Burt Young wife: Who was Gloria DeLouise?

Burt Young, the Oscar-nominated actor who portrayed Paulie, Sylvester Stallone’s rough-hewn, mumbling, and grumbling closest friend, sidekick, and brother-in-law in the “Rocky” movies, has passed away.

Young, who was born and reared in Queens, New York, served in the Marine Corps, competed as a professional boxer, and worked as a carpet layer before deciding to pursue acting and studied at the Actors Studio under renowned mentor Lee Strasberg. He frequently portrayed working-class tough guys or small-time bad guys on stage, in movies, and on television.

In a brief but famous scene from the 1974 film “Chinatown,” he portrays a fisherman who loses his cool when Jack Nicholson’s private eye Jake Gittes shows him images demonstrating his wife’s infidelity. Later in life, he concentrated on acting in plays and painting.
