What's After the Movie
**Mary Sean Young**, born November 20, 1959, is an American actress recognized for her work in various genres, but she's mainly known for her roles in science fiction films. Early in her career, Young starred in Jane Austen in Manhattan (1980) and the commercially successful comedy, Stripes (1981). However, she got her breakout role as Rachael in the science fiction piece *Blade Runner* (1982). She then moved on to wield notable performances in films such as Dune (1984), No Way Out (1987), Wall Street (1987), Fatal Instinct (1993), and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994). Born in Louisville, Kentucky, she was the daughter of a television producer and a screenwriter. Before starting her acting journey, Young worked as a model and ballet dancer. Her early education was acquired at Cleveland Heights High School, followed by the Interlochen Arts Academy and the School of American Ballet. Young's career has seen a fair share of ups downs, with instances of being replaced in significant roles and legal issues. However, her persistence has seen her through as she continues to maintain her position in the industry. Despite the roadblocks in her career, Young proved her ability in roles across genres. This included dramatic parts in films like No Way Out (1987) and The Boost (1988), and comedic appearances in Fatal Instinct (1993) and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994). Young's personal life saw significant events as well, including marrying Robert Lujan twice and being a mother of two. She underwent rehabilitation for alcohol abuse in 2008 and again in 2011. Young became part of the many women to accuse producer Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment in 2017. Throughout her career, her work ranged from commercial films to independent projects, embodying her versatility and dedication to her craft. A compelling example of this was her returning for the role of Rachael in the Blade Runner 2049 (2017), thanks to digital technology and a body double. Despite all adversity, Young continues to hold her mark in Hollywood, with her career spanning multiple decades.
