Is there a bigger celebrity train wreck than Sean Young?


Off the high of Blade Runner, she developed an ego. Oliver Stone cut most of her scenes in Wall Street because he said she was unbearable. She was replaced by Kim Basinger in Batman, decided she deserved to be Catwoman over Michelle Pfeiffer, and dressed up in a Catwoman costume on national TV to try to win over the role. Warren Beatty fired her from Dick Tracy and then she disappeared. She had to play a man in Ace Ventura.

She finally got a "career resurgence" in a guest role from The Young and the Restless, until Eric Braeden said she was terrible. This gave her a shot on Skating with the Stars! She went on David Letterman to beg for work, too.

In 2018, she got caught on video stealing two laptops....

I had heard she had some problems but I didn't know it was that bad. It seems like after getting kicked off a couple of major films she'd realize she has to get her shit together.

What's the deal with her stealing laptops?

She was great in Blade Runner because she was a replicant, devoid of human emotion. Much like her acting abilities. I am not at all surprised after seeing her in her few other roles.

Sad but she brought it on herself.

Always wondered what happened to her. Now I know. Hard to believe someone with so little talent could develop such an ego.

reply

I always pictured her like her character in Ace Ventura - just screaming and yelling at people on movie sets like her character yells at Carey's.

She would have made a great Catwoman. She certainly looked the part much more than Michelle Pfeiffer did.

reply

Totally agree.

I had no idea all of this happened.

She sounds like a nutcase.

Private life, I think Britney Spears would be a solid contender (although professionally/financially Spears has been far more successful).
