early years
Biography of Sylvester Stallone contains pages about which the now popular actor prefers not to remember. He was born in New York in July 1946. Italian, French and Jewish blood flows in Sylvester's veins. Frank, the boy's father, was never a respectable family man. He humiliated his wife, but did not pay attention to the children. Stallone's teacher was the street. When the boy turned eleven years old, his parents decided to divorce. Frank took the teenage son to his apartment, trying to hurt his ex-wife, but Sylvester's life did not get better from it. All the same indifference from his father ... In 1961, the court ruled that a fifteen-year-old should live with his mother. Jacqueline Leibofish was busy with performances and dances, therefore she gave the boy to a special school for "difficult" children. Despite the harsh conditions, Sylvester realized that his life had changed. Here he found friends, took a great interest in boxing, became interested in theatrical productions. After graduation, Stallone decided to continue his studies in college, and then at the university, becoming a student of the drama department.
However, Sylvester Stallone's career in cinema did not start with militants and thrillers, but with porn films. The fact is that the directors were attracted to his appearance and actor's data, but with the speech the guy had problems. And in porn films this did not matter. Working as a trainer in the hall, a restaurant guard and a cleaner in the zoo, he decided to earn some money in the adult film "Randy". Of course, this work did not bring him fame. I had to do with a speech therapist, read classics, and spend my free time writing scripts. Then the guy starred in the "Italian stallion," but again did not get what he wanted. Now he was showered with offers, but it did not go further than porn films. Roles in pornographic pictures, he was full of throat, so he grabbed for episodic roles, not even pretending to indicate his name in the credits. Gradually the episodic roles turned into a supporting role, and the first major role in the Capone film went to Sylvester Stallone in 1975.

After a year, everything changed. Stallone wrote the script of the film with an unpretentious plot. The story of the boxer Rocky liked directors, but Stallone did not agree to sell the script for 350 thousand dollars, offering instead himself to the main role. And not lost! The beginning of a career in cinema, which Sylvester Stallone raved from his youth, was phenomenal. The first and three subsequent parts of "Rocky" made the actor not only famous, but also fabulously rich. Honorariums were estimated at tens of millions of dollars.
