WHEN IT COMES to ’80s It Girls, no-one stirred up quite so much Hollywood drama as Sean Young. The American actress was infamous for saying her piece to directors and going to outlandish levels to try to secure parts. She once dressed up as Catwoman to convince Tim Burton to cast her in Batman Returns and, she tells Empire, once followed Quentin Tarantino to a screening — “I sort of put my face in front of him and said, ‘Hey, we should do something.’” Neither pitch worked, and her direct approach didn’t do her many favours in a male-dominated industry. But one thing ’s for sure: she never phoned a role in. She talks Empire through some of her key career moments.
