Sean Young Biography 

Mary Sean Young was born on November 20, 1959 in Louisville, Kentucky to Donald Young and Lee Guthrie. She graduated from Cleveland Heights High School in Cleveland Heights, Ohio and then graduated from Interlochen Arts Academy in Interlochen, Michigan and the School of American Ballet in New York. Before becoming an actress, Young worked as a model and dancer.

Young 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 futuristic classic Blade Runner (1982). She had a small role in the film Wall Street as the wife of Michael Douglas' character. Her role was originally intended to be larger, but was significantly reduced due to clashes with Oliver Stone.

One of her biggest roles was in No Way Out, playing opposite Kevin Costner. Other notable credits include Dune, Fatal Instinct, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend.In 1988, Young appeared in The Boost with James Woods. Woods later sued her for harassing both him and his then-fiancee, alleging that Young left a disfigured doll on his doorstep in addition to other disruptive behavior. 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.

In 1989, she was cast as Vicki Vale in Tim Burton's Batman. During rehearsals, 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 ultimately went to Michelle Pfeiffer) in the sequel Batman Returns, Young made a homemade Catwoman costume and attempted to confront director Tim Burton and actor Michael Keaton during production.
