Sylvester Stallone Childhood Story – Early Life and Family Background:

For Biography starters, Michael Sylvester Gardenzio Stallone was born on the 6th day of July 1946 at Hell’s Kitchen in New York, United States.

Sylvester Stallone was born to his mother, Jackie Stallone, and to his father, Frank Stallone Sr.

The American citizen of Italian ethnicity with French Breton roots was perfectly formed in his mother’s womb but didn’t grow up to become an ideal handsome man.

This is due to the fact that the lower side of his face suffered paralysis as obstetricians pulled him from his mother’s womb using a pair of forceps.

 

As a result, he grew up with droopy eyes and slurry voice but nonetheless faced life headlong.

“I’m not handsome in the classical sense. My eyes droop, my mouth is crooked, my teeth aren’t straight, my voice sounds like a Mafioso pallbearer, but somehow it all works.”

Remarked Stallone years later.

The acting prodigy spent the first five years of his life in boarding care before rejoining his parents in their hostile marriage.

Stallone’s family thereafter moved to Maryland in Washington, where their father Frank started a beauty parlor.

It was in Maryland that Stallone was raised alongside his younger brother Frank.

Life was not a bed of roses for Stallone and his kid brother who bore witness to the numerous fallout between their parents, culminating in divorce when Stallone was aged 9.

Stallone stayed with his father for a few years after the divorce before joining his mother who remarried in Philadelphia.

Subsequent academic pursuits saw Stallone progress to Lincoln High school, Charlotte Hall Military Academy as well as American College in Switzerland and the University of Miami, where he both studied drama.

Sylvester Stallone Biography – Journey To Fame Story:

He thereafter clinched small roles in a number of movies that neither brought him any closer to achieving fame nor improved his fast, dwindling finances.

Sylvester Stallone Biography – Success Story:

1975 was the year during which a desperate Stallone awoke the screenwriter in him after watching a boxing contest between Muhammad Ali and an underdog boxer named Chuck Wepner.

“Rocky” was filmed in 1975 and released in 1976. The movie recorded commercial success, secured many academy nominations, won honours and established Stallone as a popular actor and director.
