| BIOGRAPHY
Tall, slender, and graceful brunette actress Sean Young has
had a busy film career, but has yet to make it past mid-range
stardom. This may be partially due to some of the negative publicity
generated through her personal life. Before coming to Hollywood
in 1980 to perform in Jane Austen in Manhattan, Young had been
a New York model and a dancer. Fans of the sci-fi epic Blade Runner
(1982) remember Young for playing the sympathetic "replicant"
Rachael.
Although she appeared in several major features by 1987, Young
didn't get much notice as a potential star until after she co-starred
with Kevin Costner in the thriller No Way Out (1987). Her love
scenes with Costner generated considerable heat on and off the
screen. In 1989, Young made entertainment news when her former
co-star from The Boost (1988), James Woods, filed a harassment
suit against her claiming that she had repeatedly threatened him
after their affair soured. Young retaliated by hitting the talk
show circuit to deny the claims, all the while continuing her
acting career.
That year, she was scheduled to play Vicki Vale in Tim Burton's
Batman, but broke her collarbone during a riding scene with Michael
Keaton and was replaced by Kim Basinger, something she publicly
disputed with Burton. Through the '90s, Young continued to appear
regularly onscreen. |
