Film career
1980s Young began her film career in 1980 in the film Jane Austen in Manhattan, followed by a small role in the 1981 film Stripes, and a substantial part in the futuristic classic Blade Runner (1982). One of her biggest roles was in No Way Out, playing opposite Kevin Costner. Other notable credits include Dune, Fatal Instinct, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend. In 1989, she was cast as Vicki Vale in Tim Burton's Batman. During rehearsals, she broke her arm after falling off a horse and was replaced by Kim Basinger. In an unsuccessful attempt to win the role as Catwoman (which ultimately went to Michelle Pfeiffer) in the sequel Batman Returns, Young constructed a homemade Catwoman costume and attempted to confront director Tim Burton and actor Michael Keaton during production.
1990s Young was fired from the 1990 movie Dick Tracy. Cast as Tess Trueheart, she was officially fired for not appearing maternal in the role. Young later claimed she was fired because she rebuffed Warren Beatty's advances (a claim Beatty denies). During much of 1990s she resided in Sedona, Arizona, and her career cooled.
2000s Since 2000, Young has been busy with a variety of independent films and guest appearances on television including roles in Poor White Trash, Sugar & Spice, Boston Public, Reno 911!. In late 2007, Young finished work on two films, The Man Who Came Back and Darkness Visible. She is currently in talks to appear in the film Harvest Moon.
Personal life In 1990, Young married Robert Lujan, with whom she has two children. In January 2008, Young checked herself into rehab for alcohol abuse the day after an outburst at the Directors Guild of America awards in Los Angeles. Young was removed from the awards ceremony after repeatedly heckling director Julian Schnabel, who was onstage giving his remarks regarding his Best Director nomination for his work on the film, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.
