Which actress plays Marie as an adult in Rocky Balboa?

Geraldine Hughes plays Marie as an adult in Rocky Balboa. Her character is the same Marie whom Rocky briefly encounters as a troubled young girl in the 1976 original.

In Rocky, Marie is played by Jodi Letizia. Nearly three decades later, Rocky Balboa revisits the character in Philadelphia, where adult Marie is raising her son, Steps. Hughes brings a guarded, world-weary presence to the role, while Rocky tries to reconnect with the neighborhood and offer the encouragement he once gave her.

Rocky Balboa was released in 2006 as the sixth film in the Rocky series. A common mix-up is to choose Talia Shire, who played Adrian Pennino, Rocky's wife, throughout the original films. Phylicia Rashad belongs to the Creed films, where she plays Mary Anne Creed, Apollo Creed's widow and Adonis's adoptive mother. Hughes's Marie is a supporting character, but her return gives the sequel a direct link to the first movie's Philadelphia neighborhood.
