puma Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 A few days ago Blade Runner was on TV, with this talented and beautiful actress. I remember seeing her before in some older, eighties movies. Good actress, kind of film noir type, but played many diiferent kind of roles. A bio, taken from wikipedia: Sean Young (born November 20, 1959) is an American actress, best known for her performance in films from the 1980s such as Blade Runner, Dune, and No Way Out. [edit] Early lifeYoung was born as Mary Sean Young in Louisville, Kentucky, the daughter of Lee Guthrie, a screenwriter, public relations executive, and journalist, and Donald Young, a television news producer and journalist.[1] She attended Cleveland Heights High School in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, and then transferred to and graduated from Interlochen Arts Academy in Interlochen, Michigan.[2] She has also attended the School of American Ballet in New York.[3] Before becoming an actress, Young worked as a model and dancer.[3] [edit] Film career[edit] 1980sYoung began her film career in 1980 in the film Jane Austen in Manhattan, followed by a small role in the 1981 film Stripes, and played female lead opposite Harrison Ford in the futuristic classic Blade Runner (1982).[4] She had a small role in the film Wall Street as the wife of Michael Douglas's character. Her role was originally intended to be larger, but was significantly reduced due to clashes with Oliver Stone.[5][6] One of her most prominent roles was as the mistress of a ruthless Washington politician in 1987's No Way Out, playing opposite Kevin Costner. Other notable credits include Dune, Fatal Instinct, and Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend.[4] In 1988, Young appeared in The Boost with James Woods. Woods later sued her for harassing him and his then-fiancée, alleging that, in addition to other disruptive behavior, Young left a disfigured doll on his doorstep. 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 [Woods] did." The suit was settled out of court in 1989.[5] She was cast as Vicki Vale in Tim Burton's successful 1989 film Batman. During rehearsals, however, 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 was offered to Annette Bening but ultimately played by Michelle Pfeiffer after Bening became pregnant) in the sequel Batman Returns, Young constructed a homemade Catwoman costume and attempted to confront Burton and actor Michael Keaton during production.[5] [edit] 1990sYoung was cast as Tess Trueheart in the 1990 movie Dick Tracy, but she was 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.[5] In 1991, she was awarded the Worst Actress and the Worst Supporting Actress Razzies for her roles in A Kiss Before Dying.[7] She played a supporting role in the 1994 comedy Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. During most of the 1990s she resided in Sedona, Arizona, and her career cooled.[5] Sean Young reprised her role as Rachael in the 1997 Blade Runner video game. Her face was scanned and reproduced in 3D, one of the first times such technology was used in a game. [edit] 2000sSince 2000, Young has appeared in a variety of independent films and made guest appearances on television, including roles in Poor White Trash, Mockingbird Don't Sing, Sugar & Spice, Boston Public, and Reno 911![4] In 2005, she spent four months in Russia filming the miniseries Esenin, in which she played dancer Isadora Duncan.[8] She also had a small role on the CW's One Tree Hill in 2007. In late 2007, Young finished work on two films, The Man Who Came Back and Haunted Echoes. In 2008, Young competed in the television program Gone Country 2, which included a competition in a celebrity demolition derby at the Henry County Fairgrounds in Paris, Tennessee. Young went on to win the celebrity derby "heat" and then went on to go against professional demolition derby drivers. Young and 21 other drivers squared off in the area. Young finished in fourth place against the professional demolition derby drivers.[9] [edit] 2010sYoung appeared on The Young and the Restless in June 2010 as Canadian barmaid Meggie McClain, alongside good friend Eric Braeden.[10][11] She returned to the show on July 14 in a recurring role, which lasted through early November 2010.[12] In 2010, she was cast on the first season of the ABC show Skating with the Stars as a celebrity contestant who skated with professional skater Denis Petukhov.[13][14] She was the first celebrity to be eliminated.
