Blade Runner star Sean Young has admitted herself to an alcohol abuse clinic after being asked to leave an awards ceremony for heckling.
Young, 48, was escorted from the Directors Guild of America ceremony in Los Angeles on Saturday.
A spokesperson for the actress, who played Rachael in the 1982 sci-fi hit, said she had "voluntarily admitted herself" for treatment.
"She has struggled against the disease for many years," a statement added.
She was asked to leave after directing jibes at director Julian Schnabel, who was nominated for the film The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.
Schnabel was slow to start a speech thanking the guild for his nomination, and Young could be heard urging him to hurry up.
The director asked the audience who had made the comments, then suggested Young "have another cocktail".
