 Sean Young: Enters rehab for alcohol abuse
Sean Young, 48, has voluntarily entered rehab for alcohol abuse, according to a report.
The announcement comes on the heels of an outburst at Saturday night's Directors Guild Awards, which caused the actress to be escorted out of the event.
"Actress Sean Young voluntarily admitted herself yesterday to a rehabilitation center for treatment related to alcoholism," according to a source, reported on Tuesday. "It is understood that Young has struggled against the disease for many years."
At the DGAs, all of the film nominees get a chance to say a few words before the top prize is announced. Schnabel, in his trademark yellow-tinted glasses, seemed moved by the occasion and was a bit slow to start, looking down at the podium and running his hands through his wild, curly hair.
At Saturday's DGA awards, Young was heard throughout the ballroom heckling director Julian Schnabel during his speech as a nominee for "The Diving Bell" and the "Butterfly". When Schnabel realized that it was Sean Young heckling him, he suggested that she "have another cocktail". The actress was subsequently removed from the venue.
Then he suggested that she should finish his speech for him and started walking off the stage. Music began playing for his exit, but the audience urged him to stay and keep speaking, and he did. Young, meanwhile, was removed from the ballroom.
The guild said in a statement Tuesday: “The DGA wishes to respect Ms. Young’s privacy at this difficult time and declines further comment.”
Sean Young made her name in the 1980s with films like “Stripes”, “Blade Runner” and “No Way Out.” But she’s become more famous for some of her more bizarre behavior, including dressing up in a homemade cat suit in her quest to secure the role of Catwoman in the 1992 sequel “Batman Returns,” which went to Michelle Pfeiffer. |
