Sean Young To Rehab After DGA Outburst

(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.

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."

You don''t want to be an actress on the other side of 40 in Hollywood. Not a fun place to be. Can drive you nuts. You career has a tendency to dry up. Your phone doesn''t ring like it used to when you were in your 20''s. Unless you''re Meryl Streep.

Sean Young was pretty bodacious in her day. Too bad, pretty women have to get old.

By the way, if you haven''t already seen it, see "Blade Runner." Great movie. Harrison Ford.

Who the heck is Sean Yound? Related to Henny Youngman by any chance? Her career, such as it was, has been over for a long time - who cares what she says or does?

Schnable''s behaviour wasn''t much better than Young''s. A normal person would have ignored her instead of acting like a spoiled child and walking off the stage.

Let''s blame her mother, Britney is headed down the same road. Sean could dance like no one else. It is too bad.
