunk and kept heckling every person who came to the stage. Too bad for Sean that Hollywood Squares is no longer being filmed. She'd make a hilarious center square.

Maybe Brad and Angie can adopt Sean and let her play with all her decapitated Barbies.

I would love to watch an awards show where Paul Lynde was drunk and heckling. RIP

I would like to see a clipping of this. Wonder if UTube already has one LOL.

I read that she told him to "get on with it" during his speech and he told her "have another drink, honey". LOLOLOLOL. Great comeback. To see her dragged out of there kicking and screaming would be worth the price of admission.

She's awesome! I loved her in Blade Runner...

I read somewhere that she did something crazy when she was applying for the part of catwoman. Can't remember how the story goes.

califblondy said...

I read something about Catwoman too. I think she came up with her own suit and audition? I'm sure somebody here remembers the details.

Leah said...

I love that she brings the crazy, and keeps getting into all these events and auditions. How cool is that?

YahMoBThere said...

Califblondy, she came to the audition in a homemade catwoman costume and she kept licking herself. And don't forget when James Woods dumped her ass, she kept mailing pictures of dead animals to him.

Man, when Woods says someone is crazy they must be certifiable.

Lux Luthor said...

LOL. That is AWESOME.

And I agree, this is MUCH more interesting than speculating whether compulsive breeder Angelina is pregnant.

jax said...

if Angie is pregnant how in the world is she going to find time to ignore twins AND ignore Shiloh?

a true inspiration.

YahMoBThere said...

I hear ignoring three is just as easy as ignoring one. It's ignoring two that would be a challenge.

Anonymous said...

Indeed, twisted, look how hard it is on Brit to ignore HER two.

Majik said...

I remember seeing Sean Young on Letterman/Carson when that whole Batman thing was going on--I'm positive she appeared in the homemade costume....

Cuckoo.

Why is she even invited to these things?

Reverse those two lines and I think you've answered your own question. ;)

Sean was replaced by Michelle Phifer, and Sean went ballistic. She did a talk show in a cat suit, insulted and threatened the producers on air.

Second, she stormed the producer's or director's office in her cat suit, demanding a new audition.

James Woods is just as crazy as Sean. In court, it was proven that he sent himself many of those pictures, and staged evidence of Sean's stalking, to satisfy his fiance at the time that he never had an affair with Sean (he had) and Sean was just crazy. Sean was stalking him, leaving weird messages, but not leaving the mutilated dolls on his doorstep. Woods did that himself.

I knew Sean, years ago. Ashley Judd and I have mutual friends. It's been interesting to see how Hollywood has fed the craziest aspects of both of them.
