I ALWAYS eat well at my favorite French restaurant, Veau d’Or And often I see and meet interesting people. Last Thursday was no exception. As I finished my meal, a familiar-looking woman approached me. “Hello, Liz, I’m Sean Young.” We chatted a bit, pleasantly, and she departed with a friend. I admit I was so startled that I didn’t put on my columnist hat to ask her what she’s up to now? Sean was a really hot name back in the 1980s/90s appearing in films like “Blade Runner”… ”Dune” ... ”No Way Out” (remember the scene in the car with Kevin Costner?) ... ”Stripes” ... ”Ace Ventura, Pet Detective” ... ”A Kiss Before Dying,” and others. Some of these are real classics. Still, she had issues. A turbulent relationship with James Woods went awry, and later there were matters of not being cast in several films. It became messy, but Young kept a pretty good sense of humor, even spoofing her increasing wacky image in a movie titled, “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me.” BUT Hollywood didn’t seem to appeal to Sean much after a certain point. She opted for a lot of indies and TV and marriage and kids. She appeared more content out of the A-list hurly-burly. After our brief encounter, I checked up on Sean Young on IMDB. According to that movie info site, the actress is as busy as she was back in day when she was stripping down to her bustier with Kevin Costner. She has ten — count ‘em — ten — movies completed or in post or pre-production. If I’d been prepared, I might have had a fuller conversation with Sean. Although she herself wasn’t terribly forthcoming. She did say, much to my bemusement and amusement, “Aren’t you responsible for Cindy Adams?” As Cindy is a fabulous self-made woman and columnist I couldn’t even begin to fathom this remark! I laughed and said no, but she is a friend and I love her. She is responsible for her own fame. If I run into Miss Young again, I’ll have to dig deeper on exactly what she meant? Maybe all it means is that Sean is still a woman who is just a little wacky, in the nicest way.
