Sean Young, Still Crazy (And Drunk) After All These Years!
It’s award season and you know what that means? Crazy has-been, never-was actress Sean Young will be appearing drunk and disorderly at a theater near you. I like how when she’s asked about working with Harrison Ford, she says “Nah, he’s getting a bit old.” Yeah there’s that… and he’s still making hit films while you Sean Young, crazy Cat Woman wannabe, are getting younger and more elegant. You gotta love a crazy who can’t handle their “drank”.
Relatively speaking, this was a major improvement for Sean, who made a complete ass out of herself at last year’s Director’s Guild Awards when she drunkenly harassed director Julian Schnabel during his acceptance speech. Here’s what an observer had to say about the poor behavior (via Variety):
Being in the room was an odd experience to say the least. I’m sure you have heard by now the drama of the show….
An extremely drunk Sean Young heckled Julian Schnabel the moment he walked on stage to accept his medallion. She was quickly 86′d by security and tried to throw a punch at those ejecting her from the venue. She really ruined Julian’s moment and it was kind of sad. He looked into the audience and said “Who said that?” She blurted out something else unintelligible and then he said “Perhaps you’d like to finish my speech,” said “thank you very much” and started to step away from the podium. He came back, of course, but it seemed he was visibly pissed and upset by the interruption. Sort of sad, actually. It’s like you get this big moment where you’re one of the 5 directors honored in a year and then some drunk ass wipe in the audience ruins a lifetime moment for you.
I couldn’t find any video showing Sean being a butt, but here’s the video of Schnabel responding to her outburst:
Nothing like a sophisticated evening, complete with tuxes, classical piano, famous people and some mouthy broad who can’t keep her drunk in check. That little display forced Ms. Young into rehab, which these days has become more of a vacation than an attempt to address your addictions, as is witnessed in the recent video of Sean.
My favorite Sean Young film is Stripes, not really her film, but hey she was in it and it’s my favorite comedy. Sean claims all she needs is good luck, but what she really needs is to focus on drinking less and stifling her inner crazy. If Britney can do it, so can Sean.
