Sean Young is calling out big name directors and getting candid about the toxic environments that she worked with during her early career.
In an interview with The Daily Beast, the now 61-year-old actress, who you might recognize from Ace Ventura, and the original movies of Blade Runner and Dune, is opening up about how her career was derailed due to some directors not knowing how to approach her straight forwardness.
In the middle of her emerging career, Sean was labeled as “difficult,” and was soon blacklisted from major movies following difficult working situations with her male co-stars and directors.
While Sean says she always felt that she was down-to-earth and straightforward with other people, she now realizes that she might have been perceived as “offensive.”
“That was not my intention,” she shared. “I only got offensive later because I started getting pissed off, like, ‘This is serious. This is my career. You don’t just blacklist me.’ It’s terrible.”
Sean recalled one situation with James Woods after they starred in The Boost together.
Following the premiere, he had filed a harassment lawsuit against her, and at the time didn’t know the reason behind it. Sean ended up winning that suit.
“I couldn’t wrap my head around it,” Sean said. “It was so nutty and stupid, and a waste not only of my time but not good for himself. Why take all the attention off this movie and put it on this?”
