Pet Detective Is Doing Today

Sean Young plays the villain of "Pet Detective." For most of the film you know her only as Lieutenant Lois Einhorn, a stern cop who doesn't want Ventura anywhere near her investigation. But by the end of the film Ace discovers that Einhorn, before transitioning, was disgraced Dolphins kicker Ray Finkle. Finkle missed the final field goal at Super Bowl XIX, losing the game for the Dolphins. In the intervening years Finkle becomes obsessed with blaming quarterback Dan Marino, who she claims didn't place the football correctly; she assumes the identity of Einhorn to get revenge. 

Young's career was already on a down slope when she appeared in Ace Ventura and it didn't get much better afterward. In a 2008 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Young said she didn't deserve her reputation as a difficult actor to work with, but Hollywood would seem to disagree. She was fired from the production of 1990's "Dick Tracy" and reportedly bothered Oliver Stone so much on the set of "Wall Street" that he "wrapped her scene early and had her dropped off at the bus station." 

In 2006, after years of mostly TV movie and B movie roles, she was bounced from a Vanity Fair Oscar party after crashing it by hiding behind Jennifer Aniston. Six years later she was arrested after allegedly slapping a security guard at the 84th annual Academy Awards when she showed up without an invitation. If nothing else, she seems to take networking seriously.
