 Talby's Sean Young Home Page : Intro
Funnily enough, in the early 90's Young obtained one of her most demanding parts in a movie directed by Fatal Attraction's writer James Dearden, 'A Kiss Before Dying' where she played the double rol of twins sharing a fatidic destiny.
During this decade, she was let down in getting such important rols for her career as would have been Dick Tracy's Breathless (she argued that Warren Beatty had tried to get her into bed) and Batman Returns' Catwoman (even when she had showed up on a tv show in costumes, they picked Michelle Pfeiffer).
However, Sean managed to be in the unexpected hit of 'Ace Ventura', together with nascent comediant superstar Jim Carrey, and proved she could make us laugh too.
