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.
