Sylvester Stallone was born in Hell’s Kitchen, Manhattan on July 6, 1946.
He lived most of his childhood with his family in Washington DC.
When he completed high school, he attended a university in Florida, then moved to New York City.
Stallone struggled financially in the early ’70s. He was homeless for several weeks, sleeping in a bus terminal.
It was during this difficult phase that he infamously starred in a pornographic film.
However, a few years later, he achieved overnight acclaim with his landmark film, Rocky. The production was a tremendous success, grossing more at the box office than any other in 1976, and it also won three academy awards.
After this tremendous breakthrough for Stallone, he continued to produce sequels to Rocky which were all very successful at the box office. Stallone wrote the next four sequels.
Stallone’s romantic life was a popular topic in tabloids. He had three marriages and a total of five children. He married his first wife Sasha Czack, in 1974 when he was 28. The two had a son and a daughter, Sage and Seargeoh. The couple divorced in 1985. Months later, Stallone married famous model Brigitte Nielsen, but they divorced two years later.
He married Jennifer Flavin in 1997. The couple had three daughters, Sophia, Sistine, and Scarlet. As his daughters were growing up, Stallone proudly posted many family photos featuring the lovely girls on his social media accounts. Tragically, his first son Sage died in 2012, but his three daughters are all grown and work in the fashion industry as models.
