The discreet charm of Sean Young
We spent this morning talking about how totally amazing actress Sean Young is after I stumbled across some candid photos she had posted to her website from the set of Blade Runner. (io9)
The fact that this could easily be a photo of my fiancée does not elude me…
Kate pointed out to me that the movie that got her into cryptozoology as a child was actually one that starred Ms Young (as a mokele-mbembe protecting paleontologist, no less). We both lamented the fact that a broken arm kept her out of Batman and her insane antics – while endearing – kept her down in Hollywood. I’m reminded of a recent Entertainment Weekly piece on her unfailing belief in an imminent comeback. Regardless of whether she gets another break into stardom, she’ll always have played some crush-worthy sci-fi characters and is an icon to this household.
