Mary Sean Young (born in Louisville, Kentucky on November 20, 1959) is an American actress.

Young is divorced from Robert Lujan and is the mother of two sons, Rio (born in 1994) and Quinn (born in 1998).

Career

Young was born in Louisville, Kentucky to Donald Young and Lee Guthrie. A model and trained dancer, she began her film career in 1980 in the film Jane Austen in Manhattan, followed by a small role in the 1981 film Stripes, and a substantial part in the cult favorite Blade Runner (1982). (Young also screen-tested for the role of Marion Ravenwood in the film Raiders of the Lost Ark, but lost the part to Karen Allen.)

One of her biggest roles was in No Way Out, playing opposite Kevin Costner. Other notable credits include Dune, Wall Street, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend.

In recent years, Young has been busy with a variety of independent films and guest appearances on television. Most recently, she spent four months in Russia filming a miniseries in which she plays dancer Isadora Duncan. Young also starred in Poor White Trash, playing morally bankrupt Linda Bronco. Poor White Trash was written by Michael Addis and Tony Urban, and it was named one of the top 10 overlooked films of 2001 by Reel.com.

Controversy

Young has a history of being in the center of controversy in the media.

* In 1984, she filed a restraining order against Joey DeStefano. She alleged that DeStefano was stalking her after their relationship ended.
* In 1989, actor James Woods, who co-starred with Young in the movie The Boost, filed a harassment suit against her claiming she repeatedly threatened and stalked him after their relationship ended. Although Woods dropped his suit and later recanted all of his allegations against Young, the negative publicity hurt her career.
* She was initially cast as Vicki Vale in Batman, but was forced to withdraw due to an injury. Young hurt her wrist while riding horseback in preparation for a scene which was ultimately written out of the script, and the role went to Kim Basinger.
* Young then subsequently set her sights on the role of Catwoman for the 1992 sequel Batman Returns. In a now fabled incident, Young arrived at the Warner Brothers studio in a homemade Catwoman costume to confront the makers of the movie (namely director Tim Burton and actor Michael Keaton). She used other people scouting the studio grounds, using walkie-talkies to communicate, to track down the producers. After pregnancy forced Burton's original choice, Annette Bening, to bow out, Michelle Pfeiffer was hired. Young then appeared in her Catwoman costume to denounce Burton on The Joan Rivers Show.
* More recently, Young was slated to appear in a starring role on the MyNetwork TV telenovela Art of Betrayal. However, media reports surfaced with allegations that Young was difficult and demanding during filming of promotional spots for the show. In July 2006, it was announced that Young's role would be played instead by Tatum O'Neal.

Trivia

* "The Sean Young List" is a term coined on The Larry Sanders Show. In Episode 52 ("The Bump"), David Duchovny's first appearance on the Sanders show had just been terminated early. During the break, he rants about it to Sanders (Garry Shandling) and producer Artie, while simultaneously asking if he can come back for another appearance. Sanders turns to Artie and whispers "put him on the Sean Young list".
