Sean Young...as what?


I've read elsewhere that Sean Young played a role in this film, but her part was eventually cut. I'm kind of fascinated by this performer's WAYWARD career....does anyone know what her subplot was about?

Wow...I just realized I asked this same question 3 years ago (below) and never came back for the answers : o

She played a very small part as an aspiring actress who has a fling with Woody Allen's character. It was cut out after initial previews by Allen and the producers who felt that the subplot added nothing to the entirety of the story. A good part of the final film is composed of reshoots that Allen had rewritten and one of them was the ending where Sean was suppose to be at the wedding with Cliff (Allen) engaged in some hi-jinx. Instead, we get the closing scene between Landau and Allen.

Thanks! That is a very helpful and detailed answer. Do you know if there's any production stills of any of their scenes out there?

Since some of the film's poignancy comes from the Mia Farrow character dumping Allen's...it makes that angle stronger to not show him with someone else.

I wish I knew where to find these scenes too, but I haven't had any luck. I'm sure Allen has a large volt somewhere that stores all of his unused dailies and deleted clips.

Right, I would never expect to see the scenes themselves, but usually they take still pictures on the set for anything featuring a star (as Sean Young pretty much was at the time)...and those sometimes find a way of being leaked out there. They're less under the director's control.

Oh well. Sean Young isn't very talented...but I also feel oddly protective of her. She's a basket case.
