10 Actors Whose Craziness Got Them Kicked Out Of Hollywood
4. Sean Young
Sean Young could have been big - unfortunately, though, she is forever destined to be known as "Rachel from Blade Runner," on account that she never soared any higher. Yes, Sean Young started out well, scoring roles in Oliver Stone's Wall Street and Ridley Scott's sci-fi classic Blade Runner. But even those projects were littered with problems: on the first, Young clashed with everyone on set in an attempt to win Daryl Hannah's role, to the point where Charlie Sheen was forced to tape a sign reading "I'm a c*nt" to her back. In the latter, she continually clashed with Harrison Ford, who thought she was a bit nuts. Then there's the weird stuff that went down on the set of Tim Burton's Batman, in which Sean Young - originally cast as Catwoman - found herself replaced by Kim Basinger after she fell off a horse and was injured. But Young wanted her role back, and plagued the set of the movie in an attempt to do just that, harassing Tim Burton in the process. All this bad behaviour meant that nobody wanted to work with Young any longer, and soon enough the roles began to drop off. Still, she hasn't disappeared from view entirely: the actress turns up now and again, usually drunk, to remind everyone that, yep, she's still insane, and nope, nobody wants to work with her.
