Most people who sell their dog don't end up owning Hollywood. Sylvester Stallone is not most people.
The story of how Rocky got made is strange enough. The story of what it turned Stallone into is something else entirely. Somewhere between firing directors, pulling pranks on co-stars, and nearly burning an entire film to the ground — a very particular kind of superstar was born. The kind that studios feared, critics mocked for thirty years straight, and audiences couldn't stop watching.
Most stars burn out or fade away. Stallone did something stranger — he just kept going.
