Recent Sean Young odd behavior
Thought this was interesting since she has had a higher profile lately with the renewed Blade Runner interest. Thought all of this was behind her and that she seemed rather normal in the BR interviews.

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Sean Young has entered rehabilitation for alcohol abuse following a weekend outburst in which she was heckling from the audience at the Directors Guild of America awards.
Sean Young has entered a rehab facility for treatment of alcoholism, her PR agency said.
The 48-year-old actress was escorted from the ballroom at the Hyatt Regency in Century City Saturday night after sparring with Julian Schnabel, who was nominated for "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly."
"Actress Sean Young voluntarily admitted herself yesterday to a rehabilitation center for treatment related to alcoholism," a statement from Insignia PR said 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, was a bit slow to start, looking down at the podium and running his hands through his wild, curly hair.
That's when Young could be heard throughout the room urging him to get on with it. Apparently rattled, Schnabel scanned the room and asked who said that, then spotted Young and suggested that she "have another cocktail."
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.
A call seeking comment from the Directors Guild was not immediately returned.
Joel and Ethan Coen were the winners for "No Country for Old Men."
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.
She also tried to crash the Vanity Fair Oscar party in 2006.
"It was degrading," she said in an Entertainment Weekly article last year. "But when you have nothing to lose, it's really not that big of a deal." E-mail to a friend

Maybe unlike the 2006 Oscar parties she was able to sneak her way in? Nothing worse than a completely irrelevant celeb making an ass of themselves to remind people why they're not relevant in the first place.
Anyone got a vid yet?

I remember something about James Woods having to get a restraining order so she would stay the fuck away from him(as he would put it). Saw him on some talk show talking about what a total nut case she was.

"It's too bad she won't live! But then again, who does?"
Really bizarre stuff, and she did look pretty composed during the Blade Runner junkets. But I guess things aren't always as they seem.

"Actress Sean Young has checked into a rehab facility in California just days after she was forcibly removed from the Directors Guild Of America Awards for her unruly behavior. The Blade Runner star was escorted from Saturday's event after heckling The Diving Bell and the Butterfly filmmaker Julian Schnabel as he attempted to make a speech from the stage. Reports suggested Young was inebriated at the ceremony. According to her publicist, Young, 48, checked into "an undisclosed" rehabilitation center on Monday in a bid to tackle alcohol issues. The representative says, "It is understood that Young has struggled against the disease for many years."

I understand she's a has-been (how did she get an invite?) and a nutjob, but I wouldn't recognize Julian Schnabel with his wild, curly hair and trademark yellow-tinted glasses if I ran him over with my car. And I've never heard of "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" before this article.
But I'd recognize Sean Young quick enough to get out of her way.
