Actress Sean Young has entered rehab for alcohol abuse following an outburst in which she was heckling from the audience at the Directors Guild of America awards.
The 48-year-old actress was escorted from the ballroom at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Los Angeles after heckling director Julian Schnabel, who was nominated for his film 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly'.
A statement from Insignia PR said that the actress "voluntarily admitted herself...for treatment related to alcoholism".
The statement added: "It is understood that Young has struggled against the disease for many years."
Young rose to fame following her performance in Ridley Scott's 'Blade Runner' and a couple of years later she played Michael Douglas' wife in 'Wall Street'.
She'll return to the big screen opposite Billy Zane in the drama 'The Man Who Came Back' and alongside Juliet Landau in the thriller 'Darkness Visible'.
