nothing is over nothing you just don’t

born on July 6 1946 in Hell’s Kitchen
New York he suffered nerve damage to his
face during childbirth due to
complications during pregnancy the
misuse of forceps accidentally severed a
nerve causing him paralysis in parts of
his face resulting in his signature
speech and drooping lower lip in the
1960s Stallone attended beauty school
but dropped out when he won a
scholarship to study drama at the
American College of Switzerland after
returning home he pursued a Bachelor of
Arts degree at the University of Miami
before seeking work as an actor finding
it difficult to not only break into the
film industry but also even to survive
as an actor Stallone’s film debut was in
the 1970 softcore porn the party at
Kitty and studs shockingly the film was
later renamed the Italian stallion due
to his sudden rise to worldwide
superstardom in 1976 when he brought
boxer rocky to life before this Stallone
had only been cast as an extra and
starred in the gang drama the Lords of
Flatbush but it was the rags to riches
story of Rocky Balboa that prompted a
high demand for the actor and several
subsequent returns to the iconic role
that made him a star rocky you want the
message you want the fifty miles how do
you feel
what are you thinking about buzzer song
when the 15th oh you’re coming out how
did you when not in the boxing ring

the actor was praised for adding complex
and emotional dimensions to the
character rather than going through the
motions of an ordinary action flick
Stallone then spent the 80s bouncing
back and forth between Rambo and rocky
with each sequel getting less praise and
attention than the last
rounding out the decade he starred
alongside Kurt Russell in the Buddy
action comedy tango and cash I think
he’s telling the truth no but it’s not
raining and he’s standing on a puddle
she’s just the early 90s weren’t kind to
the actor the film’s stop or my mom will
shoot was both pant critically and
commercially and quickly hailed as his
worst project luckily he made a comeback
with a string of back-to-back hits these
included his role as a mountain climber
and rescue worker caught in a deadly
situation in cliffhanger as a cop
unfrozen in the future in demolition man
and as an explosions expert in 1994’s
the specialists like watch the die he
liked taking them down no ticket
it was his international appeal that
managed to save Judge Dredd from
becoming a box office disaster
he then increased his appeal by starring
opposite Antonio Banderas in assassins
before starring in the disaster film

down here I can see that but I’m just
asking to be patient stallone ended the
90s in the highly acclaimed role of a
cop surrounded by police force
corruption in Copland and by lending his
voice to the computer animated feature
ants unfortunately he soon received a
Razzie award for worst actor in 2000
interestingly it was based on 95% of the
films he had done in his career rather
than for a single movie part with a
career that was clearly on a downward
spiral
he took a 3-year hiatus from filmmaking
to plan his comeback with a sixth rocky
film and fourth adventure as John Rambo
