Sean Young on The Hurt Locker and being a woman in Hollywood



Sean Young is not a fan of The Hurt Locker for Oscar's Best Picture award: "I don't like movies that glorify war," she said. Sean Young was a guest at The Night of 100 Stars Oscar Viewing Party, and an amazingly engaging person.

Ms. Young's not shy with her views and is wonderfully refreshing. Aside from the fact that Kathryn Bigelow directed The Hurt Locker, and "she's doing well, Young said, "I'm very opposed to this war in Iraq and have been from the start." So much so that even if some in the military hate The Hurt Locker, she says the fact that the main character goes back to the war after all of his experiences essentially makes war something tolerable.

Interesting.

For someone who told EW.com she "didn't like doing interviews", Sean Young seemed to be enjoying herself. She talked openly about something this blogger did not want to bring up: her being "blacklisted."

Sean Young said she was as a very matter of fact answer to my question "What's your next project." Sean Young said "No, I got drunk at the DGA a couple of years ago. You know they say to Downey, Jr. and Kiefer Sutherland, 'Hey. Go to prison. Come back. You'll be ok. It's a man's business and they're not real kind to women."

Sean Young has a YouTube channel msyPARIAH that I encouraged her to make into a YouTube Partner video channel as a way to launch her comeback in film and media. She thinks it's a good idea.

Stay tuned.
