Rocky and Rambo

Sylvester Gardenzio Stallone was born in 1946 in New York, and he first played an extra at a restaurant in Switzerland. In the roller-coaster ride that is an actor’s life, Stallone was once homeless. He starred in a softcore-porn movie to earn money.

Beyond an award-winning actor, Stallone is a filmmaker and screenwriter. You might remember him from the Rocky and Rambo roles. The Rocky props are on display at the Smithsonian, Stallone was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. As Talia Shire once said, “Sylvester tapped the American spirit. I think a person who spent so long with his nose against the window sees things in a most interesting way.”
