Sylvester Stallone turned 71 last July. Born Michael Sylvester Gardenzio Stallone on July 06, 1946 in New York City, New York, he began his Hollywood career in 1969, but he only got his first starring role through the soft-core pornography film entitled The Party at Kitty and Stud’s wherein he played Stud.
Sylvester Stallone said in an interview that he only did the film out of desperation because he had no money back then and was homeless at the time. It was in 1976 when he finally got his big break when he played Robert “Rocky” Balboa in the film Rocky. Since then, he started on movies such as Rocky II in 1979, Rocky III in 1982, Rocky IV in 1985, Rambo III in 1988, Cop Land in 1997, and Rocky Balboa in 2006.
