Story summary

In his new memoir "One Helluva Ride," Michael Douglas revealed that actress Sean Young, who starred alongside him in the 1987 film "Wall Street," faced severe bullying on set. Specifically, Charlie Sheen taped a sign to Young's back during filming that read "Biggest c–t in the world." When Douglas noticed this, he removed the sign and advised her to ignore it. However, someone informed Young about what had happened, leading to significant tension between her and Sheen.

Douglas detailed how Young clashed with director Oliver Stone, who eventually fired her due to ongoing conflicts and a lack of screen time after she questioned her role's relevance. The film also saw difficulties for actress Daryl Hannah, who had her own disagreements with Stone over working methods, highlighting the challenging environment on set. This story underscores the tumultuous atmosphere often present during high-profile movie productions.
