biography
Oscar-nominated actress and producer Talia Shire was at the center of two of the most popular film franchises in Hollywood – she was the painfully shy Adrian, who won the heart of rough-hewn boxer Rocky Balboa in the “Rocky” (1976) series, and appeared as Connie Corleone, youngest daughter of Don Vito Corleone in “The Godfather” (1972) sequels. Being at the heart of a movie dynasty was nothing new to the New York-born performer – she was the daughter of musician and composer Carmine Coppola, and sister to acclaimed filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola. She later extended the Coppola family business
