Michael Douglas Names Sean Young in Wall Street Memoir Account

Michael Douglas has revealed details from his memoir One Helluva Ride about actress Sean Young's experience during the production of Wall Street, describing a reported on-set conflict involving cast members and the 1987 film's crew.

According to The Mirror, Douglas wrote that Young, who played his on-screen wife in Wall Street, faced tension with some cast and crew members. He claimed Charlie Sheen placed a message on her back during filming that insulted her.

Douglas recalled that he removed the sign after noticing it and believed Young had a right to be upset after learning what it said.

"biggest c--- in the world" was the phrase Douglas said appeared on a sign placed on Sean Young by Charlie Sheen.

Douglas wrote that Young "caused a lot of problems on set" and also described her relationship with the production team.

"had a terrible relationship" was how Douglas characterized Young's interactions with the cast and crew in his memoir, according to The Mirror.

Douglas said he intervened after seeing the sign and attempted to shield Young from the message written about her.

"She had every right to be furious," Douglas wrote in his memoir, One Helluva Ride.

Douglas also described a disagreement involving Young and director Oliver Stone during a horse stable scene. He claimed Stone ultimately removed Young from the film after the dispute over her role.

"If I don’t have any lines in the scene, then what’s the point of me being here?" Young said to Oliver Stone, according to Douglas' account.

Before Wall Street, Young became known for roles in Blade Runner, Young Doctors in Love, and Dune. Douglas also wrote about actress Daryl Hannah's experience during the film's production.

In his memoir, Douglas reflected on his career and the types of characters he often portrayed on screen.

"spent a significant portion of my career playing some version of the modern, flawed, American male" Douglas wrote on the book sleeve.

Douglas added another reflection about how his life and roles connected in his memoir's introduction.

"You'll see from these pages that it wasn't exactly a stretch for me," Douglas wrote on the sleeve of One Helluva Ride.

The memoir One Helluva Ride was published October 6 and includes Douglas' recollections of his Hollywood career, personal relationships, and experiences on film sets.
