Burt Young, Oscar-nominated actor who played Paulie in 'Rocky' films, dies at 83By ANDREW DALTON AP Entertainment WriterLOS ANGELES (AP) — Burt Young, the Oscar
FILE - Burt Young, a cast member of the film "Rocky Balboa," gestures at the premiere of the film in Los Angeles, Dec. 13, 2006. Burt Young, the Oscar-nominated actor who played Paulie, the rough-hewn, mumbling-and-grumbling best friend, corner-man and brother-in-law to Sylvester Stallone in the "Rocky" franchise, has died.
But he was always best known for playing Paulie Pennino in six "Rocky" movies. The short, paunchy, balding Young was the sort of actor who always seemed to play middle-aged no matter his age.When Paulie first appears in 1976's "Rocky," he's an angry, foul-mouthed meat packer who is abusive to his sister Adrian , with whom he shares a small apartment in Philadelphia.
"Rocky" was nominated for 10 Oscars, including best supporting actor for Young. It won three, including best picture. Young and co-star Burgess Meredith, who was also nominated, lost to Jason Robards in "All the President's Men." "It was a great ride, and it brought me to the audience in a great way," Young said in a 2020 interview with Celebrity Parents magazine. "I made him a rough guy with a sensitivity. He's really a marshmallow even though he yells a lot."
