The film became a phenomenon, topping the box office for the year and making a star of lead actor and writer Stallone, who paid tribute to Young on Instagram on Wednesday night. He berates the shy, meek Adrian for refusing at first to go on a Thanksgiving-night date with his buddy and co-worker Rocky Balboa, and destroys a turkey she has in the oven. When Paulie first appears in 1976's Rocky, he's an angry, foul-mouthed meat packer who is abusive to his sister Adrian (Talia Shire), with whom he shares a small apartment in Philadelphia. The short, paunchy, balding Young was the sort of actor who always seemed to play middle-aged no matter his age. But he was always best known for playing Paulie Pennino in six Rocky movies. Young had roles in acclaimed films and television shows including Chinatown, Once Upon a Time in America and The Sopranos.
