Mary Sean Young (b. November 20, 1959 in
Louisville, Kentucky) is an United States of
America|American actor|actress, often remembered
as much for her off-screen actions as for her
on-screen acting. 

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 (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. 

Other credits include  Dune (movie)|Dune, Wall
Street, No Way Out (1987 movie)|No Way Out, and
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.  

==Bizarre behavior?==

Young first created controversy in 1989 after
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 a terminated affair.  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
(1989 movie)|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 ultimately went to Kim Basinger.  Still
smarting over losing the part of the female lead
in the 1989 blockbuster, Young then set her sights
on the role of Catwoman for the 1992 sequel Batman
Returns, and 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.

The topper was when Young went as far as appearing
in her Catwoman costume to denounce Tim Burton on
The Joan Rivers Show.  After pregnancy forced
Burton's original choice Annette Benning to
bow-out, Michelle Pfeiffer was hired.

==Later career==

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 jazz dancer Isadora Duncan.  She is divorced
and the mother of two sons.
